You didn't see battleship class

[joe130794]

Bashed this together yesterday. 4 launch bays, 4 large missile slots and 6 small ballistics.

One new ship.

[MesoTroniK]

Drakon those are interesting sprites, one thing that pokes me about them a bit is that they are painted in pure gray instead of a slightly "colored gray".

It is such fraction. Other fractions will have other color scheme.

That was not what I meant, try checking out this thread.

But in short, true gray does not exist and you can do a gray with a slight color to it that still looks gray but it also more vivid and interesting.


Left is "colored gray", right is "true gray".

I don't see any difference. Absolutely. And you know why? Because I am a color-blind person. I won't be able to make in any way that you want. Sorry.

I'm not even colour-blind and even I can't see any difference.
Now I'm worried that I'm colour-blind

Is there a difference?

[King Alfonzo]

There is, but it's damn subtle. You have to have an artist's or designer's eye to conciously catch it, and it works better on a larger area than the small one given here. It helps prevent greyscale from looking too overly boring. Adding orange/yellow makes the colour slightly dirty, blue/purple makes it look more metallic, red/green makes it look more fleshy / organic.

Adding orange/yellow makes the colour slightly dirty... red/green makes it look more fleshy / organic.

yeah , dirty & flashy on large scale
1pix = 1m in game scale

[TheBawkHawk]

1pix = 1m in game scale

Didn't Alex say that there was no definite scale like this? I thought he said that the sprites are as big as they need to be for gameplay reasons, and not because thats how large they actually are.

[DrakonST]

Last ship. Capital class. Now I do Allien portraits.

[DrakonST]

4 portraits. 1 for my avatar, 3 for fraction to which I have already made several ships. I am a freeeeee!!!
