Good fire animations
Good fire animations
We had a thread about good rocks graphics ( viewtopic.php?f=7&t=736 ), why not make it about good fire graphics and good fire animations ?
I'm not asking totally out of boredom actually I would like to see it done properly to have start point and inspiration for my games graphics.
I remember Dizzy games have all these torches and generally a lot of fire in them:
Any other good stuff?

Re: Good fire animations
There should be loads but I'm struggling to find them.
The burning chalices in Sword of IANNA are quite good (~4.50 in the RZX) but you're probably thinking of something more full bodied. Then I remembered the fireplace in Brunilda and was astonished to (re)discover that it was a pasable FLASH animation!
I'm rather pleased with my random frame fire animations in El Stompo, but you probably don't fancy dipping your toe into bicolour.

Re: Good fire animations
If we're blowing our own trumpets , I was quite pleased with the colour-clash-free wall torches in Balachor's Revenge. I doubt anyone ever notices them, though, as they only appear in the frantic last stage when you are unlikely to be admiring the scenery .
Re: Good fire animations
It's been a while so the following may be incorrect:
-Phantomas?
-Myth?
-Abu Simbel Profanation?
I know there are dozens of them, but none come to mind. This reminds me of when I asked (years ago) which games had good castle-like graphics.

Re: Good fire animations
I thought the same so I've checked their maps to confirm and there's no fire animations, even in Phantomas 2 that takes place in Dracula's castle. Myth do have.
In Spirits (Topo Soft) there are plenty of torches and candles:

But it's hard to think about any other games with them.
Re: Good fire animations
Yes, a lot of torches and candles in Spirits, and even some bigger fire under a cauldron. But the quality is nothing special.
And now I remember a "sea of fire" in Savage:

Re: Good fire animations
it would be nice to see the animation frames, somewhere, in a PNG (all frames) or animated GIF.
Some of the references, we can only see a blurry video.
Games like "Balachor's Revenge", and others, which are hard to get to the place where the animation is, can't be seen with the attention they deserve.

Re: Good fire animations
Don't have time to confirm if they're good or not, but these games have fire animations:
Underworlde
Dizzy
Death Stalker
Fairlight
Sir Fred

Re: Good fire animations
Now I remember a fire animation in Phantomas 2 (Vampyre), near the start, you have to pass over a table with two candles and wait when they have no fire. It's a small animation, though.
Re: Good fire animations
I recently stumbled into a an old DK' Tronics game called Trom, and we where impressed by the fire animation.

Re: Good fire animations
I did a fire animation for Apulija-13. I reworked it several times but in the end I was pleased enough with the result.

Re: Good fire animations
Just discovered that in Las Tres Luces de Glaurung by Erbe, there's a good fire animation in the first screen to the right of the start.

Re: Good fire animations
Does the fire in Sabre Wulf when you hang around too long on one screen count? I guess it does, but is it good?

Re: Good fire animations
I like that effect a lot. The ones with the shades on look a bit erratic though.djnzx48 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 11:58 am Fire 'n Ice has these nice flickering wall torches:
