perikles184 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Work in progress._I know! I know! It has the Bleeding cowboys font. I am going to stop using it when I can be bothered to change everything I've done with it :P_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keebler Elf Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 It is a nice map. But i am not a fan of random blood spots or any other design that covers a map and takes away from the actual idea of seeing the whole world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perikles184 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Thanks. The whole point of the blood is because… My game will be a violent, dark game, and I want everything in it to build that atmosphere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perikles184 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Oh, and does anyone know how to bind the 'm' key into opening a new world map window? I am learning VB and this would be really helpful! Thanks :azn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Font is very cliche, but the map rendering may be a source edit. Unless there is a blit function in sad script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i am not a fan of random blood spots or any other design that covers a map and takes away from the actual idea of seeing the whole world.I love darker spots though, like what you get when you spill coffee or something similar, but I also like those old-looking borders. The blood doesn't look it is dry though, it still looks fresh. I wonder if this was the intention or not?Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlord Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 @Apocalypse:> i think it was, it does look quite fresh.I once had a blood nose and all the blood dripped over a paper, so somehow I know the difference. Why I did that is still a question for me.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlord Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 @Empress:> doesnt blood dry offly quick?Depends if it is spread around or not. If so, then yes. If not then it might take hours before it dries. It's just like water steaming up.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perikles184 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I doubt it would take hours, unless the blood was really bad at clotting. I am glad some of you like it, it took too long for this kind of result.The blood, is kind of supposed to look fresh, but I think in the final map it will be dried and crinkly dark. Thanks for all the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the feedback.It's a fact actually. It depends on the quantity, the temperature and how it is distributed, like every liquid actually.Regards, Godlord.

balliztik1 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 First of all, I'd like to comment that it actually does look like a map. It's not too boxish and straight or too jagged. It does look like it could be a realistic land mass.The blood, though, does look a bit off, for two reasons, I believe. Firstly, it's a different color than the font. It's likely due to the fact that there's opacity on the graphical one, where it's solid on the font. Makes them look like two separate entities (which they are, but you don't want it to look that way). Secondly, it's dark colored, like it's wet, but flat, like it's dry. Its appearance is of a stain, but is colored wrong to be so. It doesn't look liquid, but it doesn't look dry. It's kind of floating in the middle.

Guest Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 And there are blood splatters because? I'm sorry but it just doesn't flow with the map. Especially since there is no AA on the blood. The outer stroke (or drop shadow) on the land is making the image feel seperated. Another flow issue. I would just take out the blood (or set it to overlay or vivid light at a low opacity) and put a really low opacity drop shadow on the land.

Dark Crusade Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Blood looks very off and fake. Would look way better without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'drop shadow' is actually the coastline, which I haven't finished yet, and the layer style of the blood is already said to vivid light.And to all, I did say it was W.I.P ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
