Don't tell me you didn't.
I was thinking of restarting the ISO town thing again.
Cept with bigger buildings than mine. Cause that door is TINY.

A town made with isometric buildings. We've done it before.

That's a very 60s town hall.
That's a very 60s town hall.
It's also very tall, considering it's twice the size of the doorway. And very narrow, too. I don't know how you expect to fit people in that thing. It's only as wide as three doors!
And the cars would have to be really small too, if they expect to fit in those spaces.
Oh, and there's a line running through the roof too, for some reason.

Also it has a fountain hovering in the air next to it. I'd have thought that was notable.

Finally, someone picked that up.
And no, I enjoy the criticism.
I'll make a better town hall later, and I'd like other people to comtribute as well.
Guess not.

It's not bad, but shading and maybe a crease at the body/tail join might not go amiss.

Yes. Just because something is isometric doesn't mean you have to draw everything as a block.

It's where a Dutch guy was arrested for stealing $6000 worth of virtual furniture.

That's obviously because since 'eric prydz - call on me', people everywhere have a much higher standard of music. And with such a boring, dull song, the flash is just ruined now. What Mukee should do is do the flash again, only using 'eric prydz - call on me' as the backround music. I'd give that a 10/10!

I think I see what Xinos did. He changed the angles from the almost 120 degrees that you get with the normal "diagonals are composed of 2x1 rectangles" method" to actual 120 degree angles, presumably by squashing the image a tiny amount horizontally.
shadowman
14 Dec 2007, 12:09
Yeah. It kinda gives the impression that even if the image is 2D, it could easily be placed an a 3d environment. It also somewhat changes how the building looks, but that's okay :P.

You could tuch up the windows on the left by adding a white stripe of reflectiveness to the whole side.

The C on the top doesn't make any sense. It's projected wrong, and why would they put it there at all? Who'd ever see it? And if they did, why that way around?
Star Worms
20 Dec 2007, 00:29
It needs some depth - the whole surface is very flat. In real life you'd probably find the windows indented slightly with a window-sill visible. Secondly, show a few things through the windows like you did with the door. Despite the shading on one side of the building, the window colours look odd as they are so different from each other. Also, the middle lines shouldn't really be 2 pixels wide.

I had to make the middle line 2 pixels wide so it would be in the exact centre of the door. Plus, what you suggested is a very good idea, but if I did that, it would have taken a whole lot longer. Although I might try it and post an updated version.

I said I did it quickly.Even in that case though, you're supposed to pick one or the other, not both. It doesn't look as out of place as it does when the line is 2px thick.

Oh, and I can't wait to see Muscular Worm's place. I'm gonna make the new town hall in proportion to the house you just made.
EDIT
Muahaha, I built a graveyard based off a small area of Morningside Cemetery from Blood.
I had the characters over at the PostMortem forum, and decided to add to the isotown.
Does anyone want to create a generic worm sprite to use at all of the houses, so the worms look semi-consistent?
EDIT EDIT
Uh, forgot to add the graveyard.

And yes, I'll make it into a town, once we have a good amount of houses and things.
