Wow! That is very clever Victor. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Maestral.
Looking at the two images side by side there is definitely too much dark on screen in the coded version.
Your comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

Yes I agree with you both. The design difference may be a result of putting in the Parallax effect where the layers of sand have been stacked higher in frame so they move as you scroll downwards. When we put those sand layers in it darkened the whole design down and brought up the floor level. It's ...

Hi jahnocli. Thanks for the observations. unfortunately I give my art to the coder and he places it as he sees fit ( not the best way to art direct a project) but we a re a very small team of 2 I will pass your comments to him.

First working screenshot. Looks pretty close to the original concept art. The mechanics of the game are fairly straight forward. You drag your finger downwards any where on the screen to lower the monkey onto a treasure whilst being circled by menacing hungry sharks. The weight of the gold in the ba...

Hi Wes.
Thanks for the feedback. I was also in 2 minds about the trawler too. I will pass on your feedback to our coder with my reservations as well.

Here's a 3D type rendering of the monkey for an in game splash screen. Moho is just so versatile when you really dig into some of the layer shadow rendering techniques. You can achieve a really believable 3D look quite easily.

Hey thanks jahnocli!!!! Will send the shot to our coder to look at for sure. Too many image sequences can bump up the size of the final app and I know he much prefers coding in animation where he can. Cheers D.K UPDATE: Our coder says he thinks this is an emitter and not the whole script but he is g...

Ahhh....Of course. Thanks for that jahnocli! Will work on that now and post. Cheers D.K EDIT: Here's a 10 frame Bubbles cycle jahnolci. http://www.creativetvandmedia.com/Forum/Bubbles.gif I had to post a small version here as the original is 1024 pixels high (The height of the largest res device we ...

Some more items added. Treasure chests and gold coins to collect while you are diving. http://www.creativetvandmedia.com/Forum/Chest2.jpg http://www.creativetvandmedia.com/Forum/Chest3.jpg http://www.creativetvandmedia.com/Forum/GoldCoin.jpg We have also introduced a Parallax effect to the reef laye...

Hi Greenlaw. Yes! Been a lightwaver since it first came to Australia and still love it to this day although don't use it as much as I used to. Moho kinda took it's place for me being a small studio. It made it a lot quicker to output a project. Wanted to post the caustics Moho file but with the imag...

Maybe I should put bananas in the chest jahnocli? :D Here's an underwater rock. There will be several versions of this placed on parallax scrolling layers for a depth effect. http://www.creativetvandmedia.com/Forum/Rock2.jpg If any one has any ideas/suggestions please feel free to chime in. Cheers D.K

Thanks for the feedback Greenlaw :) I will keep posting bits and pieces as it progresses. Here's a gif of the trawler with a cycling flag. http://www.creativetvandmedia.com/Forum/Trawler.gif UPDATE: Trawler has been updated to a barge as it now has the ability to move across screen both ways so you ...

hi. Just want to share the development of a new mobile/tablet game app we are working on. It's called Monkey Diver! Aim is to drag a monkey to the bottom of the sea to recover treasure while avoiding Monkey Hungry sharks! Here's a preliminary layout. Cheers D.K http://www.creativetvandmedia.com/Foru...

Thanks for the responses. Managed to get the effect I was after, though it took a lot of work. Imported the grey scale image sequence from Caustics Generator 4 into Lightwave as an image sequence. Laid over a polygon as a background and set it as a transparency mask. Rendered out as a transparent im...
