Pixel Joint Forum: Atmosphere in these levels

Message

   Warcraft 3 just came to my mind and i remembered how beautiful i found the maps and the whole graphical design in the game and in these maps.

there is a lot of atmosphere which is very comfortable for the player and even then is not uncomfortable/negative when "ugly" places are showed.

WHAT are reasons why the atmosphere is so good and deep but not uncomfortable?

what makes them this special? are it the colours or maybe the toony design?

please PJ, i want to hear your opinions.

This is dark and reminds me of the night but is very comfortable when looking at it..

this is kinda chill-out-picture... but yeah the black up there is not that chilling maybe tho..

this is somewhat COMFY am i right?..

this is just beautiful!

so WHAT makes them this nice? can you provide me with tips about how to create such positive, chilling, comfy atmosphere please?

	I never liked any warcraft 3 atmospheres. But I do like your topic. The last one pleases me the most because of the saturated colors, the light blue, the fire litterally gives some warmth to the piece (imagine it without and you will see) and there is not an overdose of black.
