MY SCREENSHOT IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!

@ Max: Ohh, so that's VX, huh? Wow. I thought it was XP for a moment (possibly because I never read your comment before looking at the screenshots =P). BUt then the TileSets, and the the maps were made me wonder... There seems to be a decently big difference between the way the XP and VX tiles are. Well, to me anyway. Maybe that's because I haven't seen all that much of VX yet. =O

Anywhoo, they're good. I like the sci-fi aspect of 'em. I'ts not medieval or anything liek that! I'd have to say that I'm a sucker for those types of games, though, so I'ma not gonna say anything bad about them. But I like the way everything looks, so this sci-fi is good!


@LWG: Difficult to see where your going? Not really. I can clearly tell the difference between the path and the different sections of the mountain. If it's all like what you've shown us here, then there should really be no problems. Also, I like the way you have the mountain set up! That, as well as it's color. It's warm...and peaceful. Makes me want to look at it for a while longer.

The first one definitely looks a lot cleaner.

I don't do clean maps, I do clutter fuck :)

Maybe the stairs don't fit. Maybe they are arbitrary, but I like the look of the stairs better. And maybe ease up on the shading more like the first one, but keep the big rock from the second, me thinks.

Thanks man. I'll ease up on the shading for sure, but the stairs are staying out, I really think they look dreadful, sorry. Anything else need changing?

So do you both think the first one looks better? >_< this is why I should post on this topic more, I can't judge what looks good at all!

@LWG>> Like Neophyte said, it's your choice. Depends on whether you like simplistic or detailed maps, and from the looks of it, you like detailed maps. So, in my opinion, I'd say the second one.
@Max>> I like the atmosphere! Btw, is the first screen meant to be a spacecraft of some kind?

Um, WTF are you posting those for?

This is the Screenshot Thread in the forum that talks about game development. You are supposed to post screenshots of your games.

I have no idea what the above posts are referring to. Has the offending pot been removed??

@Max>> I like the atmosphere! Btw, is the first screen meant to be a spacecraft of some kind?

Thank you! Yes, all of the screenshots are from the same spacecraft. It's hard to convey a spacecraft with the tilesets I have, but I tried to give the impression using very cramped spaces and narrow corridors. And seeing the scrolling stars in motion helps.

@Eschalt:
I like the style and the rusty atmosphere; but the tileset seems rather blurry and anti-aliased. I also think that it may be a good idea to put a "text box" per se around the "PHARMACY" pointer. c:

I also think that something should be done about the Coca Cola logo. One is its perspective: it looks "flat" compared to the buildings perspective-wise, because of the lighting. It could probably be fixed by running an upward black gradient through those tiles to simulate the effect. Also, darkening it a bit might make it fit into the background more.

But aye, I like the style and atmosphere, and the char-set seem to fit in with fair consistency.

I'm just going to post a poster that contains 6 screenshots, rather than going through the hassle of dissecting them. Serves as a shameless plug anyway :P :

Eschalt, that is awesome, and an awesome project idea.

Reives, people have said before that it looks blurry, I just never got around to trying to fix it. Hopefully this looks better? The only thing I changed was the sidewalk and the roof tile above the coca cola sign (which is actually supposed to be like a giant LCD screen. In the game, it flashes and animates, just like almost all of the other signs.) Also, I added some texture to the road tile, to the point where I can now call it my own personal custom edit.

I wonder if I will ever finish this. (It has been like 5 years now, on and off. That is longer than a Nexus 6's lifespan and I feel so very unaccomplished...)
