I'd personally center the buttons in the big box. I would also keep to the same amount of upgrades, one has four whilst the rest have 3, I'd have them all 3 or all 4

Jordeyy

@beefy_clyro do you mean like this bro ?

Yes looks much more aligned. I would also shrink speed demon a tiny bit so you could centre that above the bike between the 2 arrow

Jordeyy

@beefy_clyro like this bro ? http://gyazo.com/1973804ecb8f9569e8b86414d71bee70

Maybe increase the size now of speed demon so the word fits in nicely but just keep it centred, looks a lot nicer on the eyes. Compare that now to the 1st pic and you'll see it just looks better

Jordeyy

@beefy_clyro do you think the design as a whole , is nice ?

gyroscope

I like it a lot, @Jordeyy ; more than acceptable graphics. Congrats on getting your first game together; nice to see you're getting an eye for detail! :-)

beefy_clyro

Yup, nice and clean on the whole

Riffel

Jordeyy

@Riffel why , what was you going to do bro ?

Jordeyy

@gyroscope thanks a lot bro , i really appreciate it

Jordeyy

@beefy_clyro thanks for your help bro

KnightStar

Your Art looks great.. My only comment is with the guy on the bike - was it intended to have him flying off the ground? He appears to be in mid-flight vs. touching the ground and driving.. Short of that, it looks great!

No worries. What riffel is saying is, use the below link and delete out the $ sign and it will embed your pictures into the thread so people dont have to click a link

@beefy_clyro oooo i get you now, i will keep that in mind, for future reference

@KnightStar also the bike was just meant to be there to look at , not realy driving or in mid air if you get me , i didnt mean for him to be doing any

I think it looks nice, you used TSB's/GSHelper's art pack right?

One more suggestion. It appears that your text in the boxes is a bit random. For example, Run-Up is to far in, and even though Weight may be at the same'hight as the others, it would look better if you nudged it down slightly because of that hard--cornered "W".

Hope this helps,

Heres my opinions which I wrote in a different thread of yours;


Lots of work needed from what I see;

The rub feature appears horrible, the bike hardly seems to move! Its better if you go across the whole screen and not just where it says rub.

When you crash on that one, the bike stays where it is and the character slides off screen whilst floating in the air! It should be the bike goes off screen and the character stays.

You can wheelie and crash on this level without moving! On the other level you cannot do this until you are moving!

On the other level the character randomly changes colour throughout.

Some parts of your hud on the 1st level is really crisp where others are quite dull.

Anyway, theres a few points, hope you find it useful!



As for the upgrades menu, when cycling between the different bikes, make sure ALL actors are in exactly the same position, which they are currently not, and at the same sizes.

Also, on the cost upgrade of on the bike, centre align that button with the name button from above!

@beefy_clyro bro i have not worked on the obstacle course level yet, that's why its messed up
