I've been reading these forums a long time and now I think it's time to post something. I'm working on a game with AGS (surprise ;) ) and need some C&C on my first Screenshot. How can I improve the floor or the sky, for example.
So, here it is:

PS: Ignore the german words. :)
Impressive work there, S-Made. Very nice use of colours. Maybe adding a little more ground details (rocks, dirt clumps, etc...) would help improve it, but the sky looks fine.
By the way, is that Doom's chainsaw?
Thank you. I'll add some rocks and dirt!
Chainsaw: Yes, I borrowed it from LucasFan. ;D
Oh, and sorry, I forgot to add that my use of colors was inspired by some fantasy picture. Maybe I'll search through my collection and post it here.
I like the colors and everything. If I saw it in a game, I wouldn't point out a single thing lacking. However, since this is the biggest-asshole-in-the-world-competition forum.. I think the background is actually distracting in that it's not prevalent enough. Maybe some slightly more saturated colors (very slightly so it doesn't muck things up) might bring the background a bit more into the picture instead of making it look a bit cut-off from the foreground. Other than that I love the pixel-job and the color-scheme.
i don't really think it's a matter of the floor or the sky as it is those trees in the back
if you can add more detail to those trees so they seperate the sky from the ground better and also create a sense of space, so the trees in the foreground will look like their in the foreground and the trees in the back will look like their in the back
cause at the moment if you look at the bottom right trunk of the tree on the left that highlight just blends right in with the trees in the back
either way real nice looking

I really like this alot. The trees look very well drawn to me. I agree that the colors are superb.
Since this is a work in progress I am only going to comment on the characters shoes. You should try to use the lighter grey shade not to outline but to define the curve. (is this making sense)?
Other than that I think this is great!!
Can't wait for the game to come. :)
First, thank you all for your comments!
Yeah, I also think that there's a problem with the trees in the back. I'll try to fix this. I noticed that there is no "sense of space" as MrColossal said, but I'm having problem creating it. But as I said, I'll try.
And don't forget that the color scheme is not from me. I "borrowed" the colors from a fantasy pic as I said above.
Shoes: I never thought about that. I see what I can do. ;)
The Game will be released in 2013... or maybe a little bit earlier. But don't expect too much, because I don't have much time to work on it.
this is the best I'v eseen in a long time! please make the game in english, though!
Is that Boston Low? With a beard?
Very nice, it is a shame it's not in english, SHAME ON YOU, SHAME!, but other than that, if the whole game looks that good, I would be willing to play the game out with freetranslation.com :)
looking very good. But i agree with Mr. Colossal, the tree on the left looks like the bottom part is blending in with the background. At first glance i thought the bottom of the tree was missing. But, i still like it very much. Please post more screens.
shawn :)
I like it! And about "borrowing": don't worry about it, we all "borrow" everything, from colors to animations, from character design to background composition. The trick is to make it all your own ;)
