So I opened this topic to get feedback and suggestion from everyone to make this stage awesome also to note this is my first stage also that i am a complete beginner at codingPreview vid Thanks to MugenFanFiction123ame Comp winner is Saikoro!
the sun effect is from tatsu's other version of ayutayaI'm also thinking of adding either Nash or Guile maybe even cammy in the stage what do you guys think
Your shadows need to be fixed. Since the sun is in the back, the shadows need to be cast in front of the objects.
Thanks YogaCurry I will probably fix that before the next little update thanks for comment Flowrellik I also need to get rid of the sky and cloud and use the sky and clouds that tatsu used unless I find something better either way it's going to a pain in the @$$ to rub out the sky Here are some names me and my school freinds came up with What do you guys thinkSunrise ShipSunrise/Sunset NostalgiaSunrise/Sunset Memory LaneYeah we suck at making up names
It was a pain in the @#$ but i did it here's a concept i just need to try and blend the clouds more in and add a few more clouds also do the shadows if you see something wrong other then the things i list above please post it and i will see if I can fix itoh and don't worry about the Sunset tint will show guys what it looks like with it hopefully tomorow
Not to be a pain but you could throw in a plane or something cause right now it feels a little empty. Since you're using tatsu stage elements already, you could borrow the jet from his 'base' stage. Whatever floats your boat man.
No man your no pain I know that feels empty I was just to lazy to put in the officer from tatsu's stage also guile who I need permission from Jmorphman to use the sprites unless I can find some open source one also hopefully one where it looks like there's wind like in tatsu's officers and about the plane I will see if I can make it blend in with everything also to make it more fun anyone who come's up with a name for it will get all the beta's of the stage until it's released because I have a habit of stoping everything if it gets to hard to do or get boring, the name of the stage will be decided by the public I need at least 4 or 5 names for it to open a poll so other people can vote
Thank you just gave me an idea I could use the flags from tatsu's Geese Tower stage, name added to first post
hmmm. So far this stage is fighting on a United States Aircraft Carrier, preferably a design similar to the Kittyhawk class AC with one ship of this line, USS John F. Kennedy (thank you High School History class). Another thing is the number on the Bridge *Command center* looks like 67 which is the Kennedy's ship number (CV-67), SO if I were to give it a name I'd say "CV-67 USS John F.Kennedy". Would be good for either Nash/Guile or the Ikari Warriors.
Naming the stage.... Hmmm...How about something like Sunset Landing Strip, or Sunset Carrier?? You could also go nuts with Top Gun references, like Sunset Maverick, Iceman's Landing, Wingman's Landing or Goose is Dead: Sunset Edition. While the Top Gun ones are more along the lines of jokes, you should defintiely have Sunset as the prefix and something to do with naval ships as the suffix. This is looking great by the way. I really like your progress. Keep up the good work.
I'm with Sai on this one for as the names and keeping Sunset in the mix. Also, that new sky is looking very smooth. looking forward to seeing the flags in the back ground. Food for thought, how about making the ship sway from side to side. I mean it could be moving slowly up and with an shake, from time to time. Also, have a rainy version with puddles and lighting in the back ground. Snowy version probably could work as well, minus the officers. Also, adding a moving sky would be awesome as well. Good luck and keep us posted buddy.
I don't know if it was the intention, but this looks like UMVC3's stage "S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier"... and I love it
Thanks for the comments everyone BOSS I lke the idea of the ship shaking up and down from time to time and I was al thinking of adding the moving sky, all I need to do now is keen how rouse parallax and study stages with shaking in them, thanks for the names everyone they all sound pretty good the poll will be up in a minute

Fallen said, November 10, 2014, 10:04:03 pmNever mind I will just close it and do a new please vote againNo problem.
Here's a little update i am going to make 2 version probably unless i can make the tint and stage blend in better
The sky and those clouds look a lil funky. They don't blend too well dude, especially the first screenshot.
yeah i know i will see what i can do to make the sky blend in and about the animated water i have no idea where to get them or make them if someone could help me out with that would be a great help
You need to recolor the sky and clouds for better blending for the evening transition. As for animated water, you should have a look through other low res stages and see if you can find one that fits.
i see thanks for the help watta one last thing the 2 versions will only be different in terms of the tint and the one i started of with then the one with new sky and clouds sorry if it doesn't make sense since i have to finish my homework by today so i am in a rush
I recollect that Caddie's stage for Terry from MOTW has animated water. You could maybe look into that.
