One of the  backgrounds I made for the AGS game engine. It's a big junker town and a pirate haven floating around in a large astroid field. The annoying pink is where a parallax space background will be put on.

This piece is incredibly hard to read. The palette should change depending on the distance away from the point of vision, so that the layers are instantly readable. You've relied on size to show depth, which is a bad idea. Some houses that logically would be loser are half the size of other houses that should logically be fursther away. The depth in your scene Space Bar is far better than in this piece. A quick recolour on layers could make this piece ten times better.

Well obviously. This is a gallery. You're DISPLAYING artwork to who knows how many people. Learn the art of presentation, my friend. It'll do you wonders.

the "annoying pink background" is a transparant colour in the game actually.  Thats where I'll put a moving parallax background on.

That is really nice, but it seems the background was rushed...

Yowser! The grandeur. What a great take on a futuristic society. Of course, what makes this peice great is it's worst enemy, too. It's own scope killed it. Happens all the time.

The 2nd yellow/black striped caution edges look out of place and unecessary. Go for handrails. Pink bg is annoying and distracting, just swap it for black.

sick pa! 5/5 fav needed!

 

only think that the left down "road" is out of perspective... but the perspective of the rest are perfect!

 

sorry for bad english

I love the perspective and layout on this so much!  And the fact that it  is a background for an AGS game makes me love it that much more.  All hail user friendly adventure game dev kits.

No references were used for this. It's my own design made entirely in MSpaint.

Hey there Mandarb, didn't know you had a account here aswell. I kind of stumbled across this site after seeing it in SpacePiratesCain's profile on AGS. And you're right, the colours I used are different but the way I've applied the details come from your suggestion :P. Glad you like it.

 As far as the game goes..  I'm a bit ashamed to admit that usually I lack the motivation to create these backgrounds. Sprites I don't mind, I can whip up a few in no time. But decent BG's are really time consuming, and I'm not really good at it.

I was going through my server the other day and found a WAY older version of this that I helped with some coloring on (forver ago)!!  Glad to see it posted! 

This is much improved and FAR more detailed than that version!

Now let us play the game!!
