Throw them in the trash can.


They're a step backwards...

Yeah, it looks like one of those old DOS games.

I kinda like it. It stands out compared to other graal servers. House needs work and trees could be a tad bit more...realistic.

Zero Hour 09-21-2005 07:25 PM

Doesn't LOOK very nice, but it's got a funky style ;)

Thrashsoul3 09-21-2005 07:35 PM

I think they would look nicer with better color choice, and not mixing your new tiles with the old spot grass and bush.

Genesis 09-21-2005 08:20 PM

I know I was going for a new look heh...

Myomoto 09-21-2005 08:33 PM

Add more gray to ALL the colors in your palette, the tileset is an acidic color trip right now :O

The trees look quite strange. I'm glad you took the time to make the leaves and place them but that must have taken forever and there is really no rhyme or reason to your placements. It would look a lot better if you had some variation in your leaves. You went through all the trouble of placing them but you only spent a second drawing them and just rotating the one image.

Here's how I put my Bomy Island tree together. You can use it as a guide if you want, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't copy it exactly or anything.

Pretty . Of course.

That pattern is too obvious, in my opinion.

There's actually a method of determing that kind of stuff which Da Vinci studied, it's what PHI was based on... Phyllo-something. x_x... sorry for being useless

Obvious in what way? It needs to be layered so that the leaves at the bottom draw under the leaves above them, and so on. Otherwise it looks like crap. Working with the graal treetop, it's basically shaped like a sphere. You can't spread the leaves out in any other pattern that would make it better, in my opinion.

Konidias, that's amazing.

...I cannot wait to see your server. That's just hot.

Speaking of trees...! Have you tried messing around with a BEAUTIFUL tree yet? Know why I ask? Because of that type of PNG which Graal now supports...

Can you imagine leafs that are a little transparent, and in different quantities? *drools*. I've been wanting to make a nice tree since I heard the new V4 support it (I forget the name of this type of PNG, Stefan always has to remind me)... but I'm too lazy x_x.

e: Hah! Got it. It's Phyllotaxy

You need something that shows that the tiles on the house roof are 3-dimensional and not just painted onto a flat surface like a texture in a bad PSX game.

i agree with crono :o

Drastic Vendetta 09-23-2005 10:04 PM

I agree with Crono & Magadal.

Good work on the tree trunk. Thrash & Zero Hour are also right, some colors on that level are clashing, but it does have a unique, funky style to it. Keep it up i bet you could make something good out of this.

zim5354 09-24-2005 08:53 AM

I dont like the dirt (the darker dirt not the sand) the house or the trees its all...so bright... but other then that its nice. (oh and btw koni good job)

Genesis 09-29-2005 08:09 PM

Which colors do you think are clashing?

protagonist 09-29-2005 08:40 PM

The trees look like broccoli.

petro1212 09-30-2005 10:41 AM

Beach:
The beach tile is ok but it could do with some extra addons such as shells and other items.

Grass:
The pallet of the grass compared to that of the beach tile is nice. But seriously get rid of the patch of grass (the darker colour) it clashes like hell.
Also get rid of the bush.. either make a diffrent one or leave it out of the picture.. it hurts the eye

Sand:
The patern is reasonable but you should make it adjust to the colour of the grass cause it clashes.

Water:
Did you make it yourself? Anyhow try to lighten it cause it clashes with the rest of the stuff and it looks rather horrible as a graphic on its own especialy in that colour. (Sorry personal opinion)

The tree:
The leafs should be redone (like kondias suggested) but the base is ok..


The House:
I personaly dislike it and it has no dimensions. Try to go for a better roof design. The /-\ (cut off piramide) shape your using doesn't work very well try to go for /\ (triangle) instead and it would look better. You might even want to take a look at this.

Its a better angle for a building I guess.

I actually like it aside from the bushes and trees.

That water is hot.
