[OTTD] BC Ferries
Posted: 21 Oct 2018 08:20
Hi, first time posting and first time creating a NewGRF after playing OTTD for what feels like forever.
After stumbling upon Andrew350's Washington State Ferries, I felt compelled to finally try out this NewGRF stuff with the Canadian version of WSF, BCF, because OTTD needs more ships! Also more ro-ro ships!
After choosing to create BC Ferries ship, I decided to try out making the Spirit Class ferry. I timeboxed myself to try and create this within 3 or 4 days. I was having troubles trying to get perspective, sizing, xrel, yrel and so on all correct, so most of it was trying to replicate other ship sprites have (credits to Andrew350 who's jumbo mark II which I used as a sizing guide and andythenorth's FISH ships which I also looked at to get some graphic inspiration) but I've reached the end of my time limit so I'd like to release what I have.
Current issues I've found so far are that the sprites don't really align right when they turn and the sprites don't seem too consistent for the different angles.
Feedback and tips are greatly appreciated. I'd like to improve my drawing skills so any advice or more tutorials would be appreciated!
