Heres one of the BGs used in my game



I know the sign is a very rough Cut & Paste but it is very hard to change in Flash MX

EDIT: what could i put in to not make it look so "bare"

Raider

Detail....


Here are some clouds I did for my game for you to have a look at....



I'm not sure if that matches your style but its sort of cartoony.

Also you can add mountians at the backside.
Games are art!

Ehrmm...what's that giant grey cock in the right side of the rooftop?

I think it's supposed to be a... cloud, that Raider forgot to remove in his edit (he removed the other one though), which incidentally looks like... some... other... thing... :=

I don't know, but I think the gray moon (it WAS a moon, right?) looked a bit sad, maybe add some yellow to it to make it more match the funky style.

I thin k it's okay to put that sign post like the original though, if it's suppose to be something very close in the foreground, the "text" on the note Raider added looked nice, but I think it can be kept in fewer lines to match the simplistic style (maybe, just 3 lines like the original).

Also, it may help if you add stars too.

Just personal opinions.

Yes! Freud would love this BG.  ;D

Some suggestions:

  • neon sign and wood? Could work, but I would show some wiring hanging/linking it to the store.
  • that fence looks odd where it is. It's kindda uninviting for costumers. Unless you're going to to add parking spaces in front of it.
  • get rid or change the shape of Freudian cloud!  ;D
  • spread some of the moon glow in the sky near it and as Gilbot said, stars! Unless the store is in a heavily polluted urban centre or something...
Cheers,
Stefano
Trying to make my first AGS game.

The way i'm going you would think it was my pic up hereÃ,  ;)



- Fixed Dick/cloud
- Added stars (yellow)
- Added yellow smudge to moon
- Put in a glow from moon
- Put wires on sign
- Changed sign (for you Gilbot)Ã,  :)

Abisso

A lot better know, even if I didn't appreciate what you wrote on the sign near the door. I find it inappropriate and luxurious.

What do you mean? Or was that a joke that my weak sense of humour didn't pick up?  ::)

i know its not as good as raiders but at least I drew it.

p.s You have no idea how many programs it took me to edit this

Can't you settle for just one program? I think that newest one has way too much diffrent style stuff in it...

* The gradients on the windows are too detailed for the rest of the style
* The sign's shadow looks very odd, it's out of perspective badly
* The wires are... too diffrent style, fix atleast thsoe.
I used to make games but then I took an IRC in the knee.

<Calin> Ishmael looks awesome all the time

Hehe but Brat hadn't updated his pic yet, where is the newest one?

=The=Brat=

ur probaly using Mozzila

Ishmael

That red ex... you'll need to copypaste, it supports hotlinking quite poorly, I saw the pic once displayed properly, then it got to a red ex again... I'm on IE now.

#16
No problem

heres the next one



:D ;D YAY THIS IS A "HOT TOPIC YAYÃ,  Ã, ;D:D

P.S i know its very rough but you get that

Mozesh

I think the shadows of the fence should be more like this:(fast edit)(really fast edit)

Like I did with the first two poles.

Ishmael

I think it really depends on where the light source is.

But the mountains or whatever in the  background bother me... they just.. end behind the building...

Yes, but even with the light source where it should be the shadows still look weird ;)
No offense Brat ;)

More like that then.
And congrats with your hot topic brat ;) lol!
