The unexpectable has happened, I've returned to the CL...

Anyway:

Original:




New one on 05-12-05:


I tried to make a type of fireladder, but everthing I tired looked awful. That's the best I got. And I don't like it.



New one on 05-13-05:


So I did the outlines to this point. I managed to improve the ladder, but the platform is way out of perspective, and when I tried to make it "flatter" in the image, it looked really messy...



New on 01-05-06:


I just whipped the ideas out of my head and did some corrections according to what I remembered of this thread's contents.

Work in progress. I'm starting to be happy with it so far, but what do you think? Anything there you don't understand? Anything clearly out of perspective?
I used to make games but then I took an IRC in the knee.

Not bad but the perspective goes pretty badly wrong in some points.

This background is obviously meant to be a scrolling background, in which case it absolutely should not have a single perspective point.

Once you add details it should fit into your cop game very well.

Umm... but... well, yeah I didn't think about that. :-[

Shame on you, Pablo, shame on you! :P

I've been thinking about the perspective issue, and for now it looks good... The alley part though is boethering me... It looks so dull to me. I'll see if I can get something done with it later today.

You could make a fence in the back of the alley with the city's background beyond?

This would break up the two buildings... right now they look somewhat "glued" together.

I dont mean to wreck all the fun but that BG looks awfully like it was made in MS paint. If so you should really try some other paint programs

I hope that wasnt bad timing

Yeah, you should use some other painting and drawing programs like Adobe Photoshop or Paintshop pro. There's nothing wrong with your background, but I think  it needs some more trash and stuff. :P
Wall needs some cracks and holes.

I know you can do better than that.  :)

It's actually made in Photoshop, but my style is something you can well achive in MSPaint too, if you haven't noticed already. :)

Actually, simulating mutiple perspective points with scrolling rooms are impossible to say the least, unless you cheat a bit. I'd say go with a fixed perspective point, until the sheer width of the page will ruin it. This would happen in about... eh.. 3x the screen width?

I'll keep the perspective as it is for now, it's not that big to fix, but it'll be big to change it from that afterwards for some points, like the road stripes, if others change.

Anyway, I worked on the alleyway, but failed to extend it further in a satisfying way, and thus hit the wall that stands in the end of it. See first post.

I agree. If the glass double door appear together with the alley in the same screen, it would look odd. So a single perspective point would be safer. Doing "cheats" correctly ,as 2ma2 said, would be much more painful.
Trying to make my first AGS game.

A new one... the ladder is good, but the platform is not...

ummm I think the inside of the left building looks wierd.
(im assuming the purple inside is the carpet)
It looks like its too high up if you know what I mean.  :-\
It's hard to explain....

The horizon of the fence and the horizon inside the house doesn't match up, if that was what you we're trying to say.. ;)
