I don't think you're using enough hearts there, failedALIAS.

On Topic: This is a thread for gauging the quality & providing constructive criticism of various HPL2 environments presented via screenshot. Having that much blur on the screen really makes it hard to see the smaller details. It may look fine in game, but isn't good for this thread in particular; it ultimately limits how much we can help.

RE: Screenshot criticism thread - Robby - 09-30-2012

I know, Andy. I just love the effect itself.

But yeah, the screenies with the blur are not exactly the best. In-game, yup.

RE: Screenshot criticism thread - Hardarm - 09-30-2012

That blur is part of the intro, and I have to find a good way to fade it off correctly along with the map!
I wanted to give a glimpse of some of the areas though ^^

EDIT: I will repost screenshots without the blur.

It's from my upcoming unannounced project, which will end most likely like my other stuff.
But yeah i'll try to get help @ storywriting. *smile*

And please guys forgive me about clipping particles, i'm finding a way to make them fit

Good job on the detail in your maps. There's not much that needs improvement there. However, the rooms in the 3rd and 4th pictures are pretty bright. You should probably lower the lighting there.
Also, clipping particle textures are easier to handle if they are the same color as the objects around them. The ones in your pictures are completely white when they should be a darker, slightly brownish color.

Anyways, here's a map/room I've been working on lately:

That room is supposed to be bright like that, there are 2 windows :/
Your pictures look nice but, yeah, you see, there is a window, put some light coming from it, and it isn't the only light source neither, there is a bigass torch, work with Point Lights to manage the light inside the room... Yeah, I have got an average gamma value when I screenshot but you should make the area a bit more bright because of the light sources you got there, cannot see much details more than what the lights brighten

My map has got those bright particles because some are in front of the window light that's why they look like that, it's dust, and I make a lot of brown particles in dark area that's why they look "completely white" (rgb 0.5) because they're exposed to light.

Other than that your pics are good. Smile

EDIT: don't mix light blue with yellow light in a room, the lighting in the room will look too fancy other wise. As I said make the room a bit more brighter and work with point lights to adjust the light.

Also, all the map should have a very very dark boxlight (thanks Robosprog) to make the atmosphere, yours have got windows and I don't seem to see any boxlight there, but detailing is really nice Smile

Acies is kindly helping me out with this little project by making custom models that fit with the aesthetic, but here is what I achieved using Amnesia's and Justine's assets. It's a hunting lodge.
Front Porch:

NOTE: Clearly a WIP, what you see here is just the bare bones. I obviously need to add decor and scripts.
