Until the Dawn - Backgrounds (Dpainted, as ever)

[Scavenger]

Hmm... no wonder they used DPaint for MI, etc. It's not just a pretty face! Plus, it's in multiple resolutions, from the obvious 320x200-800x600, to the less obvious 640x200, 1024x768, and the hercules one, all in 2, 4, 16 and 256 colours! I would have used a higher res for my game if this computer weren't so slow. But, here are the first two rooms to UTD!

Ryruu's Room.

This is the first screen you'll ever see. The door on the right cannot be entered, tampered with etc, and this room supplies 4 inventory items, and is the start of both Episode I (Propheting from Fur) Part I (Finding the Evidence) and Part II (Late Night Reconecance.)


After climbing out the window, you're in your own back yard. To the left leads to Mesovich's ship, the main area in Part II. The right leads to the village map screen. Blocking your way is Lierehn (alias Lie) the poet. He does NOT like people trampling past him, but if you give him the right incentive, he will leave. The river isn't very deep or fast flowing, but nor is it impossible to fall in. Its not fatal, though. That rock looks like the perfect place for small amphibians....

C+C the rooms, in their entirety. Not just art, but my descriptions, too. Oh, and I didn't draw these. A friend of mine (alias Mike Da Hat) did the line art. I coloured in and edited them in DP.

I really like them. I would maybe make the river maybe come up a bit farther. You know, like make the tide... um... make the color spots wider :p. And the window doesnt seem to fit with the 2nd background. Its all happy hillsy and the 2nd room is like scary river forest thing...

I know about the window thing. Bah. I forgot to change the picture in the window.It's on the list!

And it's a rainforest. You know, scary dark river rainforest. Eh, it suits the game.

i like the coloring style -- particularly the grassy looking bed and the plantlife outside the house. very cute and gives a little bit of rpg mood to it, imo.
