New Picture by TIY! (Biomes)

He wants us to answer the following questions:
1) Are they beautiful?
2) Are they varied enough?
3) Is the general feel of each forest cohesive?

I am speechless on what to say on this beautiful picture...

 

I just added three more that he posted!

 

YES! Tiy ftw!
I love them
Was on IRC when Tiy posted them

 

Those gear-trees looks randomly generated.I mean,look at the branches,no shadows and they look flat.Seems they're doing a good job.
Yeah

 

The secunnd last wun is mah favoritz!
I luuvs it soh mutsh ime forgeting tew spel corectly !!!1111!!1!

 

Its so... Beautiful...
Im glad i was the first one in making a thread about it!

1) Most beautiful thing i have seen for now in a game...
2) You joking? Of course!
3) Yes, i guess.

 

Beautiful: Check
Varied: 75% Check
Feel: Giga Check.

 

Did someone notice how in second pic theres two kind of trees? Purple and cyan!

 

1)Just wonderful
2)Over 9000 it's mainstream so i just say yes.
3)Heck yeah.
Well i never thought those were forests xD
Great man.
@Sarzael:yeah different tree species are normal in forests also they look very good together.

 

This is now in the news!

 

Dont get me wrong. It looks really inviting. So the following critics are on very high level.


1) Are they beautiful?
They are. I still think, the background could be polished a little bit more (see 2))
For me, the middle colors that should represent the mountains, often look like the sky.
On my first look, I thought I saw some flying things in the background.

2) Are they varied enough?
The foreground trees are great.
They really differ without losing their hooks to the graphic style.

As for the stone texture in the foreground, I think they are okeyish, but not as nice as touchy as they were in Terraria for example. Maybe you could change it a little bit in a way, where the pattern that repeats over all the stones is a little less obvious.

In the second last the trees although look a little bit like the midground trees and are visually hard to distinguish

The ground itself I think looks to monotonous. I hope the ground generation brings a lot more randomness (clay, stones, ores, ice, dirt, roots and all this)

The clouds /Sky:
I wish they werent only recolored, but maybe different skys like:
- stormy
- cloudy/rainy
- multiple moons/suns
- meteors going down (a picture of it would be enough, no need to animate the BG)

3) Is the general feel of each forest cohesive?
Great.
The only addition for me would be the scaling. Would be awesome to see some super big trees, as well as some roots-only planets.

 

1111111111111111111 Its beautiful. Ty TIY

 

#1, #2 & #4: Foreground trees do not match the background.
#2 has very strange tree transition (green white tree and purple trees).
#4 leaf placement needs some work, maybe make them a bit more dense.

Forest foreground trees may be more dense (as in more closer together), it is a forest after all.

Other than that, looks pretty sweet.

 

1) hell yeah

2) i don't get this one

3) yup

4) no corruption or something like it for me.

5) what.

6) hi.

7) dual wielding

8) random, you didn't read this did ya?

9) fine ill stop

 

Everything in the foreground is great for me!
I just hope the backgrounds are very varied in the 1.0

 

Do you like biomes, what do you think, what will you want to see?

Sorry if i maked fault.
i'm not english

 

I would like to see some "themed" biomes, about 2-3 per planet. Like forest/meadows/swamps on "forest planet" or iceberg/tundra/tayga on the "frosted planet". It could vary also, i.e. "desert planet" may have sands/oasises, or sands/ruins, or sands/junkyard etc.

 

They've just released some new screenshots!
What do you think of them?


And here is my analysis video!

 

it all looks great except its true how the foreground and background trees dont match
