AdrianC Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Um. not bad, but, the water… doesn't really look like water. Kinda looks like blue feathers or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 sorry cant appreciate it, you put to much pressure on your self and you have a high reputation which u are not living up to. i hope your final water is alot better, i dont even know why u have that much water on grass anyway, doesnt make sense, unless i am rong.

Bobosk Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm sure if the water was animated/shadowed it'd look alot better.. I can't say for sure though.I also think, that you may want to add a bit of an "Edge" cause…. water wouldn't do that, unless there was a small "chasm".

Slaze Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 yeah you should add an edge, like a small stone wall or something similar, although you did say you are adding a rough edge so.. yeah nvm XD, but the water looks ok. it teselates a bit weird in some ares though.

Sean23 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 this is one of its still movements, the river itself is still a experiment none the less, im still going to live up to my reputation..the wind mill moves on animation, including a sparkle effect to the river. all screenshots shown for arcadia are strickly unfinished for a reason, final previews will be offered in july during closed testing.

Anna Comnena Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I dunno, I like it. I think it looks nice, it seems natural, and has good color balance. Nice use of the tilesets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I of course like the look as well. I think maybe the big issue is that most of us are used to some type of physical bank or border with the water. I use those tiles sometimes with a bank I created to give it a more realistic effect and sort of blends the water to the land better visually. My swap does what you have going on above becouse it makes it look like the water hardly has any edge with the land and for a swamp that works. But regardless of what anyone says if that's the way you want it to look for your game then stick with it. I think your world is coming along nicely. Keep building it. As you create more and develop more you will have to spend less time trying to please others and more time pleasing yourself. I think it looks really cool, keep going!

gaming ace Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well, I really like these Reiner's Tiles, so I'm a fan of this map. As Anna mentioned, I like the feel, and it gives the game some originality and a unique feel. As for the water, its alright…I like everything else. It could be much better if you added some sort of transition from the grass into the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean23 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 im actually working on a new fix to those grass particles so they have a more blend to water effect, and will be updating this post soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I agree with the issues on the water, and also think that the majority of the shadows look unrealistic as well. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Comnena Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Looks alot better now. Only thing is where that one knob of land points down, the creek is very narrow at that point, why not have the bank curve on the south bank as well, instead of that straight line behind the treeline?

AdrianC Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Better now, its just too narrow in certain areas, but that's an easy fix. 8/10 8.5/10 after you fix the river a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Aw man, sorry to have to say this but I think it looks terrible-First of all, the water has no opacity, you cannot see the land slowly fade out in the water; if that makes any sense/Second, the river's edges look torn out, edges look very unrealistic.And, overall river shape, and water animation looks unrealistic,2/10 sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Some tileset styles don't have to have opacity in the water. That is fine too.Tiles are not maps. As long as tilesets are consistant (like if the water would suddenly be opaque in areas, that would be bad), everything is fine. Tiles do not have to look the way you think they need to look.

Sean23 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 this game isnt suppose to be dead on with its graphics, its not suppose to be superior, your not going to be standing on this map very long, your constantly moving about to different areas depending on what your doing, small details are there but the ones that are hard to catch by eye wont be there for the reason being its just to hard to create, you got to remember these are tiles are designed from a 3d modeler, and when you put that into a consistent contineous patterned game with tiles it makes features very hard to conduct.
