Quote from: AndreasBlack on Fri 06/09/2024 20:00:39Have you tried with regions walk on/off? I think i did something similar with that. I have this guy that is using his drilltool and it's just going to sound when the player is close to him..

if (player.x > 599 && player.x < 900)
{
if (AMBIENCE_4.Volume == 10)
{
AMBIENCE_4.TweenFadeIn(1.0);
AMBIENCE_4.Volume = 100;
}
AMBIENCE_1.Volume = 0;
AMBIENCE_2.Volume = 0;
AMBIENCE_3.Volume = 10;
}
if (player.x < 200) // L E F T E N T R Y
{
AMBIENCE_1 = aForestandsqueak75bpm.Play(eAudioPriorityHigh, eRepeat);
AMBIENCE_1.TweenRoomLocation(1.0, 2, 133, 300, 100);
}
if (player.x > 1100) // R I G H T E N T R Y
{
AMBIENCE_2 = aBeach_Gulls.Play(eAudioPriorityHigh);
AMBIENCE_2.TweenRoomLocation(1.0, 766, 152, 150, 100, eEaseOutCircTween, eNoBlockTween);
}
Quote from: AndreasBlack on Sat 10/08/2024 12:37:52I would say google one-point perspective and two-point perspective. You seem to go by feel and not by "rules". I know rules suck generally, yeah i get it, i dislike em' toobut when it comes to drawing, getting those angles of objects in a room to a better state will improve your stuff immensely. Take it from one that used to draw "by feel", now i'm much more proud of the bakgrounds.
Here's an example of a bakground drawing it is entirely from imagination no reference images were used. Just basic knowledge of vanishing points is used, and about 5 years now of pixelart-creation from time to time!*Shameless plug*. I've keept the vanishing lines so you can get a feel for how it's done.

What devilry is this!?Quote from: Snarky on Sat 10/08/2024 11:27:48- In this cartoony style, I think the colors could be more vivid. Everything looks a bit "washed out" to me (except that some of the darker red-browns and blues appear over-saturated compared to the other colors).
- You should be more conscious of and bolder about contrasts. In the third image, it's hard to make out the details of the couch and shelf because you're using very close shades of red/brown (and the shelf also tends to blend in with the floor). Similarly, in the last image I didn't even see the table because it blends in almost entirely with the floor. Meanwhile, in the second image the crates and nearer poles of the pier "pop" out of the image: they contrast very strongly with the rest, in a way that doesn't seem intentional, while the far poles don't have enough contrast against the sea: different hue, but nearly the same value.)
- You're using basically no shadows or shading. It's as if there are no defined light sources. This creates a rather flat feeling and doesn't give any sense of mood or atmosphere.
- In the third and the last images, the angles are so high that most of the screen is taken up by the floor, which is boring. Lower the camera so that more of the screen is filled by things in the room and on the walls.
- You have some bad tangents, where the edges of different things line up so that they seem like part of the same shape. Most obviously on the right side of the first image, where two different struts of the walkway line up exactly so that one seems to continue the other. (I also question the engineering of this construction; it would make more sense if the same beams did continue down all the way to the floor.) But also the top of the building roof in picture four lining up with the image edge.
To spot some of these issues, it may be helpful to examine the images by hue, saturation and value. To examine the value, you can just desaturate the image (convert it to grayscale), while hue and saturation are a bit trickier: in Photoshop you can put a flat gray layer below the image layer and set the blend mode of the image layer to "Color" to see the Hue and Saturation together. These tend to be so closely linked that you don't need to examine them individually, but if you add another layer with a perfectly pure color (e.g. pure red) on top and set its blend mode to "Saturation" you can see just the hue contrast, while diffing the image with a desaturated version of itself gives just the saturation contrast.
I'll keep working on it!
