ALRIGHT! And so it begins... Let's see some tiles for Brian's Iceworld... I wanna see:

I'll be making a whole set of probably around 7-10 tiles. ~ JJ EDIT: Altered the tiles a bit and added the endcaps.

I like these tiles, but think that the colors are too deep and not "icy" enough. JJMaxx does great work so it will end up great.

I like the icier one best. I say yay to that. Yeah. On a slightly different note: will the player be constantly sliding in this level? I'd love to see PJ runs his legs off trying to escape a giant penguin but not going anywhere. |

Well, if we go with this type of 'sheeted' tile, I'm gonna have to make an extra tile to add underneth these tiles when they are in the air.
Like this: 
Not sure how kwigbo could work it, but the top tile would be solid, and the bottom tile would be non-solid, foreground tiles, so when PJ jumps up into them, he'll go behind them and bump his head on the first tile. ~ JJ |

Thanks blink. I didn't like how textured the top layer of snow was on those tiles so I smoothed it out and I think it looks better.

Yes they are... But I blame the medium. JJ... I am profoundly amazed are your Ice tiles. I have to ask what brought you to that design? I sat and thought about Ice Tile designs, but I couldn't even figure out where to start. Did you use a reference? Had you seen something like this before...? I gotta know... ------------- www.randomblink.com I am me... no! Really! |

I really just used the pictures in my head to design them. Started with the frozen ground, then added the snow and icicles. (And you can see the trial and error in this thread.)
But I've always been partial to snow and ice. I made alot of ice peices for my Maxx Bloxx project.

I have to say I like the brighter blue better. Maybe find a happy medium between the two. The other blue just feels colder to me.

JJ-Maxx... "Never good enough for you, is it Jalonso? " Your stuff is always awesome! On topic, if you tried somewhere between the second and third I would think it a better direction because, the first two and the previous versions lean too heavily to the blue. I do think it should be a blue pallete, but an icy/minty blue. Keep in mind that there is Shark's world were blue will surely dominate (two blue worlds  . ------------- |

Good point about the blue, Jalonso. I would like somewhere between 2 and 3 aswell. Also keep in mind how the mountainous background will affect the world's look. ------------- Listen to what the flower people say...

2/3 combination. i also think a red orange sunset bg that was
mentioned will look uber cool :D Sharks Ocean world will be highly blue, however i was thinking the tiles will be sand coloured and only bg will be blue. they will look totally different if these tiles tend towards number 2&3 with the greys and desaturated blues. ------------- Snark, we love yuu. |

I don't konw about adding adding orange or any other "warm" color to this world (except for highlights).

idisagree. adding a sunlight background over the ice caps.. clear sky with no clouds.. andit reflecting of the cie is a good way toshow. 1. how slippery the cie is and 2. how cold it is. *clear skies* i think pjs should breath steam :D |

I'm picking the middle one, it's the most atmospheric and will add to the tention when the player finds out he's fighting killer penguins in friggin' tanks. And seeing as Shark's level has him swimming with snorkles, i think having PJ with a coat and icy breath would be awesome. He could maybe have a blue hue to him, and icicles on his teeth. Oh wait, i'm getting carried away. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

By the way, these tiles I made belong to the project, so the regular rules and guidelines don't apply. Feel free to take them and edit them, fix them, re-color them but FOR THE PJ GAME ONLY.
I would also like to see some other people start slapping some stuff up here as well. C'mon, they're only tiles. 90% of the members on here are better than me! ~ JJ |

Sharks world is alot more colourful and non-blue than originally thought, so i think this world should be scarily blue and white. For example, have the sun a huge pale disk, because i think, although orange would look nice, it would ruin the cold theme. If it was done well enough (which im sure it will) it could look fantastic. And randomblink, dya mean like goombas? Would they pop!? Aaah, i must hold myself back from making little cute popping penguins... ------------- http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

For the ice level, some serious sliding would be fun? .. That requires couple of special tiles. And here's the template for it. It contains about 10 different tiles, but don't think about the tiles, just draw on the template however you like..

WOah woah woah. I think the overdetailing in the not-so-important areas of the tiles distracts from the image as a whole. I much prefered the earlier ones because they seemed calm and not overdone. Obviously they could do with some more detail, and perhaps some hints of rock shapes in the side. But i think what you've done lately to it is a tad too much. Loving the hearts though. ------------- http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

myself, i dont find it too busy, however i can see how it might be that way for someone else... but i love how you did these, maybe they can be saved? maybe if you take away some of the contrast? i also just noticed you have a vertical line going on, if you look at the right end pieces, you can see when put together, they create a noticable line. ------------- There's a pubic hair on my keyboard.

yeah, see it too now that you mention it. As for the overdetailing, do you think it might be because the rocks are too concentrated together? What if they were larger and not so jumbled? I'll try and get some happy medium tiles going on sometime today. ------------- |

I agree with Larwick as well. As i first saw that screenshot sample, my eyes went to the awesomely done ice tiles :P
Which is good in a way, and bad in another. Dopplegangers' tiles are something simple you can rest your eyes on. edit: the icicles over the blue rocks stick out too much.. I say take off the black outline under them, and maybe the drop shadow too. |

Mhm, no jpegs. Also, this is in the wrong section, seeing as what you've added is a sprite, it should be in the sprite thread. Nice lineart, but it could use some form (shading etc) because right now it looks quite flat. Perhaps in-keeping with the style would need you to make all the outlines black aswel (with some light selout/aa here and there, i guess). And yeah dude, there are plently of younger pixellers here, and i only use MSPaint, and i find it fine. Of course, it's not the best, but it's still useable. ------------- http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">
