Serephim Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I dont mind anything, but the biggest distractment is that it basically looks like a repeating pattern, and its not the inside, its the slope. The rocks just get cut off on the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I still only see two tones of rockage? After staring at it for a bit, I can also see that the lighter rocks are a different shape, but it's too subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosol Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I like that so far, though that waterfall in the background looks....funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Still needs to do something to address the over-consistency of the rocks. It would help if they just weren't all on the same 16 pixel grid aligntment type thing. Just as an incomplete example.... Rather than doing the big rock thing, try shifting alternating vertical lines of rocks by about half the distance so that it looks like you don't have these perfect rows of rocks in the soil. EDIT: here is a slightly better bad example: Notice how the example on the left looks a little more natural. Go with that concept I guess and just try to keep infusing every next part with more variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Hog Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 While that does work better, I still say you need a completely different 16x16 rock graphic peppered here and there to break the monotony. Just shifting around or changing the color of the existing graphic ain't gonna cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZFG Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Took DimensionWarped's advice and made it go some of the tiles go 4 pixels down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ParadoxX Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 This photoshoped grass shadow doesn't fit with the shadow from the flat places... Also, I don't like how the grass get distorted in the curves, it's pixelated, making it obvious that you're using damizean's tool... And in the loop, the rocks are cuted like wall paper, maybe grass would solve the problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZFG Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 yeah it will be changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Put grass on the top and bottom of the loops. And do the grass shadow the same way you did it for flat ground so it matches. Looking good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tentril Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 You shouldn't see the sky in the water. You should see... well, water. The reflection is pretty cool. I don't think it should reflect the HUD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The reflection really doesn't make any sense. The water we are seeing is actually a cutaway plane vertically. It isn't the surface of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 fuck it and ignore it, it looks cool enough, finish the fucking level GOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I agree with Serephim; it looks fine, I just don't think the ground should reflect so strongly as well as that the HUD shouldn't reflect at all. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icecreamkid Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Here is a screen from my side project which is a Shadow the Hedgehog fan game. This screen demonstrates how Chaos Control works in my game. Basically if an enemy is a certain distance from the player the player will teleport to the enemy's x and y position destroying the enemy. Great for getting past solid walls to different areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felik Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow! It's so cool that I pissed my pants! Seriously it looks bad, Teleportation effect looks more like some axid or poisonous gas then chaotic flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Alright dude, you can tone down on the scathing sarcasm. Personally, I'd hesitate to judge any special effect that I hadn't seen animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorney Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 that's the thing from sonic neo(god? no idea, the name was retarded anyway)speed (IIRC) right?. that was cool, i approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