WizzyWhipitWonderful said, November 12, 2014, 01:13:39 amFelt this was appropriate...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XosPTNRGJ40Thanks for the soundtrack man I will be sure to use that for the stage also thanks for the name rock and a note to everyone if you want to vote for Metal Harbour please post since I have no idea how to add it to the poll again and I will also release a vid in about 2 days so stay tuned everyone
sorry about the late post my internet has been really slow also the reason the video will be delayed again sorry Gomen Nasai!!!yeah the building and the poles needs a little work, does the water(from electro's awesome stage edits) blend in? also hows the new sky (yeah i kinda forgot about re-colouring the cloud) the flag is on hold until i can blend all the elements I already have
I think you should get rid of the turquoise at the horizon or make it a shade closer to the rest of the ocean.
Perfect dude! I'm glad you're open to suggestions and feedback. You've just made an awesome stage. I'm psyched and can't wait for the release. Work on the shadows when you get a chance. Nice job.

Work on the shadows when you get a chance. Nice job. Thanks man glad you like it, and I will always be open to suggestiin and feedback since I am still new to coding and what not, also it makes the final result look more amazing then what one person thought off (soooo cheesy ) on another note should I re-colour tbe sky or is it good as it is, I still think it needs a little work and the shadows will be done last since I want to get all the other stuff done so I don't have to keep on doing shadows as I add more stuff in
Yes, recolor the sky. The light color of the sky around the clouds can be made consistent for the rest of the sky as well. You could maybe throw in a few more clouds, just to fill the sky a little more.
Yeah I figured I needed to re-colour thank for the suggestion man I will see what I can do until then stay tunned everyone
Food for thought on added animation, how about adding signal lamps. They could go around the top, on the end of the antennas. They would fit perfect and if you cannot find any flags. You could probably add some lamps, on the poles as well. That way, you would be giving the filling of dawn approaching, in the night version. Looking good bro, keep us posted.
Thanks for the food Boss itadakimasu, but sadly I am not doing a night version but maybe in the future after I finish this stage and a port pack for origins, I already have a flag ready to go I just wanted to make all I have now all blend in together also the fact that I'm lazy and I will be sure to use the lamp idea if I get to the night version
i thought i should show you the flag i am going to use though it need to be re-worked to blend it all in if you guys have other flags you would like me to use instead of this one please post
hmmm I like the design so far. You should make the flagpole itself more KOF-ish Neogeo Shading to match it with the stage. The flag itself is PERFECT, no need for editting. Just the flagpole.Also if you plan on adding an Mp3 for this, I suggest Strange Sunset from Street Fighter EX Series (very fitting).

Looking good bro, keep us posted.This.Aside from that, and the feedback you've received, I should definitely take notes from you. This stage is really, really, great. Good luck, and keep us posted.
Thanks for the feedback comments Black hatter and Flowerlilk, i will see what i can do about the flagpole and the stage is going to be open source mostly for beginners like me i also hope to release the stage by the 20th December look forward to it everyone and thanks for the MP3 bro
if someone could find me some mountains or islands as a backdrop that would be really helpful I would do it myself but my internet is crap and I can't rip any sprites because of my even more crappy laptop from school
Sorry about the late post everyone just been lazy for the past few days because of school and other issues also lost motivation for a while but i am back with FFFUUUULLLLL PPOOOWWWWEEERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sadly this is just a minor update since i spent too much time searching for sprites but in the end i found nothing good also if anyone is willing to beta test for me, just PM me that would be great since i won't have much time because i have to go work with my dad over holiday which is in about 1 or 2 weeks or so
I recorded the stage found a remix version of the "Strange Sunset" Theme so what do you guys think about the stage?
Stage is a classic so far, looking very smooth and fluid. I believe you are on the right track, now add the other features. Than you might when classical stage of the year. Keep up the hard work and I prefer the original song, remix was cool still.
