Upgrade Time #2.5: Graphic Creation Time-Lapse
This is a bonus part in this small series of videos where I'll show how I'm typically doing graphics for Oric productions.
In the previous video I said that the next stage would be to add graphics to each of the game locations, but then I was told that it would actually be cool if I could show how I was doing the graphs.
Since this is kind of a long process here is a 15x accelerated time lapse showing the creation of three pictures for the game, which are for the following locations:
24 - You are in an imposing entrance hall
27 - You are on a sweeping staircase
42 - You are on the main landing
I picked up these ones because they are actually parts of the very same room, making it important to keep consistency between the three pictures.
The pictures and all other files are available at http://miniserve.defence-force.org/viewvc/projet1/users/dbug/UpgradeTime/Encounter
About Encounter:
"Encounter" (also known as "Encounter Adventure") is an Oric game released in 1983 by Severn Software.
This is a classical text adventure where you enter text commands and the computer answers by describing what happens, where you are, items you can find around.
The music is from the Amiga version of the game "A Prehistoric Tale", composed by Jochen Hippel.
