So anyway, i had an idea for a game where you control a plane and fight enemies and you have to collect fuel to keep gooing for as long as you can.

Thanks a bunch, the ones on the right were a real help with the vents.

Looks better. Although, while doing the details, don't forget about the shape of what you're making too. For example, the plane's mid-sections is too narrow and too small compared to the rest of it. The tail wing is also too big. Look closely at the drawing and you'll see that the parts have a relationship to each other.

Also, the dithering works to an extent, but you can also add other colors, Right now it looks you have one purple, black and white. Try adding some red-violet or blue-violet in there, or make it more the color of a plane, like a gray-blue (desaturation).

Definite improvement though, keep working on it.

Sorry for the double post but i'm really struggling with the curve of the hud, and indeed the hud in general, aswell as ideas

Sorry to post and run, but some of the far wing should be seen from that perspective.

Also, the banded way you've shaded the plane (Lightest purple on top right next to black = jaggedness) makes it look flat; like a coin.

I like the spaceship glass, but beware overdithering because it can give a graininess that you don't want with such a smooth material.

Just showing how it would look without dithering, and added some hue shifting.

Aside from the shading being wrong ( i made it the wrong way round, damnit!) can help me improve my new alien ship.

Ta manupix, good call with lightening the back rocks.

i see what you mean, but its not that noticeable scrolling and im against adding ANOTHER purple, i already added one for the highlights on the rock. Any powerup ideas/thoughts about what sould be on the hud?

Edit; anyone have any experience of animating a jet flame?

I think the last rock on the right needs to be a bit higher, but not as high as the first from the left.

hay, nice work on the title, but to me it looks a little unfinished. some cleaner lines would do it some good. i made an edit to show what i'm talking about. I hope you like it:



things i changed:
1 all letters which went below the bottom of the line were cut off.
2 shrank the X as it seemed too thick (judgement based on other letters)
3 modified the back lines to be square rather than slanted
4 modified the O to accommodate the R

tried to make it look like scratches. dont know if i succeeded. at any rate, the browny grey is a better background colour

that is one excellent edit onek! You've absolutly got that super cool 90 arcade style down...

k, so heres the deal, im really running low on entusiasm for this project atm, probably i dindnt think about it enough before i started, so im gonna take a break, although i will quite probably ressurectificate this at some point. Adios, peps!
