Island

This is a picture of an island from my side project game.

I don't like the water. Dump the gradients and stay with the simple look. Except from that it looks swell.

Don't critisize the water becouse I didn't add any detail to it yet.

HillBilly · Wed 11/08/2004 20:18:51

Whatever. I just look at the pic and reply. Anyway, I don't see any errors at the island, so get workin' on the water!

ok ok. Here's a litlle fix on the ocean.

I'm going to add the huts to. This is actualy a map. Sorta like in Monkey Island 3 where the maps were not from a birds eye wiew but a sort of 3/4 wiew.

I did a really quick edit of the ocean:

My choice of colour was bad, but you get the idea.

viktor · Wed 11/08/2004 22:05:24

you mean something like this:

I also added some houses on the beach like a colony of some sort, a lonley hut on the other side of the island and a rock of some sort in the midle of the right part.

EDIT: I forgot to tell you. the palm tree is supose to be biger than the houses becouse it's a gag in the game.

^^ i don't think in the last 2 pictures, the lighting of the water corresponds with the one on the island

Haddas · Wed 11/08/2004 22:17:34

I don't think that's lighting on the water. I think it's the sand going down into the water and the water getting deeper. (Yay, new smiley

)

quick uh, paint over, or something..

viktor · Thu 12/08/2004 08:22:34

WOAH! That's some paintower. But you changed all to many things. And the stile is way of for my game. But thanks anyway.

I think you should take note of blackbird. The top of the mountain is very flat and looks kind of odd.

DanClarke · Thu 12/08/2004 09:47:27

can i also add that the proportion of your tree on the top of the mountain is a little out, as it seems to be a lot bigger than any of the huts. If i were you id just reduce the size of it a bit. It'd be nice to see some more detailling to make it a little less empty, but as you say its a map so no doubt we'll see that im sure. Other than that looks good.

viktor · Thu 12/08/2004 10:28:00

As I said the tree at the top is supose to be that big becouse it's a puzzle and a gag in the game. But I'll fix up the flat top a bit

EDIT: How bout now.

whoops, my bad.

Chicky · Thu 12/08/2004 10:58:31

is the writing on the island going to be in game? If it is may i suggest making it only come up when over the area, and maybe make it slightly transparent.

larrreeeh vallllllez!1!

viktor · Thu 12/08/2004 13:15:58

hm...
I dont know how to do that but I'll find out.

Phemar · Thu 12/08/2004 14:40:31

CreateTextOverlay, or CreateGraphicOverlay if you prefer to use sprites. See the manual.

Nice BG btw. I don't like the water colors though.

Sorry to be an ass, but village is spelled with two l:s...

n3tgraph · Thu 12/08/2004 16:00:55

I liked the blue-er water in hillbilly's pic better

, but that might just be me
