Spring RTS Engine

Trying to build up my skills each time i visit this forum, you guys help me become better.


My grandfather was a lead designer in world war two/coldwar warships.

I have kind of taken this passion and so am creating a game about my own warships in this style, still ww2 style-ish when it comes to gameplay, but yet its own unique way of future design.

A big challenge!

And a building inspired me to photograph its broken patterns (its a broken down wharehouse) and then redraw them in photoshop, 4 different colors like you told me.

units wont look any less badass with bright colors (ak ur fighter)

I dont like bright, i like shadow

If you do it dark, at least add a bright 2nddary map to it, so it can shine like metall. Important that it doesent turn into one dark blob.

Speaking of warships:

@ MElvinVM

Does it fly?

it was planned to fly, but it doesn't really seem to work that well in spring.

As a bit of a space mod-ish i was thinking more as to let a naval-ship be capital ships, and planes be fighters/bombers

ships so large it takes half the map to turn?

My ship is not supposed to be used in S44 scale (except for lulz). Maybe someday I will resurrect Spiked's "Burning Waves" game, there it won't be too large.

Spring Tanks' capture the flag is now capture the flower!

spring tanks, get it?

Is that in 5.2? I just grabbed 5.2 last night.

the butterflies yes, the flower not (its wip)

The more you do the more you learn :)

About the skin. Even asian skin has red in it, I would make it less yellow, a bit more red, and use a lot more hue variation. Hue variation is the key to making a realistic looking skin.

If you're not sure about the tones/hues, there's a "trick" that could help. Take a good look at the skin, and ask yourself "Does this look like a zombie or like a living human?". Doing this makes it a lot easier to decide if you need to put more life in it or not.

Also, really good job, you're improving a lot.

Thanks,

yup, he does looks like a zombie

See? The trick works!

are you serious??

yes, a little of gimp too but mostly everything was painted directly on the texture through the 3d texture paint tool
