retro sexual posted:Changed up the cards to have only their backgrounds in their colour. Don't be mad at me but would a more actually hand drawn look be better for the color? Like it was drawn in with colored pencil? It could still be small and tileable, maybe even used elsewhere.

retro sexual posted:Cheers for the suggestion, I think I agree with you. Do you mean instead of a flat fill, but only of the colour? So the colour should vary a bit and show some overlap lines, as if it had been done with a marker? That's exactly what I mean!  Cause the rest of the graphics have an awesome hand drawn look to them, but the colored bits don't match the style. If you want help I could try and make a nice seamless tileable hand drawn effect color swatch that you could palette swap for any color?

Start by making a super stripped down universe exploration game that's fun. Add the spaceship construction stuff later. I agree with this. Since this will technically be the most important part of the game (I assume at least), you'll want that to be actually fun first. Hell, just having a cube flying around a procedurally generated universe with random planets and solar systems would be a HUGE first milestone.

I'd opt to stay away from zbrush for a beginner. Mainly because its UI is so specialized and particular to zbrush (and ONLY zbrush) that it'll be hard to switch from it to a more standard 3d package. And since zbrush doesn't do everything, you will have to switch to a different package (3ds max, lightwave, maya, etc.) to actually get your art into a game environment. As far as I'm concerned, zbrush is only for high poly sculpture. So if you want to learn that, great, go for it, use zbrush. However if you want a more balanced, and more importantly complete 3d package, go with an alternative above. disclaimer: I really hate zbrush  edit: and also I can't draw for poo poo but can still do reasonably decent 3d stuff. So you don't necessarily need 2d drawing or painting skills to learn 3d.

I think the frames are nice but they need a few clipped on the down swing to give the illusion of faster downward flap, like this: On frame 5, I'd have a new frame drawn as a tween between 4 and 6, sort of a "wing resting/relaxed before next flap" thing. Sorry I also tweaked the color a bit.

shimmy posted:Hello world Something I'd like to see (if this is based on a Star Trek aesthetic?) is something more streamlined in the 'rooms', and the real meaty machinery technical stuff behind the wall in a sort of hidden engineering passage. The rooms look interesting, but they look a lot like empty rooms with some furniture put in. That'd be fine if this was an office building or something, but for a highly designed and no-wasted-space starship, it looks sort of odd. It should be either more wall panel type interactive displays, OR my previously suggested behind wall hidden (but still accessible) tech guts. Or you could try increasing the size of your tech bits. There's some larger things I see which is great, but the smaller ones let it all down. It makes huge wasted areas. Hope I'm not being too harsh.  It does look cool, but it needs a bit of design tweaking.edit: oh and something else you could do that a few games have done is assign room types to each room, and have corresponding wall texture and details that tie in and match the theme of the furnishings. edit 2: ok last thing, would curved or 45 degree angled walls be too much to ask?

KRILLIN IN THE NAME posted:Hello. Can I interest you in 5 counts of Skeleton Immunity I like it and it's really cute (as is the whole game), but I did a little tweak: Your version as it is:  My slightly tweaked version:  I added the shield swung effect right at the frame when the skele makes contact, so it's more of a baseball like feel with the shield connecting with the skele, rather than the original which looks like she's swinging the shield away after the skeles gone flying. I also added a couple frames of tweening for the shield 'stowed' and 'shield ready' states.

I doubt you'd find many good level designers who are fluent in UE4 and has knowledge of pacing and scripting and all that, as well as proficient in a modelling package and has an artistic eye for detail and modelling/texturing techniques. That's just my opinion though. I think, more typically, they work in tandem to create levels, cooperatively.

Omi no Kami posted:For those of you who do a lot of 3d modelling, do you find that 2d art skills are essential, or just extremely useful? I'm trying to build an animation and modelling curriculum for myself, and I'm waffling over whether or not investing the significant amount of time it would take to get basic drawing and figure sketching to a useful level would result in a serious improvement to my modelling, or if I should just say screw it, shun the visual, and focus on being a great programmer while relying on professional artists for guidance. It really depends. On stylized 3d stuff, texture maps usually end up looking like paintings (look at WoW, LoL, or other heavy style games). So in those cases, having painting/drawing skills is very helpful. However on more realistic art, like CoD or Battlefield, there's little to no actual painting involved, in fact there are a number of programs that were developed to do most of the texturing work for the artist (Ddo, Substance Painter/Designer, etc.) Drawing also comes in handy in the pre-vis stage when you're making sketches of character concepts. With a great concept, the sculpting work comes a lot easier because you have a good idea of what it should look like. Figure drawing itself is also good for studying human form, something which a lot of your 3d models will probably incorporate one way or another. However, saying all of that, in a good team of developers, there's usually no need for any one person to be able to handle a lot of different aspects of art production. Basically there aren't many jack-of-all-trades, a lot of developers specialize in particular areas and excel in them, rather than being barely adequate in all different techniques. Hope that helps.

While everyone's advice regarding Pig's character is legit, I think the biggest worst problem is there seems to be a frame missing where he brings his left leg forward. As it is now, the leg, after he lifts his foot off from behind him, teleports to the front of him for the next step. If there was a single frame in between with a better transition for the leg's movement, I think it would clarify a lot of the problems. Basically you're missing the middle of the walk cycle. You've got the first third (foot raised up, makes contact with ground, begins to take all the weight), and the last third (shifts weight off back foot, foot leaves ground, knee bends), but no middle (knee continues swing around, lower leg kicks out to form a straight line with upper leg, foot is angled ready to make contact with ground). So if you do redraw the sprite with all the above advice, don't forget to add the middle step for the legs.

Shalinor posted:No. I told a funny story about how dick detection is expensive, and then the press spun a closure story from whole cloth, loosely themed around my tweets. I'm surprised there's a story at all really, considering you could only build on your private lot, and it was invitation only as far as I can recall. It wasn't like Second Life where dongs were flying all over the skies or something, you had to go to someones home (with their permission) and look around to see *any* custom builds of any kind. Frankly I'm surprised there was that much resources spent on something like that, considering the minuscule area of the game that had the opportunity for such shenanigans. Surely some sort of legal agreement at first subscription/log-in would have sorted everything out (LEGO is not liable for any and all privately created works on player's plots, etc.).

Atarask posted:So as a little update on the space strategy game I'm working on, Lord of Rigel. Here's some pics of our aquatic species the Selach and how they're coming along. This didn't get enough love; I think it looks awesome. I really like the water dome areas, very cool stuff. Only worry I have is the fish race itself, trout don't look too intelligent to me. They should be more cetacean; dolphins or whales or something, but maybe that's just me.  Nition posted:Funny thing is that chunky low-res screenshot actually looks better to me in some ways than a high-res version: I always thought that was because low-res sort of hides the lack of polygon fidelity, and lets you use your imagination to fill in the gaps. In the second screenshot you can clearly see the polys of the weapon, the poor texture, etc. But in the first one it *could* be a really nice gun, albeit a low-res one.
