Title: One background to show
Post by: JLM on Wed 22/10/2003 22:50:18
I'm making a big game with AGS. It will not be ready for a long time, but I'd like to hear comments of background(s) (640x400) that we have already drawn. Here is one:

Hey, that's pretty good!  Just make sure your characters complement the semi-grainy style.

Ooooohhhh!!!!! It´s pretty, but I think, the bg needs more colour (flowers, sun, clouds...).  :)

Mm, indeed! I like the style a lot - But make sure you keep the same style throughout the game, as Migs said, otherwise it'll look rather inconsistent...

Hm... Actually, it looks suspiciously like our swedish woods... You from any part of scandinavia? :)

That looks great!

Could you show us some of your other backgrounds?

Thanks of the comments! It's nice to hear that you like the style of graphics...

Yes, I'm from Finland. :)

Here is a picture from another side of game's world:

The blurryness would annoy me a bit after a while, I'd sharpen up the bits that are meant to be in focus.  I mostly like the style though.

Ah, I almost suspected that. Hehe.
Great new picture as well - I can't find anything wrong with it, really. Show us more!  ;)
Title: My pictures vs. Tierra's graphics
Post by: JLM on Sat 25/10/2003 10:22:23
What do you think about my pictures when compared with the pictures of Tierra's games?

Actually, our goal is to achieve same or better graphic quality as Tierra's games (for example King's Quest 2 VGA).

I think the backgrounds look very much alike, but the light grass is better in the first one. The second is bright and more blury.
