Slingerland Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Ugh...I've always despised that background. So fugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaotiz Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Well it came of good use to me, I used it for the scene where metal sonic reawakens, it overall came out pretty good, I tried to make it look like a devastated version of a portion of the level, using over turned destroyed columns, fountain with blood (which shouldn't even be running), ominous sky, and the death egg crashed in the background, I'll post a screenshot after school today. I need to know though, is it normal to have a file size of 22 megs this early in developement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Eh...exactly how much do you have done? If you're not even 5/8th of the way there...then no, that's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaotiz Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Seems he's having a little trouble, looks to be where he fell in the sanctuary, not a nice area either. His damages don't seem to be that bad then... Ah shit, seems he's still having a little trouble, wonder if that'll be advantageous, or somewhat more destructive. We'll have to see.

Slingerland Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Cool screens, but next time, only show us the game window and not the rest of your window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 oh dear, the colors are in desperate need of more contrast. I know you are going for a muddy look, but everything looks so close to the same that the entire image, forground and back is sort of blending together.

Ironrind Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Damn...some sky nice sanctuary pics..looks really good but yeah it's a bit flat..It looks like deahthegg is right up against the tiles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaotiz Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I might switch over to some different sky sanctuary sprites, if someone can help develope some more fitting to the 16-bit sonic and knuckles designs. Only a few of my friends are good sprite artists, and more than half of them are lazy. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Not bad looking. The tiles look over-textured to me, really overtextured. I also agree with what people above are saying about it all sort of blending together. The Death Egg also looks like it''s right behind the tiles, but this is an easy fix. Maybe you can add in some paralax effects, add in more background layers, and resize the Death Egg and place it further in the BG. May make everything look a bit better.

Khaotiz Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 It's been quite a while since I posted anything, but I had alot to get through with before i could work on the game again, but I managed to 'seemingly' fix the death egg problem. The tiles are still overtextured, but when I thought about it, it gives it a darker feeling... kinda.. The clouds in the front flow smoothly across the screen to give it that kinda, debris cloud effect, and i'm probably going to work some damage into the graphic of the death egg, but I'm still widely open to suggestions.

Khorney Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 i'm not really feeling the fountain of blood, but otherwise looks pretty cool! i'd probably have no water coming out, and perhaps the fountain broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaotiz Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I was thinking about that earlier, if sky sanctuary fell, the fountain probably wouldnt have even survived, let alone be pouring out anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 word of advice? Alt + Printscreen. It captures whatever window you're focused on instead of the entire monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 The fountain of blood is too corny. Follow Khorney's advice and have it pour nothing or break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Speaking of taking things away, get rid of that damn z in legendz. Jeez I hate that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Speaking of taking things away, get rid of that damn z in legendz. Jeez I hate that shit. Depends on the game atmosphere. If it's going to be dramatic and "dark" like the last screenshot, then yes, remove it. If it's going to be humorous than the z could stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 We've told him to get rid of the stupid "Z" before, but he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockman Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I say he should add an additional "z" for the sake of sheer dickery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaotiz Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I just hadnt gotten around to it, thats been the furthest thing from my mind at the moment. Should I change it to an S or remove it all together. I feel if Its sonic legend, it gives of a more serious tone than legends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sonic Legends is good. Sonic Legend sounds like some bad Engrish. And you might as well take out the "2". Nobody remembers the first one, and if I remember correctly, you said you didn't even have it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaotiz Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Im not sure, I might have to do an overhaul redesign of the title screen, with just the title, a picture of sonic, and a menu that you flip through with the arrow keys I also forgot to take the 2 off the title bar before taking these pics, It's out now.
