Me and my team are ressurecting an old idea we had a while back, an mmo*winces*rpg, based in a sorta sci-fi egyptian world.

Heres a screenshot, containing basically all of the graphics I've done for it so far (I've only been working on it about 5 days).

Lemme know what you all think

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------

In this one you can see the player in the bottom left-hand corner. The pyramid is actually a hologram, it shimmers every so often during gameplay, and is powered by the two obelisk-type things. This area isn't finished yet, and I still need to start on the HUDs.

*Pillowshade Alert!* WWEEEEOOOOOO WWWEEEEEOOOOOO

gimme golden sands, palm trees camels, and yes lose the pillow and
give me saturation baby.

well if thats the theme of the game, then i does look grim.  But the colors just seem boring.  I mean, check this out http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124& ;PN=1&TPN=3 (scroll down to the mockup)

The colors are dark and 'post apocalyptic' but they're fun to look at, your egypt is kinda bland... add more contrast, perhaps, if you wanna stick with the desaturated colors, because i couldnt even see that the bricks were shaded until i clicked on it 3 times.

First one looks better.

Wow, that looks pretty cool, I like the shading on the bricks, I might try that

Well i usually use a pretty varied pallette, but this time i wanted to keep it all uniform... i guess I took it a bit too far, lol

As for high saturation, this aint pokemon! I truly think that that colour of white used in the edit by shark has no place in the thesis we call sanity. Ill experiment with the dark red colour of ur entrails on my spoon as I rip out your heart with it. The buildings are about as boring as ur personality if u dont like this. And no one has commented on the character. Is it because hes egyptian and you find the historically acurate rendition of an egyptian slave offending? Apart from that i agree with all f the comments made so far 

WTF.

I would have said: 'Perhaps try a more reddish hue' but hey, whatever floats your boat.

yeah, it kind of looks like everything is lying flat on the sand.

Examine other games/setups/perspectives and try to draw from that.

I'd give him points for being creative about it...

but yeah, in general, it seems very flat, when I seen it in the gallery I expected it as a backdrop or something for a 2D scroller. the added contrast gives it some pop, but it's still way out of perspective, you seem to be doing sprites front-on instead of at the angle you want them displayed at.

Made an attack animation for the main character ==>

 

Edit: Gar, doesn't loop, I'll post at top and I guess you'll have to referesh...

heh, cool, I saw that the other week, the perspective is the same as I'm gonna use for my buildings, although its proving tricky to use on the pyramid...

The skull is looking good, I like the total feel of it.
THe one thing about the skull is it looks flipped.
Both sides of the skull shouldn't be the EXACT same.

Maybe add some random details on the skull to give it the feel it's not flipped.
Maybes some scratches or bumps.

Oh, and the skull looks fat compaired to it's hieght.

Now that - that is cool. I really like it. As long as the colours are kept the same throughout- that'll be great. The background behind the Skull is just superb.

it seems a little bland and boring, its good shading, just not lively
enough IMO.

Thanks Bifur, I had a quick go at the pyramid from the angle that you suggested, it went wrong but I can see where I made the mistakes, and I'll fix it. :D

Im going away for a while tomorrow, and right now I'm really just trying to get as many sprites done as possible so as the game can be programmed whilst I'm away... I guess the pyramid will just have to wait until I get back...

Ah, I see, thanks :)
