SkywardRiver Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 More work on mapping for the Unknown Project    Been working on adding more shading to areas to make it flow a bit better. Let me know what you think and what I can improve on! I'm still a bit iffy on that "tree canopy" off the highrise of the mountain. We'll see I suppose.

Kibbelz Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 @SkywardRiver take this with a grain of salt.  Your cliff walls are inconsistent. Cliff walls must always be the same height in 2D. On the left side, just right of the cabe enterance your cliff height in tiles decreases. Also I'm not sure I like what you're doing with your cliffs above the water ontop of the waterfall.  You're shadows are also inconsistent. Remember your light source is always coming from 1 direction in game. In nightmare we use top left. Currently you have light coming from top left for the little mountain bridge and from the south for the cliff just above the canopy.  Your fields are repetative and very bare, always try and shape a direction into your world! Maybe add a river or more cliffs to do this. Even a fence.  You've got the skills to be better and I know you can take constructive criticism so I didn't hold back like i usually do xD.

As for the shading going "up", I'm trying to experiment with it to see how else I can show how tall that mountain actually is. I don't want the players walking "behind" it so I'm trying to see what I can do to show it in 2d haha. And yeah, that field looks pretty bad when not connected haha. It's actually in a little valley, but yeah I might try to spruce it up haha.  Thanks for the feedback! Kibbelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkywardRiver Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018  Had time to start a cave map today. Something interesting to note is that when using the screenshot feature, lights are displaced. @Kibbelz @panda  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkywardRiver Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just now, Whitespirits said: @SkywardRiver are u on a new project now away from Life Forge?  I'm too busy with work and life to dedicate enough time to an active game like Life Forge at the moment. Currently Benjo and Zetasis along with some new blood are running Life Forge. If my current project ever comes to fruition, however, Life Forge Customers (peeps that have purchased items on Life Forge) will be rewarded for their purchases in the new game as well. (Though Life Forge is and will continue to remain updated, playable, and expanded upon) SolidLink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkywardRiver Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Another map nearly finished for today. Still not sure how to properly show the depth/height of the cliffside, so for now I'm still using "false shadows" Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
