Also an example:



I think the main factor is to give the buildings more depth, such as through a 3D aspect and some shading to give the illusion of distance instead of a picture on a background.

 

I'm wondering. Do we know who exactly lives and works in those buildings? I mean Chemical Plant zone has buildings with blinker lights to help low flying planes, so possibly an airport is nearby.

 

Here's another suggestion for a city bg:



(Its from Streets of rage/Bare knuckle 1)

 

Sorry to go off-topic, but depends on the game/tv series. Could be humans, could be animals, could be anybody.

Nonetheless, as posted in the above pictures, try to include some extra colors with the windows, such as a darker texture to show lights that are off (such as the one posted above) and random patterns, as you have already done.

 

If you use the importer in SonED2, it shouldn't take more than five minutes.

I've always loved that background.

 

Now now, no need to rush (That's when things fuck up XD), take your time M3K, maybe find ways of improving the design abit, or maybe a tad different pallet or something (That's not to say that it doesn't look fab already though =P).

Now THAT'S art. Not a lot of detail, but it looks great for a night scene.

I agree, that's much better, now it doesn't look like a kiddies pre-school cartoon background like before, much more professional, realistic and well setout, "great work is great!" =)

I fell in love with this... I love the night and the stars, so I love this art.
It's definetly awesome!

 

I really like this hack, but for the Labyrinth Zone, I'd rather see the Present Tidal Tempest BG and tiles instead of the Good Future one. Juts my opinion though

 

yeah, maybe the present BG will look more... well, not to say "fitting" as such, but it would fit ok and would make a change,

do you plan to use/make another BG besides the Present/GFuture TTZ BGs?

EDIT: btw, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not getting pissed off with these design updates, it's nice to see you have alot of sweet designs planned =)

 

I'm not pissed off either. Personally, I love when people post screenshots of their games; a lot of them have such appealing designs.

 

I've always been a fan of TT GF stuff. Although perhaps instead of pink a blue would be more fitting?

Back when I was making a hack I thought about making LZ into a sort of ice cavern. Then I got bored and I stopped.