Nice vid man but sorry I forgot about the clouds just open the def file scroll down until you see this ; [BG Cloud] then delete this ; then save it again and the clouds will show up this to all beta testers and sorry I kinda forgot about it since I was in a rush and yeah there will be 2 mp3 to chose from
That stage came out sexy as fuck. Must have it NAOW! stage remix is cool but i think the normal theme would have went better....its that badass sunset in the background that makes me think of SF EX guile stage haha....(eh maybe add both Bgms in the folder as an option?)
Thanks Demonkai glad you like at first I thought it would turn out bad considering this is my first time but hey I guess I was and don't worry about the mp3 I will add the original strange sunset aswell and I got a 4 day holiday because of parent teacher interviews so I can probably finish the stage in that time limit mostly cause I don't want to think about the report
For sure man you did well for your first shot Yeah that would be a nice lil treat for us to have two versions of that BGM in the folder so thanks for including both. And yeah man good luck with the parent teacher situation haha. I remember how those were Ill be looking forward to downloading the stage when its ready!
so i went looking for plane sprites i could use for the stage and i found this so what do you guys think should i use this or find something else
hmm that plane looks hot i got to see how it looks in action on the stage or an image. i cant tell if it will blend in or not
sadly the plane took a dive in the ocean(it didn't look great after it goes behind the building) so i sent you the new awesome sauce no extra charges
Eehhh?? okay then how about this I will release this stage no matter how bad it is in 3 weeks time unless my parents take away my laptop during those weeks hows that for extra sauce!
Luckily my parent teacher interview went great i just wanted to ask if anyone had any kind of suggestions please post even if it's crazy because i still think i need to add something to fill up the sky and i don't want to add too many clouds like i said GO CRAZY WITH THE SUGGESTIONS PEOPLE!!!!
Sorry about the late post had some school issues to deal with one of the teachers did something wrong with my timtable for next year anyway I will see what I can do about the birds
here's how my stage looks so far i just need to recolour the plane and add the same plane but smaller to give more depth it will be hopefully be out by this friday
Awesome to know man, but what about those panel lights. If you don't add, I understand and appreciate this much. You have really out done yourself bro. Also, did any of those codes work for the motioning of the ship.
I am still working on the panel lights and yeah I slowed down the ship and finaly timed it correctly thanks for your support man
The sun seems a little odd. I dont know how to explain exactly. Maybe set it farther back or reduce the glare. I like that you added buildings. Just a few more edits here and there and you are good to go.
I will see if I can reduce the glare and I am guessing this but is it because of the transperent purple ish orange around the sun?
ExShadow said, December 09, 2014, 06:09:33 amSpectators in the back look too big compared to everything else in that same distance IMOThis^If you want to accomplish a sunset looking sky, why don't you use orange - ish colors instead of a blue sky/ocean? The overlay can only help you that much. Everything else looks great.
@Fallen: That and reduce the sun size a bit. I see the great exshadow has graced us with his presence. His advice is sound. I guess you could increase the size of the control tower and equipment.

I see the great exshadow has graced us with his presence. His advice is sound. I guess you could increase the size of the control tower and equipment.I will do just that, na i am too lazy to cut out the tower and equipment of the ship also resizing it might ruin the quality more (means I am too lazy) so I am just going to resize the officers and guile and hopefully I doesn't look bad well I will see how it goes but not today my parents friends are here for dinner with three little kids annoying because it's really loud well bye for now (SAVE ME!!!!!! )
Sorry guys but the stage is being delayed again to tell you the truth i am getting tiered of these delays but i am to lazy to start a new stage the thing is some of the younger students were fooling around in the gym and one of trip over my bag while dragging his friend with him on top of my bag that's when i heard a crack from my bag but luckily it was just my lunch box and unluckily the laptop screen just had a black screen but there was volume just no video output so the school techies are trying to fix it but i won't get it back for a while and i didn't have any other back-up for the stage sorry for the delay again
Well, dang that sucks and glade it wasn't your arm or leg that crack. Things happen and that's life, if you ever get the opportunity. Please try to complete this stage, it would well the wait. You put so much energy into it. Just don't throw it away, if anything release as is. If not that maybe you can pass it on to someone you trust, to complete it.
Yeah of course I am going to complete it after all the help I had I can't let it all go to waste now can I I know it maybe cheese, also thanks for your consern man
aw man that sucks with the lap top man. well at least you didnt get hurt. im going to send you a PM in a bit
