Island Jungle

[Deathcom3s]

After going through and removing all those ugly looking sunken ruins trees, and replacing them, i'm done with the small island, hopefull i'll never have to go back and fix any more things. how does it look now?



Current doodad count:7367

 

[Oziris]

It is great i like it the best picture is 2 the worst is 1.The picture one is emty ...and take screens in the jungle not above the jungle

 

[Deathcom3s]

k thnx, the view in screenie1 has some unfinished parts in it.

 

[Gilles]

Looks pretty good! Maybe a different fog. Try changing it, see what you get.

I don't like the last one. There are two pointy hills, smooth them at the top. You can leave the other pointy hill, it actually looks okay.

 

[Deathcom3s]

any suggestions about what color fog should be?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

You should use much more doodads/trees.Looks good though.

 

[Deathcom3s]

more??? You can't really see too many of them because of the screenies but I have over 1800 doodads in just that small area in the screenies. Thnx for the advice tho.

 

[Gilles]

Yellow, white, different blue, I don't know. Just try things and see if they look good. Sometimes you get weird colors you never would have though of using, that actually look good.

 

[Deathcom3s]

k, i'll post some new screenies with diff colors and see how it looks

anyone else have an idea that i could use on this map?

 

[~Void~]

I like the mountain. A lot. The rest is kinda bad, the forest is nice but it just cuts off and the shrooms are too big

 

[Deathcom3s]

k thnx for the comment on the mountain. I'll work on the transition from the forest to beach tomorrow, i'm too tired to do that tonight.

Here are some screenies of the terrain after the feedback u gave. The jungle no longer just cuts off and i smoothed out that other mountain.

 

[seruk]

Not very nice shots those last, but the terrain is neat. Reminds me of Donkey Kong. Is it for shit and giggles or for a project of some sort?

 

[Deathcom3s]

neither, i'm kinda messing around

 

[seruk]

neither, i'm kinda messing around

Shit and giggles then.

 

[Deathcom3s]

hmmm, should I change it to a playable map or just keep it as practice terrain?

 

[seruk]

hmmm, should I change it to a playable map or just keep it as practice terrain?

imo it would be very neat to play that. If you make something third person view would be terrific to show off all the neatness.
ed: neat.

 

[Deathcom3s]

Well then it's my current and my first project

 

[seruk]

Well then it's my current and my first project

Awesome, keep us updated.

 

[Deathcom3s]

I will and will you add to my rep?

 

[seruk]

I will and will you add to my rep?

Oh yeah, knew I forgot something. rep'd

 

[Gilles]

certainly.. when you get more done.

 

[Deathcom3s]

i'm working on it right now, i'll probably post the next update on monday.

should I make it an RPG or some kind of survival map?

 

[seruk]

should I make it an RPG or some kind of survival map?

A third person survival map would be so cool. But maybe that's just me.

 

[Deathcom3s]

i'll make it a survival map. I've always wanted to make one. next screenie update tomorrow!lol thnx dr super good i was just deleting the double posts when you did that.

 

[Naze]

Yeah, as Gilles said at the 1st page, the fog don't fix well with the terrain.

Another thing: You could use a better tile variation. I mean, more rough dirt, more grass. Your sand tile variation is good.

Don't forget about the birds! Add birds everywhere, it will give more life to your forest. and crabs at the shores will look good, though.

 

[Deathcom3s]

There's plenty of rough grass etc... trees just hide it I'll add birds and animals tomorrow for updated screenies, i didn't add them because i've been trying to finish the basic stuff in it like bushes and trees and such.

 

[Naze]

No, the grassy dirt is OK, I mean that there is no rough dirt. I only saw the rough dirt at the river, wich was very well fixed. And you forgot to cover all the mountain with rough dirt.

 

[Deathcom3s]

ok i'll fix that too, thnx for the help. I'd give ya a rep if i could.

 

[Naze]

Don't worry about the rep.

You'll see that the finished work is going to give you some yummy rep points ;D

 

[Deathcom3s]

hmmm, think i'm finished with that little island part( i think it looks good after the feedback you guys gave me ) i'll post those tomorrow. However, i think i'll add a second bigger island where the majority of the gameplay will take place (the smaller island will still be used and will hold some yummy little secrets that will be worth your while to find out ) and i'll make it so that the two can be accesible by fairly easy methods, not quite sure how though probably by some kind of boat.

 

[Naze]

Good. I think you could make the beach area larger. It is good, but I think it could be better.

Don't forget to make the principal island with a good pathing , because I noticed that the small island is full of trees, and don't have many paths through the forest.

 

[Deathcom3s]

i uploaded the new screenies for the map. look at them!

 

[seruk]

Looking great as always, deathcom.

 

[Deathcom3s]

thnx seruk, i try my best hmm strange, the posts keep disappearing then reappearing...

 

[Gilles]

Not liking the lack of sky. Nor the tiles used. Add some grass in, vines too. It looks weird all brown IMO.

 

[Deathcom3s]

What is wrong with the posts! they keep disappearing!ok, i'll add some vines, there's green, trees hide most of it and a lot of the shots show beaches, beaches don't have grass...

 

[Sephiroth74]

This reminds me of survivor, I think some sort of survival map would be great on this.

Mostly because, I was looking at the second screenie, and I thought, something should really be there.....

 

[Deathcom3s]

it is a survival map, well, going to be lol. second screenie is empty for a reason...room for a camp perhaps? Time to start on the primary island.

 

[Naze]

Looks pretty better!

But... what is that thing at the last screen supposed to be?
Anyways, completely cover it with the rock tile.

How's the doodad limit going?

 

[Deathcom3s]

hmmm doodads: currently 8807 Hasn't gone up much since i've just been making the basic layout for the primary island. Think i'm going to put a volcano in the middle of the primary island, not 100% sure if i should thougg.Thnx for the rep!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

They look very good!Good job dude!

 

[Deathcom3s]

Due to problems with school, i will not be able to work on the project. I am NOT throwing it away! i just won't be able to update it very much for a few weeks.

 

[Koopa124]

Verry verry nice, only suggestion, tint the water more white, its too blue,

 

[Deathcom3s]

i think the water is perfect for the island theme, the color is almost the same shade of blue as the pacific ocean arond the hawaiin islands, Thnx for the feedback anyway, i value all feedback except flaming and spamming.

 

[seruk]

Aw sucks. Well well, at least you're not quiting. Kudos for that.

 

[Deathcom3s]

well, i'm getting a new computer so the project is back up and running! i'll post new screenies as soon as possible!

 

[Oziris]

Wow nice job it can be bether try adding a fog and rain it would look bether that way.

 

[Deathcom3s]

ok, ill add rain to the screenies, just to see how it looks, and see what your opinion is on it.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Make it heavy rain it suits perfectly to these kind of terrains.

 

[Deathcom3s]

ok,i'll be sure to do that
