overhead & blurred.

by **riggable** on Sun Jul 01, 2007 12:04 pm

You only blurred the road - or at least thats the only difference i can see. My biggest problem is with the overhead fence, It looks awkward to me.

by **snufkin** on Sun Jul 01, 2007 1:18 pm

nah he blurred it all and I think it looks better.

What is wrong with the fence?

i will get to work on the shadows and general improvements

Blurred and overhead gets my vote as well

I use the gimp.

in other news i have a new update of the my blurred overhead view of Asgard:

suggestions, come on chaps, suggestions this way.

by **DiM** on Sun Jul 01, 2007 3:50 pm

the image looks nice but more suggestions could be made if we saw at least a rough sketch of the map. so far we have just bits.

by **gimil** on Sun Jul 01, 2007 4:39 pm

your shading isnt consitant with some of it facing the wrong direction

by **Unit_2** on Sun Jul 01, 2007 11:27 pm

its too small, you need to make it alot bigger....

thats not true, while there is some shading at slightly awkward angles, none of it is the wrong direction (assuming the suns too the north)

ok i see where its coming from now. sorry of the confusion

by **DiM** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 3:19 am

actually gimil is right there should be more shades:

yeah i will draw one as soon as i can.
but i have not fully planed the rest of the map though, so it will be nowhere near a final copy.

that is only one eighth of the image.

cheers for pointing out where they need to be improved only one i think it is wrong is the one on the top left building because the bit you highlighted would be in the shadow of the wall anyway.

by **gimil** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 3:30 am

never mind DiMs right lol.

Telvannia please post a rough draft of the full image so we can give you some real feedback.

by **Telvannia** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 6:02 am

here is a very rough draft of the final idea, (i have not added territories to each section yet because i dont know where they will be, it depends how each section looks after i have finished the graphics.)
For example Asgaror (Asgard) in my plan was only going to have 6 territories but after drawing it i found i could fit in 8!

each section:

you should start by having the entire background as teh grass texture and build on top of it etc

by **Kaplowitz** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:08 am

Wow, i thnk that it is gonna be really good!

by **snufkin** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:57 am

Alfheimr was also a real kingdom...

I have a house and spent most of my childhood in what used to be Alfheimr (later Raniriki -> Båhus len -> north Bohuslän)

Sweden stole it from Norway/Denmark about 340 years ago..

sry for the slightly OT

might be a idea, im not sure what the background will be, because nothing seems right. cant be white, cant just be ground, so that i will have to think about.

Kaplowitz wrote:Wow, i thnk that it is gonna be really good!

hopefully it will be, but it need to be graphically improved first.

by **Telvannia** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 4:35 pm

here is a map with names and army circle and corrected shadows.

by **gimil** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 5:02 pm

looking much better but the terr names are pixalated and hard to read.

by **Telvannia** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 5:13 pm

that because i had to use a small type font in order to make it fit.

might use a different font in the final image.

by **gimil** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 5:15 pm

can we have some little people walking around

by **DiM** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 7:04 pm

the map looks good and has potential. i'll post more when i see the terits so i can get a good look at the gameplay
