A Question about deciding to post in WIP Topic

#1 Post by Dimourgos »

Err I'm not quite sure if I should make a WIP Topic or not. I want a place where I can post the art progression and art concepts and stuff that has to do with the game while getting comments, but I think this might be considered just art dumping? I'm not really sure..

Would stuff like that be okay to put in the WIP section or would it be more suitable to put it in the subforum ideas or in the creative art section?

Or should I just make all the progress drawings and such in a different thread in another section and link that at the bottom of the WIP post?
Like the WIP thread would have what the game is about and the character descriptions along with the percentage progress. Meanwhile there would be a link at the bottom that goes to the other thread, where I will post the art progression and art concepts I have made instead of just continuely making sub posts/replies to my WIP thread.

What do you guys think?

If it has something to do with the game itself, then, I think it's fine! You can always do art updates (or any updates, actually) weekly, and people won't really mind. :) WiPs are for showing works in progress after all, so showing your progress in the art department is never a bad thing. :D

The only caveat is that WiP should be for art (writing, interface, etc) that will wind up in the final game. If it's not going in the final game, you should probably post in Ideas instead.
