Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 12-07-2008

hey was taking a shot at making some tiles. and ive gotten this so far. Im not so sure about the sides of the cliff. but i wasnt sure about how to make it look like it was diagonal anyway. Any suggestions?

you need more contrast


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 12-07-2008

the grass of the dirt part. If its the grass im not changin it cuz that is the style im goin for. But the dirt on the other hand is another matter...


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Robin - 12-07-2008

Don't just do lazy re-colours for new tiles. Water looks nothing like grass, so texture it to look different.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 12-07-2008

thats the problem though i just cant seem to texture water right Sad but im still working on it.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Labmonkey - 12-07-2008

seriously, you need some contrast. Your game looks (to me) like you are just using 1 color tiles.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 12-07-2008

huh? well i can see at least two shades of green brown and blue. but the grass and water isnt supposed to be that much contrast. thats the style i like to do.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Robin - 12-07-2008

Agreed. Even if you're going for the washed out look, that'll just look like block colour on some monitors.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 12-07-2008

mk taken into consideration, ill see what i can do.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - GIAKEN - 12-07-2008

Yeah you need to add shadows to the rocks or something because it looks really flat.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 12-07-2008

yes i know. flat was kinda the style i was goin for. but ill give it a try.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Labmonkey - 12-07-2008

Woot, I offered a suggestion and nobody cursed at me Big Grin.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Andrew - 12-07-2008

fuck you Labmonkey

What a shitty suggestion.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Labmonkey - 12-07-2008

Stop hijacking pbcrazies topic!

pb, do you plan to use those in a game?


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 12-07-2008

Thank you labmonkey

and ya i was thinking about using them in a game, or at least ones like them. Were you wanting to use them?


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Labmonkey - 13-07-2008

Just wondering, some people post things that they never use.

No offense, but they are pretty bad right now and aren't really usable.


Re: Pixeled Tiles - Pbcrazy - 13-07-2008

eh well i might use them and if i dont they were good practice.

and how do you know i didnt want them to look like that? :twisted:

Asking for pixeling advice here is like asking for programming advice at Elysium xD
