Current Day Progress

Not happy with the floor, I also need to fill the background more. Might try and look for birds or some shit.

You could use the birds from Hotaru's Garou stage.

As for the floor... I think it looks fine, but giving it some wear and tear could make it look better in my opinion.

Good stuff so far.

[Devon]

Thanks man, I was playing with the floor tile and added a bit of noise to it. Looks better now.

[hatter]

Yes, it's looking very realistic now!

[Devon]

I'm making some progress, I'm gonna start adding humans soon.

[SOLIDUS SNAKE]

I have the perfect song for it, once completed.lol

PM Me and I'll add it as alt. music in the release.

[SOLIDUS SNAKE]

You could have multiple versions of this. Rainy,overcast,sunny with a the sun going down. Also, having a glare effect from the sun. Rainy, having lighting and thunder with good lighten effects. Puddles on the ground from the rain, having the water run off the edges of the roof. So many things and possibilities, oh yeah a bill board, with animation. Just another one of your fans, speaking out.lol

[Devon]

Let's not get too carried away lol, I can barely do this right let alone think about different versions. Also I'll take you up on the offer of testing, but I'll give you a pre-release build once I finish my dailies.

My palettes are also a humongous mess btw, actual spritework isn't a strong point.

Gonna be searching for mountain backgrounds to place behind the city, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

[SOLIDUS SNAKE]

I like to keep ideas crazy, that way it open up for actual neat ideas.lol I will keep my eye's open for you and that's fine for the pre-release test. Keep us in tuned and good luck my man. You could probably hit up Oldgamer, Exshadow ,Girlsfriendlilbro for help. I know these vet's don't mind helping, also Cybaster's stage tool.

[Ex☆Cham]

Looking good there, tho yes looks kinda empty back there (which you already mentioned) so... Probably just missing either a good and fiting sun sprite (if you plan to keep the stage style to pixels only) or FX (Shiny photoshop stuff)

As for montains... Probably these from samurai Showdown 5
https://www.spriters-resource.com/arcade/samuraishodown5/sheet/62629/
may fit there (also the clouds) but you may need to cut everything out.

[Devon]

Thanks guys for the suggestions, I decided to go with the samurai showdown one.

This is probably my last daily. Provided nobody has anymore suggestions, tomorrow I'll send out pre-releases for anyone who wants to check the stage out (only the 4:3 Version will be ready for that).

[MatreroG]

Amazing work till now. I wish you the best with this proyect.

[YugaCurry]

This is probably my last daily. Provided nobody has anymore suggestions

The floor still feels empty so maybe you could add used soda cans from the sf3 stage(Ken/ Alex) or some other articles lying around. Some graffiti on the yellow wall and leaves blowing past. Maybe some movement for the clouds, etc.

[TheRedBeast]

looks good so far my firend

[Markpachi]

Wow, that parallax and depth! 

[PeXXeR]

Looks amazing, I would totally add some soda cans like yuga suggested. Maybe add one of those air vent things that looks like a chimney or a chimney lol, or maybe dirt on the floor stuff like that. Also some flying birds in the background, tatsu has some in his Kiri stage, check them out if you want or use the MOW ones.

[SOLIDUS SNAKE]

I love everything you have cooking, maybe add moving clouds or glare from the sun. Seems like everything else is shaping up in the right direction. I will to check it out again, to see if there is anything else. Good job so far.

I had made a few changes before I had suffered a massive hdd meltdown that had both of my disks in my RAID 1 array fail. What does this mean? Well, I wanted to release the stage this week so I can move on to some lifebars I designed but it looks like I'll be spending the next week recovering my programs and lost files. I'm lucky I kept my MUGEN stuff on a separate disk but I'll be pushing forward with a release for Friday whether I get the changes I want in or not.
