Title: Scientific Laboratory C&C
Post by: on Thu 27/05/2004 20:58:24
Here is a scientific laboratory I drew. No real usage for it yet, but I'm planning to make a game very soon. It's sorta an EGA style, except not. The guy on the "torture rack" like object is Revenant (Actually, he gains the name Revenant after the scientists rebuild his body with a metallic skeleton). In the picture, Revenant is war torn, he has lost a leg and an arm from the "Red War".

Normal size (320x200)

C&C is appreciated and I appologise if the bigger image stretches the screen for you.

Thanks, I'll check this thread later. I gotta finish some homework for my end of year assessment. I have got some ideas for the game too so I might write up some stuff when I get back.

add a few more stairs, i just noticed that the stairs go in rather than out because the wall is just a few pixels above the bottom of the stairs

I took a swing ...

(http://www.twin-design.com/ags/help/raven_help01.gif)

- changed the stair case perspective
- changed the desk(s) perspective
- altered the depth to the torture rack thing-a-majob
- added perspective/depth the power outlet
- added some details (panelling and bolts)
- changed the wiring
- added depth to computer monitors
- gave railing more dimension

I know this is more my style ... But I just thought I'd share how I saw it ;)

Keep up the good work!

Hey Darth Mandarb, I just dropped in to comment on your edit which I think is great!

The stairs, I was a little worried about but it did seem to make more sense for a classic style game. The shadowing is great, the one thing I hadn't implemented that I was the most unsure about. The wiring makes more sense, since wires are rarely mainly straight, especially since the power outlet is pretty high up. I'm not so sure about the square-ness, since I'm used to the style i've been using but I'll look into it I guess. Also, great work on the panels as always, i've always liked your panel style. :P

"I know this is more my style ... But I just thought I'd share how I saw it"

Well, you've know for ages that I am a big fan of your style, so I concider it a good thing. :)

- Thanks for your help and thanks to everyone who has commented so far!

I did a really quick edit, (the door, I made it slightly taller) I edited the first image.
