It looks horrible!

I love being able to see the pixels on my monitor. I frequently dislike motion blur and depth of field blur in games as the human eye doesn't suffer from these inferiorities.

Besides which, it looks like you pasted a bunch of worms in just for effect... I can see at least 5 weapon-wielding worms and even what look like loose weapons.

Sorry if I'm not being nice; I'm just being honest.

Pfft, you just have to click a button in Flash 8 to do that.

Wait, Flash 8..
Have you bought it now?

Ah, I just saw all the loose worms which you probably imported in.
But that still doesn't show much effort.

I've never considered copy & pasting to be much effort. It's probably less effort than going to the toilet and I certainly wouldn't praise anyone for doing that unless they were a toddler learning to potty train.

Or is that the case?

Well, I'll tell you how I did this.
I used the fiddler to create a cluster bomb with around 400 clusters, and all using different sprites of worms for the clustlets. Then I did the zoom thing. I originally made it for my desktop backround. It looks really cool in fullscreen! Then I used it for a reply to another thread, the one where people were discussing the lunatic Trippenz'z obviously fake remake of W:A. And so on, so forth.

For a start, the explosion did not destroy half the map, so it shouldn't be so big.

Not if they don't overdo it.

The lense flare thing may work (on a 2d worms game) or atleast some nice shine effects.

No, really. It would really detract from the solid-coloured, comic style of the game.

Oh and please don't replace letters in my name with numbers or you'll soon have an enemy on your hands brain. ;)

The way to make W:A look good

... is to leave it the damn hell alone.

I only voted "Nooo good" rather than the last option because "give up" is never a healthy attitude, but I would not attempt anything like this again.

Pfft. Those pictures don't look great.
You have to horrifically overuse the burn & blur tools to make your picture truly awesome.
And superimposing a larger, transparent version of the picture looks really professional, too.

I love overusing the zoom blur tool....ah, fun times. But I see that it is not widely accepted due to a PM I got. Ah well. But I don't understand that PM. The principality was on the fact that I used filters. Why sould it bother anyone?

It's fun to use, yes. But that doesn't mean it looks good.

Whoa, I din't say that. I love Adobe. I'm just saying that open-source paint programs are better, because if you know code, you can change something about them if you so desire.

GIMP is technically superior to Photoshop, from what I hear.

20 Sep 2006, 19:43
Well, i dont think a free program is better then a €300,- program. But i think Photoshop has too much abilities you dont even use. well someone will. but you give lots of money for stuff you dont even use. On that point. Gimp is better. But f*ck it all. Fireworks FTW!

Vader
20 Sep 2006, 23:05
Macromedia = Adobe.

Also, you can't base a product's quality on its price. I use Photoshop (I only have 7.0, though) but I've heard The GIMP is better.

mm..
i got photoshop 7 and gimp.. theyre both fine and maybe gimp is better in certain ways.. what has photoshop that gimp doesnot have except for a $300 price tag? but illustrator 10 still ***s all!

I have Photoshop CS2. Unless I'm missing something vital here, it's nothing special. It can apparently do a lot of things but you can't just click a button and do it, you have to read through a long tutorial.

Sorry, I've been waiting for an excuse to use that.:p

Aaaanyway, Having experience with both The gimp and Photoshop CS, not to mention Paintshop pro 4,5 7 and 8 (7 is best in my opinion as 8's interface is bewildering) and Open canvas (which realy isn't all that special), I can say that Photoshop is FAR superior.
