Stardust Gear Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Looks good but it's like third fangame I know to use Ristar's snow level graphics with little to no modifications. Not that it's a bad thing per se but it certainly reduces it's originality. The graphics are changed, it is not exactly the planet freon's one. Planet freon has a cyan or turquoise tone, and Antarctic Amethyst is very bright blue. The snow of this zone also looks original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is edited indeed but for some reason it looks least interesting of the three. Sorry if I sound harsh and nonconstructive but you should probably consider make it standout more. I hope it's just an early version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthyMC Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hold it! Are you still making that? YES! Are you talking about the screenshots of the game's Felik posted? Haven't heard news from those games in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briraka Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 As far as I can recall, XG was canceled, but Emerald Ties is still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Actually XG is still going and ET was canned, but it used to be the otherway around so at one point you were right Briraka. Posting suggestion lists is fine, but let's not critique other's posts, or critique others critiques of posts. It reeks of back seat moderation and adds nothing to the conversation. If an actual Moderator sees an issue they'll take care of it without Lange and Highwire's help. No need to make another mess like the Overture thread. Moving on.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a while ago in the old Edge of Darkness thread things got pretty messy between Delta, Blazefire, and maybe someone else. Can't remember.

OverbounD Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 But things are looking good now. BTW, do you have a copy of photoshop? You could make a lot of different slopes better than what BID can do if you did. Or if you just post a copy of the snow I could make you some additional slopes.

StealthyMC Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 No I don't own any copy of any good image editor actually haha. Graphics have never really been a good skill of mine, I usually just let Delta do all the visual stuff. I added in ground tiles in case you needed them: If you could make some slopes that'd be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Here you go. If you need any specific ones draw a line out and I will attempt to match. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thank you anyways haha I should probably make some general collision masks with these sprites too for use in later levels if they have slopes like this.

OverbounD Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Just used the warp tool in photoshop. Pretty simple actually provided you know how to do it. It's nice to see fan games with slopes that are not from BID. Because slopes from BID tend to be very short. Granted it has potential to make longer slopes but BID's method for sloping things is best on grass and no one makes custom masks for BID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it costs a good amount of money there's probably a good reason why I don't have it lol. I noticed these kinds of slopes were in games like Sonic ATS, reminds me of Horizon Heights and its speedy pathways. If you don't mind me asking, what is BID exactly? :b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Oh I assumed you were using BID to make your slopes now. Here's a copy if you are in need. It will make slopes too, using a different method. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5170721/batch-image-deformer.rar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jassbec Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Are there any tutorials on the net to show me how to use this? ._. I've never used this thing before. It's really easy, just use those black and white slope pictures in a folder And then select a grass/snow/ground tile as your source file You'll get something like this in the folder you choose as the output folder -In a nutshell- Fairly easy if I do say so myself.

Stardust Gear Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Jassbec and SuperBliz, I made a program that makes slopes of bloks. You just need the ground texture and the floor (and the ceiling). Black solids included. It will be much easier to make custom sonic zones.

So I just tried that and it made all these slopes with the snow. Holy crap this is awesome. Thank you very much Jassbec Jassbec and SuperBliz, I made a program that makes slopes of bloks.

Stardust Gear Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I will publish my slopes maker. It will support batch exporting chunk. It supports also slope maker documents. Instead of slopes folder, It will use slope presets. (like presets of photoshop). You can add also interior texture, and make slopes manually. I may make more sonic zone utilities!!

OverbounD Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 That's good I didn't mean to say BID was bad, just not used to it's full potential sometimes. BID is a very useful tool. I use both ways myself photoshop and BID. Heck sometimes I use both of them and with some editing by hand. It depends on the graphic and the kind of curve or slope I want to make.
