Guest Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 EDIT: Overhauled buildings and overall style!…I decided to try something new and went for a retro look. Never tried it before, but I think it turned out well. Think of original ninja gaiden. What do you think?EDIT:@AmSamurai:> Think of original ninja gaiden.Well actually, even earlier than that. I used the style of this game as a reference…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUqwK_-jSuA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The roof looks a little awkward to me. I don't know what it is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Either it's squashed or you're going for the slightly off perspective which Andi has made popular.If it's the former than it just looks stupid.If it's the latter then you need to make the roof the same damn perspective, you can't just have it seen from the front.

aaaron Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It looks like a big cylinder crushed it and the roof is the shape of a cylinder… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitinhooxD Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think the roof perspective doesnt match the house.Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted.

The game is basically 2.5d. I took 2.5d and tried to make it flat (for side-scrolling). I guess I forgot to mention that. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's a side-scroller doesn't mean it needs to be flat.The lower-half of the house is done in one perspective and the roof is done in another. Pick one and stick with it.

Guest Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Okie dokie. Besides that, anything else I should work on? Hows my attempt at coloring, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toranos Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 If there was that type of perspective (EDIT: Alright, just saw how the house was supposed to look, was looking at it the wrong way. It's still awkward though :x), the lighting wouldn't be exactly the same across the roof, kind throws it off, also, buildings don't inherit that much lighting, use it on corners, edges, etc. It's all quite.. awkward.The roof is keeping the same pattern as the house, ever so slightly changing perspective, but it's progressive..Despite it being a Japanese style house, or needing to be flat, the roof just doesn't suit the style you've done for the house, and I'd say stick with the house, not the roof.Also, in terms of color, don't use black lines, and like people keep yelling at each other, use hue shifting. So change the entire colors slightly when pixelling, Not keeping in the same shade range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusy Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 2.5d, because it sounds more dignified thand plain old flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Doesn't matter how many times you copy & paste the building on top of itself, you still need to take the time out to re-do the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdoc Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The perspective is off. It looks funny. The reason is simple. You're trying to make a house suitable for a side-scroller by borrowing the style from a game which is more of a top-down view. The house looks like it's caving in on itself. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Think it would look alot better if the first half just continued with walls instead of a duplicate. Make the building taller and just add the windows the second part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Comnena Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah they look good, the only thing I don't like is the sides of the buildings are too straight. I'd imagine a roof lip or something over the side. Also you shouldn't have a dark outline on any object where it touches the ground; only where the object is depicted against the sky, for side-scroller perspective.
