Twin Suns

[Darkyvm]

A small orc outpost on a planet with two suns.

The hills look strange.

 

[syltman]

The ground's to flat and the fog should actually "swallow" the mountains for it to look like it's a part of the background.

Suns look strange.

1. It's flat!
2.The sky is messed up!
3.The hills are really ugly!
4.The sun is just....lol!
5.The spam of grass is the worst thing i ever seen!
6.Why are the mountains so blue and why are the mountains that are just litle closer not blue? The fog is messed up really bad, and you cant have a fog if the sun is right behind the mountain or what ever that is, you can only have ''shadow''

 

[ArcticInferno]

Oh now I see the corner of the skybox ;p

1. Not anymore.
2. I know, unfortunately I can't fix that, to get the correct angle I need to zoom out a bit, and it causes that
3. Agreed, that was a (failed) attempt to create distant mountains. Removed them.
4. Fixed the problem with the angle of the suns.
5. Much less grass now, also changed the trees because the old ones didn't fit the tileset well.
6. Removed the fog, really looks more natural now, thanks.

 

[fergrr]

didn't see anything wrong with it until Oziris pointed it out
i like i though

 

[Oziris]

New problems!
1. There is end of the world! add a background with nice hills!
2.You need a fog, but not a strong fog that was like before!

 

[TheBlooddancer]

No tile varition.

 

[Darkyvm]

Added some hills, fog and more tile variation, thanks everyone for the constructive comments.

 

[ArcticInferno]

You should add some shadows on the floor with the trees. Ground looks strangely bright with trees over them from that angle

 

[Oziris]

There is still end of the world, make the map bigger and add more hills, and make the fog closer! but make the back ground shallow fog.

One Tree looks like the other... Try to make different Tree colours

Example:

Before

After

 

[Darkyvm]

Changed the trees (again) and worked on the background a little more.
I also tried everything I could think of, but unfortunately still couldn't fix the problem with the sky.

 

[Oziris]

Move the suns behind the hills, and add some light effect at the sun, to make it more bright, like sun flare(make it 3size)-Cinematic

 

[wolfybecker]

doesnt look very orcish though looks like a prominent work in progress

More a matter of astronomical observation (pun intended) than anything else.

In binary star systems where two stars are that close together, one would orbit the other - thus one would always be smaller than the other except on the occasion that the planet passes between both - in that case you would only see one (or the other) since they would be on either side of the horizon, one east one west.

Most like 99.9% of the known binary star systems are composed of a large (red giant for instance) star and a small (white dwarf) star. Two equally sized stars rarely reach a point of stability to where they maintain their sizes/colors even a relative apparent size in relation to a planet bound observer within that system. One star would, in a close pair, 'suck up' or eat the other.

Thus either by a very real size difference between the two stars, or simply because to the observer on the planet one star is further than the other one of those suns needs to be smaller (perhaps even tinting a light blue, or other color to suggest different type stars).

Second observation of perspective. the lowest sun really looks to be in front of the background - ergo not really a star but some other light source.

I get the feel that the distant landscape is hills, yet the sun(s) are somehow in front of that landscape. Since you are using hills on either side, it is expected that there are hills where those 'suns' are.

Actually both the left and the right one appear to be in front of their hills. The left appears to be sitting on the hills, not rising or setting behind the hill.

Contrast and shadow. Non-existent in your image. By all rights we should only see black or near black trees directly in front of the sun(s). the overwhelming light should make color and texture of trees near impossible to see. So again we get the impression of light sources in the foreground, not rising/setting stars/suns.
Thus 'issues' with hills may not actually be that the hills themselves are bad, but that the suns do not 'feel' right in their placement against/behind said hills.
