Hehe thanks Seph!

I saw those buildings from a Digital painting in Deviantart. I rendered it myself.

GLB wrote:Also, the bg can be replaced or even darkened/saturated and some color loss can be removed that way.

Oh I see, i'll try that later.

Thanks Grayfox!

Like it so far, what else do you plan to add to it?

I'm not pleased with the gradient in the BG, damn colorloss.

Looks like you're getting better :)
This concept is really nice. makes me think of polar metropolis or some shit like that from MOTVN. I already explained how to avoid gradintloss like that but because i'm nice i'm gonna do it again :)

open your sprite with the gradient and use a radial blur, then a gaussian blur, and turn it into 256. Then re-apply the radial blur and re turn it into 256 again.
repeat this process as many time as you want if there are sitll gradient loss and just try to play with the blur intensity to see what result you get. a blur of 10 to 20 % should be enough for any type of blur.

Also I am not sure about one of the building with the top going like it has a pyramidal shape but that's just me.


ANd finally, it might be personal preference but i find illogical and weird when a stage has a strong color influence (here it's blue light obviously) and characters are not affected by this light and color influence.

It sounds logical that in a powerful sunset, characters should look a little bit orange/yellow/reddish for example.

Here I suppose character could be affected a little bit by a turquoise/light blue tint. make some test with a character that has a white costume like Saiki to be able to see the strenght of the tint.
To obtain this apply a tint with layerno = 1

Not indispensable but makes a big difference from my point of view.

-UPDATE-

- Added Tint
- Added 1 Billboard
- Added Electric post
- Added some Fireworks in the BG
- Fixed the glow in the BG (sorta)

And I won't be making a Billboard base anymore, just make your billboard and i'll add it there.
Save it as .psd and i'll be doing some tweaking.

Size of Billboard should not exceed 500 x 500 px.





And please, do suggest some more stuff to add.

correct the gradient for real lol.

Lol okay.

It's looking better. Gradients are a HUGE thing like Jean said. He's a pro at this.

The power lines are a good thought, but they look awkward. Also, lower the opacity on your billboards a bit if you're going to have them on the buildings. Remember this as well, I ran into some problems this way;

When you code billboards the velocities and such have to be significant and other parts of said coding have to be significant as well. Check my coding in Night Train, (if you have it, since it was private for a while. I may have an extra lying around somewhere.) If you don't randomize the coding the billboards will appear over one another. To add on to your billboard thing, I have a base you can use in the graphics section.

The spaceship is cool as well, but i'd remove that if I were you that's all on you though.

Raise the fireworks to be a bit more above the city.

Alright, i'll fix it properly. :)

Maybe you could explain more.

Okay.

I'll see what I can do.
And it seems that i've misplaced my copy of that stage.
Maybe someone could send it to me.

Uhhm ... spaceship?

Thanks AZ

What do you guys think?
I really need suggestions for the animations, my mind is blank.

Could have him fighting another robot. Or youmake the robot act like the ref from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], OR you could have him attack the players while they're fighting.

Those are very nice ideas, especially the one where the robot attacks the players. Too bad I lack both the resources and the knowledge.



For now, the Gundam will be static since I just got that render off of Deviantart.

Ta-dah!

The smoke doesn't really blend well imo, what do you guys think?

Looking very cool another g stage. Maybe you can ask Jean whats a better trans code.

Nice! I wonder what kind of track I could make for this stage....

my modest opinion:

- This robot doesn't blend with the image. The drawing style is too different. The background looks realistic with dirt and shit whereas this gundam looks super clean. maybe you could change the robot or change his colors and draw manually some dirt on it. Like it was actually used in combat already.

- Also the characters look very bright compared to the darkness of the floor and the stage generally speaking.

- Also there seems to be a pink pixel in the middle of the screen (on the floor sprite) that should not be here

Make it a mix of "Overlydramatic" and "Techno" just like the Gundam Seed series.

Okay, i'll try.

jeanbureau wrote:

Okay, i'll add a stage darkening sprite.
Btw, as you can see, there's a shadow effect on the Building, Gundam, and the floor. Do you know how I can add a "Shadow" effect, sorta like a tint.
I see this all the time with Sinhra's stages but I can't seem to understand how he does it.

I don't really see it though, but if I do, i'll fix it.

Yes, it's pretty amateur. Just editing, adding sound fx and combining tracks. I edit all the tracks that come with my stages. Most I just added crowd roars or ambience. My "Backstreets Of Brooklyn" stage is what I consider to be my first "true" mix. Check'em out when you got time. I'm always looking for feedback

[/quote] Make it a mix of "Overlydramatic" and "Techno" just like the Gundam Seed series.[quote]

LOL! Sounds like a good formula to me. I'll send it to you when it's ready, my dude

Thanks man! And could ya do me a request and try to mix this in?
