wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Holy moly, this is how you design a civ. i am pretty inspired by this! Surely, the actual Chinese civ will probably end up quite different, but I love how he laid this all out, the thought that went into it, and the organization of it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 A really nice close-up look at the Greek buildings (Mythic Age textures). What I notice right away is that they don't bother trying to "infer" detail in the diffuse textures. If a detail is smaller than a texel, then they don't add additional noise by trying to infer it. They don't try to "bake in" extraneous details and shadows. They also let the normal maps do a ton of heavy lifting. Those things combined with really good AO makes everything pop. The lack of "noise" in the finished products makes everything look new and fresh and professional. Honestly, a lot of 0 A.D.'s legacy assets (specifically textures) fail at this. I wish we had more manpower to comprehensively review all of our textures, identify the problematic ones, and update them. And now Atlanteans.

Lion.Kanzen Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 (edited) The armor and texture details on the clothes are impressive. Some animations are weak. The hoplite animation is a poor recreation of the AoE I DE one. But the hoplite looks lazy. Edited October 5 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Apart from the beautiful armor and its shine. I like the combat sounds, and they are not that hard to make if you have good base sounds. And I like the stats icons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 I really like the concept of the AoM R GUI. I'll try to see if I can copy this style of icons. I can start with sketches and then go to vectors with gradients to finish them with Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 The animation is good, that of the peltasts but 0AD did better with slingers, The hit effects( by flamming javelins) are interesting, it gives off a glow/flash when hitting its target. The cape animation looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grautvornix Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 Just asking as you stated that we don't have that in 0AD - but we do (I think). I can fight together with allies against whomever. 2 hours ago, Lion.Kanzen said: Cooperative mode. We don't have anything like that.
