Post Gm_Construct
EDIT: I made a better-looking version, but it had palette problems, so I'll just leave it and move on.

Part of a Facepunch Faction I'm whipping up. My first real foray into scene-making, so tips and criticism welcome.

Now with a Bunkered version!

The trees and buildings are only there as placeholders - I'm waiting for my tablet to be delivered so I can do them properly.

I removed the wall crumbling because it looked a bit off.

This looks OK, I don't get why there is grass underneath the ground, though :(

Under the ground? Let me see that..

EDIT: Sorry, mate, I'm not sure what you mean. Thanks, though. :wink:

EDIT AGAIN: Oh, I get it. That's not ground, that's backdrop.

Oh....I get it. :)
Yeah, overall, it's pretty good, but I don't really love the pink

Haha, thanks. It's based on the Garry's Mod map, which has pinkish walls.
I guess it's an acquired taste.

Work on the skyscraper. And the hangar should be a preplaced object, not terrain, or else it'll be ♥♥♥♥.
Walls could use some shading, too. All in all, not bad, but it needs more detail.
And try using the automatic placement of grass rather than having it as terrain.

I don't like the way you've done the crumbling wall in the background.

It needs to be more artistic, less airbrush tool.

Hey, thanks for the input. I'll get to work.

EDIT: Also, I tried to add the hangars as a non-moving backdrop layer, but they turn all weird colours ingame:

EDIT: Removed, for the benefit of eyes.

Umm.... eww?

Don't try and draw structures using the default textures.
Make your own, or at least use the default concrete one instead >_>

try to keep the Y and X movements of the wall as close togeter as posible, when your flying in your map you lose all idea of height,
because when you look at the side to side movement (x) its suggesting the wall is 1 meter away from the map
and when you look to the up and down movement (y) its saying the wall is very close to the far away background,
and when you fly, it looks like the wall is flying with you.
this can be solved by changing this:

Code:
   AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer
      InstanceName = Gm_Construct_Backdrop_Near
      AddToGroup = Near Backdrops
      DrawTransparent = 1
      WrapX = 1
      WrapY = 0
      ScrollRatio = Vector
         X = 0.7
         Y = 1200
      BitmapFile = ContentFile
         Path = Facepunch.rte/Scenes/Backdrops/Gm_Construct_Backdrop_Near.bmp


to somthing like this:

Code:
   AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer
      InstanceName = Gm_Construct_Backdrop_Near
      AddToGroup = Near Backdrops
      DrawTransparent = 1
      WrapX = 1
      WrapY = 1
      ScrollRatio = Vector
         X = 0.5 
         Y = 0.5
      BitmapFile = ContentFile
         Path = Facepunch.rte/Scenes/Backdrops/Gm_Construct_Backdrop_Near.bmp


also, try to make the sprites more realistic, or closer to looking as cortex command sprites.
and the lines around objects will look better if you make them darker then the object itself.
ps: try not to use paint


EDIT: ur sprites arent using the pallet thats wy they are all those weird collors

Trees need to look better.
Oh, and for your FP faction, you gotta add Garry Newman.

I live in florida, so the pink buildings look pretty normal. But, if you darkened them they'd make a better background, and would be easier to distinguish from the foreground. All and all, its good to see a new, original map, even if it needs work.
