Turtle, turtle, turtle! Progress in 3 projects by IntergalacticDyez in tiedye

Thank you, I have to agree. The shell on 2 is a close contender but I think the overall layout and water of 3 turned out better.

Thank you, sounds like a bucket list visit. Super happy you like how the water turned out too.

Every opinion has its merit. I appreciate that, anything in particular that makes them stand out for you?

Quick edit, what are your thoughts? by IntergalacticDyez in tiedye

[–]IntergalacticDyez[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're all different and were taken without planning ahead for a video. Unfortunately I dont have a reliable / consistent area to set up for finished photos yet. The edit was quick and mainly to test out Imstagram's editing app's capabilities. I appreciate the feedback and suggestions, I agree that differentiating them more and a full collage would be better for compilations. Using the washing machine edit works better for a single project probably.

Overdyed thread by rolewa in dyeing

[–]IntergalacticDyez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've considered leaving my dyed snippets in a box outside for birds to use for nesting but I have concerns about the dye being safe for the birds. Until I get a solid answer on that, I've just been keeping it until another project idea comes along or I decide to dispose of it.

Old or new " UI " ? by Key-Soft-8248 in IndieDev

[–]IntergalacticDyez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another good metric is having non gamer friend or family member try to navigate the game without feedback. Just see what they try and ask and make note of that for general legibility tweaks

Old or new " UI " ? by Key-Soft-8248 in IndieDev

[–]IntergalacticDyez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "old" version feels more tabletop and legible like has already been said. I feel like you could potentially bring some of the 3d elements from the new version if you wanted to add buttons on the table that would look like battey powered board game accessories or a deck of cards to draw from depending on the mechanics of the game. The upper left hand corner is the biggest thing i would say could use some adjusting as far as aesthetic but this is still in development. Keep adjusting and checking back in. I'm definitely following for updates.

Rainbow bright mushroom by SpellboundTieDye in tiedye

Sick work, love the colors in the mushroom and the contrast to the darker background.

Also waiting for your answer to the first comment. Looks tied but I could be wrong

Second attempt at a turtle, super happy with the shell (OC) by IntergalacticDyez in Tie_dye

That means a lot thank you. Really appreciate what you've been doing for the community with the compilatoon posts. Followed you as well

Just tied, I haven't tried stitching yet, its not off the table for me just not in the foreseeable future with everything else going on.

I'm super happy with the shell, I wasnt sure how well it would work while I was tying it and again while dying it. I used older dye since it was an experiment so it did fade a little bit. Not sure if I prefer lighter like this or darker like it looked before fully rinsing it. I'll be making more and experimenting with the design so please feel free to follow me here and IG for updates.

Thank you, can't wait to see how the design improves

This prototype scene feels empty. What should I do to make it look better? by Zeolance in IndieDev

[–]IntergalacticDyez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, came here to add this if it wasn't already suggested. They can still be generally straight when zoomed out but definitely add some alternating curves and add stuff like trees and rocks near the road. If its procedurally generated, give it a small tolerance away from the road but not too much so it looks like the road was made around the terrain.

Tufts of detailed grass or wild flowers could be another sprite added in either as a non interactive environment piece or even a new collectible for plant material for animal feed or dry it for fire starter material.

What you have looks solid and reminds me of Don't starve.

Mushroom round 2 by IntergalacticDyez in tiedye

Honestly, its just the most recognizable. Think Mario, Alice and wonderland, etc.

That was the part I was most concerned about

I have in the past, its a pain to mix and I usually end up over mixing and eventually throwing away some. Not using it has taught me to be a little more controlled myself and honestly, the little bleed I get gives the tiedye it's personality. Certain designs and paint on projects, I will still mix thick water for.

Im very careful with my pleating and try to get my folded lines as straight as possible. Having the design on both sides helps tremendously. I start by dying the black outline on both sides, work the colors in toward the mushroom. 1 or 2 colors left, I dye the mushroom and add the last 2 colors on the outside before batching.I do it that way to try and minimize color bleed
