Heh, may be too late to say this, but you posted in the wrong forum.

This forum gets too little posts, and the more popular Mod Making is where this belongs. I'll move it there shortly.

On a related note, that's some fantastic sprite work you've done there.

Has the policy changed again so that only completely ready for release mods go in Mods? I know it used to be that mods without downloads went in Mod Making and those with downloads went into Mods...

For the most part you only want to post completed mods in Mod Releases, or at least betas with plenty of content. Otherwise you'll get very negative feedback.

i posted this in the art forum cos it was only that sprite sheet at that time, and i wasnt expecting someone to take up the job. but i was proved wrong by duh102

anyway, i made a droppod and a rocket, and im planning on a dropship, but im going away so i might not have time.

Here's my only real beef with these sprites: the gatling gun. You tried to make a visible separation between the barrels, which isn't really good spriting protocol on such small scale. You wan to do something more like this:


You have to suggest the contours and divisions with shading, rather than actually having blank areas.

Also, you might notice that the middle part of the cluster of barrels is pretty shiney. Well, you'd probably have to make the whole gun a bit lighter to go along with that, assuming that the body of the gun sticks out towards the viewer as much as the closest barrel does.

In general, though I know your guns are supposed to mostly be black, don't be afraid to use colors a few shades lighter than what you're already using. I learned in making my own mod that you can use quite a range of grays and still come out with something that looks black overall. Really, this entire collection of guns could use shades of gray a notch or two up from how you already have it.

OK thanks for the input, ill do some editing some time. If you don't mind, I'm going to use that gatling gun cos it looks so cool.

Well, the important thing is that you look at it and learn from it, not just use it. I suggest you re-design the whole gun, because now the front stands out oddly from the body.

Sprites are a little, tiny bit flat looking to me, but sheer variety has me impressed. Do keep working on this, it shows promise.

@TFSR Yeah im planning on making alot because there are alot of different guns out there.

@Darlos9D but if i change that gun then i need to change the whole lot, but i guess that could be a good thing...

The sprites are very flat...

really, not to shabby, maybe some more shading (i didn't notice any, but i'd dancing to relax), but it looks promising, please get to releasing it.

Yes. yes it would be. You can't take the easy way out.
