I like the style very much but think on the other hand that it looks a bit "rough". It's hard to spot certain elements and structure due the colors and "blotches on the textures.

For a stylized game I think a bit less texture details would be better. Sorry but can't explain better in english. ;)

I agree, whilst the overall comic style effect is a good one, its 'color chaos' in these scenes and it does very much distract the eye from easily mapping the structure and contours of the geometry. DaDonik's and Franck's comic shader examples looked a lot more effective given a more toned down color balance. Interesting to see you working on a new game though NA and an episodic one!

 

What’s happened to Hidden Dawn though, I remember you indicating that was complete a long long time ago?

Hi I like the effect a lot. Looks good and the scene looks nice as well.

 

Just out of curiosity, if you were to look at your textures without the cartoon effect are the realistic textures? or have you simplified them?

 

Just curious.

..thanks guys, your comments are really constructive and thats what i like about this forum sooooo much...

 

@Pixel Perfect

Marleys Ghost already pointed plan, Hidden dawn is completed, if publisher doesnt find something to add (fingers crossed)..as for Hoodwink, Episode 1 should be out by the year end, and new episode should be out each 4 months, but we will see..just look at DaDonik shader...quite interesting way of painting additional color on to texture bumps..

 

@Engineer Ken

Yes, textures were 'photorealistic' , and processed a bit in Photoshop , and saved with lower settings (PNG for web) what did great deal of surface effect i wanted..

i'm probably gonna get it for asking this, but.. uh, would it be possible to see what that scene looks like before the post effect...

 

i feel that it's such a blasphemy to use the LW renderer and then cancel out most of the good graphics stuff with a comic shader (don't hit me NA ;) )...

 

on the other hand...

 

i think you've really got something here with this comic book thing (i may follow suit)... especially for the mobile market...

 

some sorta interactive comic where the reader mostly reads, but every now and then gets an opportunity to change the direction the plot takes (i guess you would have to make sure the storyline ends in one or two different ways for followup issues... or provide some way for the folowup issue to pick up where the last one left off) by talking to the characters, playing a sequence as on of the characters, etc...

 

i do think that there's potential here for something...

It's hard to judge the scene with this effect because it could very well match the game-play style. I think it looks great. As a still screen, it's easier to pick out little flaws with the shader here and there, but while actually in the game and playing, you wouldn't notice most of them. I'm thinking NA is using this style to give a certain feel to the player through environment with it's planned game-play, and in that case, this shader may be spot on.

 

I look forward to seeing some videos, NA, if at all planned. Would be great to learn more about this project.

..hi guys..here is the main character in game, so you can see that whole idea about cartoon comic book style makes sense just by observing character anatomy..ill post images without shader processing tomorrow, but its looking uber ugly without shader because I have purposely degraded textures (plastered) and saved with quite low quality , what helped me to get, nice dirty details, after shader did color exposure.. right now im very tired (its 2:22 AM here, and im looking like a zombie after looking at monitor whole day until now..huh..), and im just finished this character fixing, im about to post, so i hope you will like character as well.. :P

Beautifull , reminds me Borderlands !

It would have been could if you had two versions , one with re worked textures, and the level with original textures, just to see the difference.

But i like this effect. It brings some softness and kindness with this style !

Stop toying and make games
