Post by: Seminus on Sat 06/11/2004 17:36:55

Indeed, I'd too like to know what program you are using.

Those look cool, but it's different if you just placed all the stuff with somekind of level editor (because no-one can draw that well.. atleast not anyone I know).

Did you make the 'model's yourself? I mean, that they arn't just ripped from some site?

Indeed they do rock, and its nice to see some ISO art.

The large ones look great. The only thing I might do would be add some darker shadows on the tops of the mushrooms.

The smaller rooms are very nice, but its hard to tell whats what with the way the light is arranged. Maybe some universal light?

Breathtakingly marvolous! Cant wait to see how the chars look though. Keep it up, no crits from me except they are rather dark

Well, only the interior pics are dark, but also too small to my opinion. Characters could have some trouble walking in such an small place.

Dude. Now that is great art! You rock, and I'm going to look forward to your game!

Thx for the comments. Yes the smaller ones are going to be brighter in the final version. On my laptop they look just ok, but on my other monitor they are too dark.
I've to double check them, i think :)

What do you mean with the mushroomshadows?

Extremely nice!
Ahhh...Cadaver. Memories.Ã,  ;D

One thing, take it from someone who has been making an iso AGS game (90% complete and no progress at the moment)
plan your walkbehinds!
These will cause you massive headaches!!!!

Yes if seen this allready with my first prototyp of this game. But if its gets to complex or i have to much walkbehinds for ags (15 are arent that much ;) ) i'will simply trop a few useless objects that aren't needed. In my test game i've also used one walkbehinde layer for all objects that are on one hight. So I had a workaround on this 15 layer limit.
But I will have and see and change things if needed. :)

I've made an ISO shootup game before, and using some clever scripting I only used 1 walkbehind for multiple areas and multiple characters. It worked seemlessly, too.
