|Environmental psychological horror| - Sallience

Alright, I started on this a looong time ago, and found it while snooping around my Hard drive... I'm gonna start working on it again...
Basically, It's a VERY environmental game, with psychological horror elements in, too.
I'm taking some pointers from the trilby series, if you know what that is .
Right now, I've got only 1 ambient song, and a mid - sized world... It's only a bit where you get to explore around.
Anyway, screenies, I have them.

Here are some screens of the three environments I have so far (Check attachments)

Any updates will be posted in this thread.

Off-topic, Does anyone know what the best color for "Transparency" is?
Right now I'm just using 1% opacity for the transparency, but it's kinda noticeable...

Looks very awesome, I'll be waiting for the finished version! Also, if you're using GIMP or a similarly advanced editor, you should look into alpha channel editing for transparency; if you're using something else like MS Paint, you can use magenta (255,0,255).

Oh, and remember, this is an extreme alpha - even more artsy stuff will come in later...

Yeah, I was using gimp, but I can't go 100% transparency, or KS will give me an error...
Now I have Photoshop, I'll be looking into how to use it for this, and see if it works any better.

KS gives an error if there's a whole tile completely transparent other than the top left tile. if it's just parts of tiles, it should work just fine.

Looks nice. The first screen especially.

I use Gimp without trouble. I agree with Miss Paula's prognosis.

I understaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...

I just use Microsoft photo editor for setting transparencies.   I know its old and kinda crappy but it works perfectly for my purposes.   I just use a single color for background then set it to transparent when ready.

Tribily series? i loved them!
Love the screens and can't wait to know what this 'story' is about 

Alright, umm, just a short update, but I've finished 3 more songs, and I've got plans for a small puzzle level, If I figure out some things... aaand I'm working on some of the horror element too.
That is all.

Just noticed this.  Looking forward to it.  Look cool.

Small update:
I haven't been working on this much due to my graphics card being out of wack, but I did draw a small level design, and worked more on the story.
1 more song finished, too.

Cool, though I hope your gfx-card isn't terminal. I'm really looking forward to seeing this level, the screenshots look gorgeous.
Even the sky alone is really appealing, somehow, aswell as the thickly-banded gradient on the floating islands.

I just realised i love that tileset your using, its amazing.
Now im really pumped for this level!
