Do you have the thrust animated? I'm not sure sure about it. It feels like a candle light. I think it should be more "afterburner" like.



Talking here specifically about shape, not color.

Beside that, I like the shape you designed, and especially your color choices.

Hrm....dude, nobody deserves anything in life.

When there is not replies, maybe there isn't anything educative to criticize on your work, or people are simply busy. Just keep trying.

I personally love the first grass tile, but I think you need to make few more patterns, because inside the map repetition is quite obvious. Rock tile could use a reboot. All rocks inside the tile have same color edges, independent of light source. That is wrong. Try not to think of this tile as a lump of rocks, but as a rocky-texture.

Also, shadow under the rock mustn't be grey, as it is casting shadow on green surface. Make it dark green.

Really awesome.

When stuck with an object, always look for reference, whether real objects, drawings or pixel art:

Hrm...just noticed Spuds Quest. The original version was released some 5 years ago for the PC as freeware and I reviewed it for Reloaded.org: http://www.reloaded.org/download/Spuds-Quest/362/

Glad to hear it's going to be reborn, although I would prefer the developer mentioned this first version on the Kickstarter page, as much of the work is reused.

Thanks for your suggestions. Very useful. Already continued working on it before your post, and quite some of your suggestions I implementing before reading your post. Out of some other changes you did not mention, I increased the height by one pixel, because a lot of stuff is going on the top of the car and I needed more space there. That is also the case in the original as well.

Anyway, ...

New (still WIP, but close to it):


Still the part above tires is bothering me. Would I ask too much if I would ask your edit only of that specific detail (above the car)?
Yeah, I think that reference image is computer rendered.

Anyway, the new model side by side the first model:


Edit: Uh, forgot that I break a straight line on the bottom of the front-side window. Will fix it.

Edit: Maybe a better shading reference:



Chevrolet Aveo 4 doors Sedan, BTW.

Pine trees are tricky. I would personally try to make it without foliage first, and then add it.
