New Picture by TIY! (Biomes)

Kinda this. The first and second pic looks extremely clusterfucked.
Colors doesn't seem to blend well yet.
Third pic is by far my favorite, and I love the forth's background.

But since this is probably far from the polished graphics they aim to archive, those are pretty sweet!

 

Dat cursor. o.o

 

Sweet! Glad to see this. Now, to answer your questions. I understand that the backgrounds are placeholders for two of the images. The sky and the distant background could use 'meshing' together a tad better. Its hard to explain what I mean. Some of the objects are startling and stand out immensely compared to the rest of the background. Or they feel 'floaty' like they arent actualy there. (See the dirt mountaintop in image 2. See the bone serpent in image 3.) The serpent could just use some sort of distance fading. See the hills it seems to sit behind? It is also hard to tell if its 'behind' those hills or in front as some of it looks behind, some of it is in front. It looks confused where it wants to be . Also with the hills, they are a lighter color and look 'distanced' due to the atmosphere. The bones stand 'forward' instead of falling into the background. The craters in image 1 also look to be suffering from this same effect. I am by no means a pixel artist so I am unsure how to accomplish any of this. So I am just saying what I see :>

This said, the backgrounds are still wonderful.

They are quite varied between eachother as well! (excluding the background trees in a few images. But thats a big WiP).

Thank you for sharing! I eagerly await more to try and disect!

 

Hmm.. I re-readed Tiy's post so I like this idea even more
So far as we have several variants of each biome, I'd like to see following:

• Forest: 'normal', arid, snowy (tayga), jungle, mutated/radioactive, tentacle/carnivorous, alien (IDK), burnt, mechanical, 'undersized trees', many others;
• Plains: steppe/savanna, meadows, rocks, sands (of all colors), tundra, lava fields, wastelands, pure metal, anything;
• "Ocean": water, swampy ("Sloshean"), acid, lava, oil, strange purple liquid, multicolored balls
• Ruins of The Precursors: in jungle, sand-buried, snow-covered, sunken, radiation wasted, etc.

It's just a tip of iseberg....but I'm tired

 

lol yeah, but they got a few weird lookin trees and then a lush forest of pines behind them, i should have continued on to say that the background trees should either show more diversity in species or have it match the actual planet's trees

 

The pictures they they bring my video game side to tears at the epicness. I love the pictures the look great and the are varied as well as fitting. The mouse cursor also looks good.

 

Can't wait to see your analysis video.

 

The pines are currently placeholder, since they didnt have time to make an good one yet. Once game is released, they will make better background trees.

 

There might be a foreground layer, the first background layer, and then a second background layer.
For example, I think the serpent is actually aligned with brown hills it is on top of/around which both make up the second background, but behind the blueish hills which are the first background layer.

Also, I don't know if you read the original post by Tiy, but the background trees aren't varied because they are place holders and as you said, are a WiP. The 3rd picture is what it is supposed to end up like

 

Uploading right now!
IT'S UP!

 

I love the last two the most, the purple one and the more earth like one

 

Yeah that sounds cool.

 

As far as looks go this is just excellent... but... it's nothing really eh.. amazing. The background is absolutely spectacular, except for the sky and maybe some more plants and stuff (I am aware they are adding plants) but the foreground is my problem. As far as trees go, they're good, but for what's in the picture initially, it's pretty bland to be honest. Like I said I like the background... but you can't really do anything with the background from what I'm guessing. There could be more... I don't know plants or minerals or even different colored stone or something. I know it's just showing biomes, but they could be a bit more exotic.

 

T_T so beautiful!

 

AWWWWWWWWWWEEEEESOMEEE!!!!!!!!!one!!!! Also, is it just me, or do the trees look a little cartoony.

 

That mouse cursor is hot. HOT.

That is my answer to all the questions.

 

Looks fancy

 

No, this sucks.
Awful, everything about it.
No way am I ever going to buy this game.
Not even for free.
Never.

 

The stone texture is bad. @Tiy

Look at the "Pattern Error" section of Tiling here.

 

i think there is too little happening it should be more active. there should defiantly be more plant life/trees. also maybe another feature would be to have wind where everything sways together in the breeze, i think that would be amazing, tough we have yet to see a video so who knows
