Delta Hedgehog Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Figured since I made a custom palmtree, I should remake some of the plants and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Good Job Delta! That palm tree is the best thing you've made yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks. I created another one that is much better. It has dithering and everything. I might use one, or both. Mostly likely both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 This new one you just made is even better. Cuts off part of the palmtrees cliche on green zones. I just so damn love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Thanks LH. BTW, can anyone help me out with creating some original grass? Maybe something like this? Credit to Blue Emerald And for everyone bitching about how much I've changed Shimmering Hill Zone, I have come up with some concepts for Forgotten Ruins, and I'm currently working one the graphics for Cryostone Drifts and Aquamarine Maze as well. No previews any time soon, but just thought I'd put that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Double Post. Made a mockup for Forgotten Ruins. Made by mixing Hydrocity, Dust Hill, Collision Chaos, Sandopolis, and Oil Ocean. Cactus is Custom Made. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Careful with your cactus, it seems like it shines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'll see what I can do to fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtAnderson Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Need any graphic help? I'm willing to sprite and make graphics (title, etc.) for it. Title concept or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 OH SHIT THIS HALF-SHADOWED SONIC CONCEPT IS JUST... And you seem to draw pretty well too, VirtAnderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetHawk95 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I know it's only a mock up but I'm happy to see someosrt of visual interpretation of what the level will look like... I really hope you can finish Shimmering Hill and move on soon.. I'm not saying don't perfect your levels, Cus Shimmering Hill does look BEAUTIFUL! Just maybe go back and perfect levels after you've got them roughly implemented into the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 The mock-up is nice and all it's just you need a light source on your cactus. Another thing I noticed is that the level has like 3 themes. It has a rocky theme, a desert theme and judging by the background a mechanical theme. These might clash? It's called forgotten ruins yet it has massive metal structure just a pit of lava away from it. The cactus' also seem to be coming out of the rocky tiled floor which doesn't make a lot of sense. I guess this isn't something urgent it's just something that I tihnk would bug me. Try not to go overkill with a stages themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetHawk95 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think by Forgotten ruin he may mean there is ruins but there been destroyed by factories.. as if there worth nothing and will soon be forgotten... maybe I'm been stupid though xD I Personally dont think the cactus fits the rest of the tiles, at all.. Not even the enviroment. It shouldn't grow out of rocks xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I Got my inspiration from a couple of already exsisting desert levels. Perhaps I could change the name to suit the theme better, but at the moment, I can't think of any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think you've just clashed too many themes. And the cactus' on Desert Dash zone come out of earth, yours come out of rocks and tiles, it makes no sense. You've tried to add a lava/mountanous theme to a desert/mechanical theme and it's a bit of an overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'll see what I can do to change it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think just trying not to use so many themes would work better. Or do what I'm doing for my desert level which is one level out side in the sand with machinery and the next act undergorund with lava and caverns.

Delta Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I do apologize for using it. I only used it as a placeholder until I could finish the one I am currently working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Right. You really need to stop doing that Delta. The first it was Blaze's Sonic which you still deny, this and I'm pretty sure there have been other times too. Its one thing to be inspired by others but you cannot take directly from others games without asking not even temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I decided to go ahead and use the Dust Hill Background piece. Made the smaller layer by shrinking the bigger one down. I'm keeping the brick pattern though. I like it. Cactus Still needs fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetHawk95 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Maybe have the cactus's in the background, In the sand. They dont grow on rocks... Could still have them in the foreground, Just have some parts of the level set on sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
