Side Project
So although some people might find it very childish or even laughable, I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter Books and Movies, (not so much the latest one). Anyways I hope to eventually make a game based in the Harry Potter world mainly based around the Hogwarts. It wouldn't involve any "canon" based characters.
Below is a mockup of some stuff I've been working on as usual it's 100% original content. The banners are edited versions of my old ones from my Hogwarts pack, but apart for that it's all new.

Thank you for the compliments :)
As for the movie,yes it sucked really bad. It was as ifthey decided to randomly take some pages from the book,make the scene and then stick it all together. It had no flow and I'm pretty sure they left out alot of stuff, they especially made the whole "Half-blood Price" thing a very small part, especially how Harry wouldn't get rid of it, it was almost non-existant.

Thanks for the offer, I like the look of the game and your spell system sounds awesome. However at the moment I am dedicated to sunday the 19th and our development team and I'm not the kinda person to jump ship. Good luck with it though.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Like I said the banners are just old edits so those will probably be remade at some point and made to look more like cloth/material etc. As for the depth its probably due to the lack of objects/wall decor. I'll add this stuff in eventually as this is just a simple mockup picture.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't know, my opinion is that the game looks...flat. I see that you are using shadows, but still, there is no depth. I'm no good with graphics, so I can't recommend something there.

As you can see, the items/machinery/walls in this game do not look like they are pasted to the ground.

Well ignoring the fact that its harry potter would you have any suggestions to upgrade that "alright" to something better?
