Post by: Hishnak on March 21, 2007, 12:37:36 am

Well, half of it actually...

Created for a super epic space shmup I'm making.

Looks good. I like your choice in colors. I would love to see animated thrusters.

Looks okay right now.  All I can really point out is that the highlights on the "thrusters" are reverse what the should be compared to the rest of the piece's highlights.  Cool stuff though, I want to see more of this!

I agree with Rydin, but I think you need more depth to it as well. It would be much more interesting if there were some sections jutting out towards us, etc.

very cool, I like it a lot already!  :D :y:
there is only one thing that bothered me a little, is the horizontal line you have on the top right part (with two darker pixel on it)
like this I don't really know if it's painted or a crease... for a crease, I think the line should be darker.. I did a small edit,
(edited other stuff more for fun than necessary but maybe will give you ideas ^^)

Looks great now,
but I'd like to see more specular highlights from the flames on the metal thrusters. They always give things a much more realistic feel.

I like the design of the ship a lot!  I agree with Pownatized, in that it needs more depth, right now it looks almost completely flat.  I really like the colors on this!

It's bloody excellent is what it is. Nice n' clean.

Reminds me of Cybernator on the SNES.

Well I changed some things and tried to add more depth. Mainly adding more shadow around the bottom edge and under the blocks that stick out. I also changed the shading around the black panels.

It still looks exactly the same as it did last August?  http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=1725.0

Ouch. Do you plan to release your game in 2036?

Ouch is right man, I remembered the title but not the ship! Yeah, I pretty much feel stupid right now.

And actually the game will be released in 2037 cause right now the coding is blowing my brain.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. As long as it's not intended (it's considered very bad form to repost the same stuff generally) okay. I think the recent darkening edit you did is a step in the right direction. Unless the background will be very dark, I'd lose the selout on the flames, though.
