It is? Oh well. My point, Add + Sub layer is the answer to Watta's problem.

I agree, I never thought of that.

I'm just saying Jean's is wrong.

I'll just try them both out and see which one is better.

Anything from Jean trying to fake anti-alias makes me sad.

Lol Diss.

Yo GLB, here's the cage, I think it should be darker =P

Plus I gotta put that rain in as well. I've started the glowing sprites too

I agree. Darker may help.

Suggestion, holes/broken mesh links on the cage.

Yes darker, some holes/broken mesh like Mark suggested is cool too. Perhaps a slight trans? It just stands out a bit too much right now.

Definitely darker. Also the floor could use shadowing in the front.

I was thinking the same thing when I made my last comment. But I wasn't sure if it would make sense. But yea, I think it stands out a little to much. But I think making it darker will have already solved that...

Perhaps, but you have to also think he's trying to make his background more stand-out.

Now that's the main idea! Achieving that goal will create the desired outcome.

dat feedback

BTW what did you mean by shadow in the front Diss?

Maybe he meant shadow on the floor made by the cage, walls, etc.

aight

Also, go to chat. NOW!

Updates:

-Most basic coding done
-Fixed the clashyness of the cage a bit more
-Added some rain from squirlz
-Made 4 glowing animations. The one on the far left glows fast, the one attached on the left side of the pillar glows constantly but flickers every now and then, the one right glows at a medium pace. I still need to make the one on the top glow. Plus the green building in the middle has a slow glow too.

Screens:

What's left?

-fix the cage completely
-get all the glowing stuff in (some more signs and some of the rooms in the building on the right)
-add a spotlight
-add puddles on the ground
-add shadows to the ground
-maybe animate the train?
-still looking for a good BGM

There's still many many things that need to be done, but things are moving at a good pace right now.

2 things I don't like:
#1. Cage color. I think it should remain black.
#2. The BG looks too dim right now. It's not a bad thing really but seeing the parts with light looking dark is not a good idea imo.

Why does your rain cut off so short? I don't think it's large enough man. Cage is getting there, just needs a bit more work. Maybe it's just me but I personally like the cage color it should just be a bit more see through. As far as a BGM goes, Alp should have you covered.

Yeah I'm working on the evil cage. I can easily fix the BG too, I think I put another overlay on that to see what it would look like and forgot to take it off

I think the rain is fine, its probably just the screenshot. I had a look at your Rooftop stage and made the rain based off that but longer in length, I'm sorta experimenting with that right now

I already have a trans = add on the cage, is there any way I make it more transparent?

and as for the BGM

. Cage lacks a silhouette shadow effect for the floor.
. Give it an emboss effect for the cage so that way it wouldn't be just one single color.

Crap I keep on forgetting about the shadow, Thanks Diss

Addalpha and use the alpha settings. I taught you this already.

Bish! I didn't know you could put more than one Trans

Change "Add" to "Addalpha" and use "Alpha = 256,256" code separately under it editing the 256 numbers of course.
