-DSG- Depths intro screen.

Posted by DSG on Aug. 19, 2012, 11:59 a.m.

So, I've made an intro screen, and here's a first look at the beginning of the game, the first landing site in the Maibuu Rainlands. I was wondering what you guys thought of the more cave-like approach to design for this area?? Also, as for those crystals, do you like the orange? because it also looks awesome purple… but I feel something is missing… ideas?

Whoa!

Mind boggling.

Yeah that looks awesome as always.

But the design for the … save select? I'd go for something more general instead of 'jungle ruins'-themed. I say that because I assume the game will explore quite some different area types.

Also, the last screenshot has too much green imo. Maybe add some brown, gray, or as you said, purple.

Sweet graphics, brah.

Show us purple crystals. Crystals should be purple I think.

@sirXemic: yea, I was afraid of that, it's good to get a confirming opinion. perhaps I should go with a more earthy brown hue, I'll give it a shot

You could make several different looks for it, representing different areas you visit. Either have it randomly choose, or base off the last place visited by one of the saves.

Would be cool if the background changed dynamically based on the current area in the selected savegame.

^ I like that idea. Decently original.

^^ Half life 2 did that, it was pretty neat.

Although, if I were you, I'd focus on "crucial to the game" stuff before "pretty neat" stuff.

Also I like purple. It'd add more color to the area.
