GroovyBee Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I used a similar moveable clipping mask and MOB prioritisation changes in the Rocketeer intro: The meteor is masked as it starts falling from inside the top "film reel animation". When the meteor passes behind the rocket it is masked to prevent it being seen through the black detail parts. When the astronaut leaves the ship he is masked to prevent him being seen through the ship detail. When the astronaut is in his flying arc I mask out a star he passes in front of. So its always a good idea to have some MOBs in reserve for masking purposes to make things more fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroillucid Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 While I was polishing the game, I thought to myself I could add sand as I already have fire and spikes in the game Plus, it add more to the gameplay wich is never a bad thing 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to add some dither/shading in there to break it up a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks for the advice That was also my thoughts but wanted opinion/suggestions on it before taking a decision Big areas of plain "foreground" colour always look a bit odd. If you broke it up with some rocks or more of the blue stones it might not be so bad. Should I add water as well? In a pit or water/acid drops? If its in a pit is it going to be a death trap? If so it might be better if you have some of the darker blue stones at the bottom and then maybe 8 pixels in height of cyan and then 4 to 6 pixels of a nice ripple effect. The dark purple might also be good for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I think it would add some more atmosphere to this style of game if you could randomly see bats fly past the windows (on the outside) or you see the blinking eyes of a small rodent in a dark corner or a bigger bubble of lava in the lava pool etc. Things that aren't necessarily going to hurt the player's avatar or aid their mission but the player has to do a double take and then will wait for it to happen again. But only add the extra polish if you have free sprites and ROM space for such extra eye candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alp Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 That picture is actually mesmerizing... it looks 3-D, with the gold jutting out from the black/blue. That effect is called contrast. It's when you grab colors from the opposite ends of the spectrum, to unify elements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
