New Desert Pack

[RickFGS]

First attempt at a new desert tiles, first things first, brighter? darker? Good? Bad ideia? Do they look like dunes or not? Do you like this path?

 

[Blue Monkey]

Please do continue. And please post a screenshot or two of the desert with the surrounding terrain you mean it to go with. Even if the "edges" aren't smooth seeing color matching & graphics style will help with giving you well thought out comments.

very very nice and pleasant to the eye....

 

[T-mun]

Nice work. Maybe the dunes could be a bit more horizontal, so that it would fit better with the oasis and the trees. In-game preview would be nice too, with ressources shadows on, and units shadows too.

 

[RickFGS]

Ok, will give another go and post more screenies with some of the changes already sugested, thanks for all the feedbacks civers

 

[RickFGS]

More progress, tried a diferent tile, 25% brighter and contrast. Horizontal oriented 0º, this is in-game shot.



I like, but there´s some weird black pixel in the corners of each tile, check palette, can´t find it...hum, maybe transparent is missplaced...

Looks good. Now it just needs a soundtrack.

[The Guardian]

Looking good. I can deffinately use this.

 

[RickFGS]

Now to mix the various tiles with grass, plains and coast

Looking at the Lawrence video, adding larger dunes also comes to mind

 

[Quinzy]

Looking good!

 

[RickFGS]

@Quinzy: Thank you

Job at 99% completion, some minor bugs here and there to correct, but i like the result, good news is i learned how to blend better, so i can give another go at the coast-sea-ocean tiles wCSO.pcx file soon.

In game shots after blending with grass, plains and water.

Bravo man...

 

[RickFGS]

Ty, next step is to make large dunes in a LMDesert.pcx...

 

[T-mun]

Very nice work Rick I didn't know these Camel-riding units, I thought at first they were unit_32 icons because of the lack of shadows. The animal skeleton is a nice touch too

 

[RickFGS]

Ty manuneed, the camels are from Rise and Rule, don´t know who made them, the skelethon is Pounder´s resource i think.

Hi RickFGS, here is an inspiration for desert-resources from the terrain of an very old German scenario (Aventurien):



May be such - reworked - dune resources could be a good addition to your desert terrain, too?

 

[RickFGS]

It´s an interesting ideia Civinator, if i rotate those dunes horizontly and brighten it a bit, maybe it could be added as an LM Desert hummm....ty!
