Two different headers for a game being made. I'm working alongside resident artist Doppleganger, so the graphics should, I hope, be top quality! :)

The game is called Battalion and is currently in a beta stage. You can find it at Urbansquall.com where it has a direct link to the beta.

65 colours for the victory header and more for the defeat header. I was in a big rush at the time, so I don't spend my time worrying about the colour count.

Enjoy :)

Good to know it's been put in.  Expect some unit attack animations soon!


Ails (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 9/16/2009 9:47:30 AM

I saw that on the game today :D at kongregate ^^


IQbrew (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/22/2009 12:44:08 PM

Oh yes, I saw the victory one, of course.


IQbrew (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/22/2009 12:42:54 PM

Was so surprised when I saw this in a game I was playing.

I knew this was yours when just looking at that preview.
Awesome as per usaull!


ilomoonkay (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/19/2009 8:25:21 PM

 i felt kinda sad when ever it turned. very cool. poor pixel town.


SHANN0N (Level 3 Private Eye) at 8/18/2009 11:28:05 PM

This is fantastic! I like the light one best for some reason. I dont really think you need the dithering on the hills though- nothing else besides a small spot of grass looks dithered to me and so it seems a bit out of place


x-death (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 8/18/2009 7:24:03 PM

i like the orange one the most i think. great peice!

Selective Outlining:
 
Helm, a respected pixel artist, defines selective outlining (aka SelOut) as "...darkening the contours of a shape towards a middle shade so it'll read well on any sort of background." This technique is generally frowned upon due to the fact that many of those that try to use this technique simply antialias their outlines to black. The ridicule that followed put a negative stigma on the term and it has retained that negativity, although "SelOut" emphasizes it more. 
 
i.e the darker pixels on your tanks and your hills (on the lighter) make it look jagged, aaing the lines rather than selouting them would be better.

very nice pixel art, 5/5


TheInquisitor (Level 2 Kukyu) at 8/17/2009 1:04:21 AM

Yep. :) Bit silly, I know, but it gets the point across. If you notice I put a few silhouettes of bombers on the right to make it seem less silly!


Adarias (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 8/16/2009 6:45:33 PM

What's he shooting at? it's like that one little tank just blew up the city with 1 shot :P.


TheInquisitor (Level 2 Kukyu) at 8/16/2009 2:07:55 PM

Thanks guys. I think all the criticism you guys have provided is fair game. I don't disagree with any of them, particularly that about the poppies not shrinking down. I could've done better with the distance and fading out the detail, but this is something I haven't perfected. Unfortunately those pesky time constraints made it very difficult for me to complete perfect it, but I'm happy with it as it is. :)

Sellout problems, Dex?


Stickman (Level 5 Detective) at 8/16/2009 1:36:12 PM

Lovely pic. The flowers don`t seem to scale with the tanks as they all look the same size (or was that intentional?)


Noet (Level 2 Quiet One) at 8/16/2009 12:27:53 PM

WAAAAAAAAR!!!!!111111111

awesome


benanderson (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/16/2009 10:55:33 AM

 Excellent work! I love it. :)


jamesmorrow07 (Level 2 Kukyu) at 8/16/2009 10:11:43 AM

Kickass bro! This is too good!


Levi (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/16/2009 10:07:38 AM

they are bth awesome.  My only criticism is that the darker one does not have enough contrast between the sky and the land, so it looks a bit flat.  Other than that, it's top-notch quality :)


Jinn (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 8/16/2009 9:32:28 AM

{ I love your color choice so hard...


Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 8/16/2009 9:11:27 AM

the darker one is muuuuch better, the first one has too many selout problems and some harsh pixels on the outer hills

it's good, though


Fool (Level 6 SWAT) at 8/16/2009 8:58:44 AM

Nice work=) Very moody. Fields on the back plane might loose some detailing to deep pic  it up, but it s awesome as is.=)


-DE- (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/16/2009 8:55:15 AM

Those tank cannons have a huuuge range.


Dr D (Level 2 Kukyu) at 8/16/2009 8:48:21 AM

Hot.

 


momo-the-pitt (Level 2 Quiet One) at 8/16/2009 7:40:33 AM

awesome!


Kylo (Level 1 Depressed) at 8/16/2009 5:27:17 AM

 hot stuff


Green_Hell (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 8/16/2009 5:15:42 AM

I love it.


Perkele (Level 2 Quiet One) at 8/16/2009 5:11:22 AM

Damn hot.


TheInquisitor (Level 2 Kukyu) at 8/16/2009 4:41:55 AM

I suppose I can put one on top of the other. I'll change that now. :)

Edit: Actually, I prefer them animating between one another. It highlights the differences between the two. I'll slow down the speed of it.


skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 8/16/2009 4:38:09 AM

Why not post them both side by side?

PS. This is awesome.


Jp Fox (Level 1 Intern) at 8/16/2009 4:14:12 AM

It looks very good!  I like the changes between the two different headers.
