[Amnesia] Screenshot criticism thread

[Hardarm]

Looks great, I have tested your story and I have to say this is the best map you released so far! Even though the light could be less "greenie".
A story must mantain a certain style but Eternium seems to vary too much.
Maybe the room is too dark with these 2 windows, but rest is really good made. You've probably got to show another bit of the story though.


Experimenting:



This is a storage room, that has been a bit modified by the chemicals. It's from ALiTD.
I have raised a little the gamma for you all to see a little bit more!
EDIT: Haven't known of Danny Boy's previous pics in ANY way, so I haven't copied the glowing mushrooms, I thought it was a nice idea, even to detach and use as temporary carry-with-you source of light but well. Yeah. Busted.

@ Robo:
I like the claustrophobic feeling the room creates (although that might just be my dislike of underground areas and tunnels). Considering it's made of dirt and stone, the air (ignoring the light dust particles) is really clean - maybe a bit of fog or dust - unless you were intending for a clear view. Also, the blue thingy on the floor which I can't identify really grabs attention but it looks really out of place and odd. If I could tell what it was, I might be able to say something a little bit more helpful about it.

I, too, have some more screen shots from my cs's development =)

Spoiler below!

1. Reflections are coming from a grate with water inside on the floor (sort of like in the chem lab of TDD)

2. Sorry for the blurry bit - I decided after taking the screenshot that I didn't want blood streaming down onto the skull and photoshopped it out. Also, there's no ceiling (currently a WIP)

3. Same map as the other two images. I was trying to give the orchid a glow-y light-source effect without having it actually glow. Halo BB looks awful on it so I ended up throwing a bajillion tiny point lights around it =s

Let me know if they're too dark and I'll brighten them up a bit =D
Edit: Brightened them and changed a few angles because centered stuff is boring c:

The bloody tree on top of the skull is a nice touch.

Hehe, thank you

It's looks nice.. Maybe a little too nice.
The walls are very clean. How about adding some moist or leak to the walls?

after all, player will spend an hour or so in that room.

Then you better make a lot of details

Pretty. But a bit too uniform. needs bit more verity of tones and light sources

[Adny]

Its too bright for the amount of light sources (1) given. Light can stretch quite a ways, but it doesn't make sense for the area directly under that ceiling hole to be the same color/brightness than an area near the corner of the map.

Also billboards could use work. Try playing with the color levels so that they match the environment around it - the shade of blue doesn't really match.

Also fog. use some of that.

I was actually planning, from the beginning, to have only one light source (the broken roof) in this area. But if you think it will look better with multiple light sources of different tones, I will try it out. Do you have any suggestions on what other light sources I could use other than torches?

Thanks for the reply. For the fog, do you mean like fog areas, global fog, fog particles?
