Anyway last week I was experimenting with graphic ideas, and I accidentally blurred a wall tile instead of changing its colour but I liked what I saw. So I decided to make all the pictures blurry to create a more graphically enhanced game. Anyway I just want your views on these pictures, if you think I should carry on with the technique It's still in concept development and nothing is really final, but I thought I'll share it with you and get some opinion. (This is why I havn't made a project page for it)

OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	2nd May, 2009 at 15:48:06 - I dunno, I like both...
Scott S Heavy Metal Registered 21/03/2008 Points 51	2nd May, 2009 at 15:52:22 - Blurred makes it look waaay better imo. Rockin' it.

Ah, yes the checkerboard that was it I love it so. Rockin' it.

It's like trying to trick you into thinking theirs more detail then there really is. Looks decent, but I'd prefer sharper graphics, looks nicer in the long run. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	2nd May, 2009 at 21:14:30 - The orange background isn't doing the un-blurred graphics justice... It's not complete so you can't really compare them...

It looks like nintendo 64 textures. really low quality but blurred loads so you can't see each pixel is 8 times it's normal size. The sprites look pretty well drawn and the rest is alright but a bit dull. .

Mr G Registered 31/12/2008 Points 178	3rd May, 2009 at 12:48:44 - I think they look great, but the thick outlines for both the backdrops and the character don't look good at all :S Edited by Mr G http://create-games.com/project.asp?id=1549

That's what I had in mind too, but I just couldn't think about it. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

(You can prolly guess I'm making my projects based around RARE games.) Thanks for your suggestions and comments , I'm gunna mess arouund with your ideas and see what I can come up with. I'll post up what I've created in the next couple of days, -Poobical. Edited by Poobical
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	3rd May, 2009 at 22:54:47 - Ah, JetForce Gemini... I keep restarting my file on that game, intending to play through to the end, and I keep forgetting about it. I think it's because it's not as attention-grabbing as it was hyped-up to be.
