The bottom part of some screens (for example mine) got whitened out. Almost the whole screen of gray0x got whitened out. Is this an issue for others, too?

I am having the same problem. For now, we wait.

Joe123 got my vote!
I also really like Nuvo's shot, but, their's a few things in it I dislike, like the grass pallete.

[Dawnlight]

Here's my new rating system. Basically the one who has the highest grade gets my vote.

Majora: Nice but the trees look too flat
Grade: C

LostInHyru1e: Nice mine tiles! You really used it well. I already gave you my rating.
Grade: B


CastChaos: I got confused about the center until I saw those beamos firing a laser. Nice shot overall.
Grade: B-


Gray0x: Nice desert shot. Everything flows correctly.
Grade: A-


Joe123: Just like grayox. Just don't make it look like Link and Epona is standing on top of a cactus.
Grade: A


Nuvo: Finally Something New!!! Reminds me a lot of FFVI.
Grade: A

It's a toss up. But in the end it has to be Joe123.

Uh-Oh, here comes Migokalle! What will he do to make us feel bad today!?

There's ALOT of great shots today... but...
For some reason... I'll go wiiiith....
Nope... you'll have to wait a little longer:

In random order, I present my reviews:

CastChaos: While I love the tiles you've used, along with good screen design, I just don't dig the palette.
The colors seems mixed in a wrong way... I THINK it's just the warp tiles though...

LostInHyru1e: What a TOTALLY great dungeon shot!
I TOTALLY love it! Nothing wrong with it... at all...

Nuvo: While I think you should add another color to the grass, the screen design is great here too... dungeons/caves/interiors are hard to get looking right... but you did it, mah friend!

Gray0x: Somehow, I love this screen too! You didn't cover all the corners, but it looks simply amazing!
Great work... now keep it up!
And don't listen to the ones that will say ''Nah, cover your corners''... I'm usually one of them, but you did it perfectly fine without doing it... I don't think I can do that yet
Awesome work!

Joe123: WOAW! That must be... WOW! ANOTHER great screenshot from you... and ANOTHER greatDESERT shot from you too!
Totally pwnage... But still no sign of my tiles in there jk...
You Joe, should never stop doing this... cause you rock!
This is the best shot this week...

So... I guess you've figured who I voted for....
Oops, we've got one more left, don't we?
Yes we do...

Majora: Majora, Majora, Majora.... Maaaajoraaa...
MA-HA-JO-RAAA!!!
Now... this.... is... uch... how am I supposed to say this?
This is... totally... AWESOME!
Seriously... I love it... I... I don't know why... it's not because of the trees... not because of any of the tiles, really... but it's so awesome....
I think it's the feel of it... I... I'm in love, Majora...
Thanks for making me feel this... cause that screen rules...
I've played your quest... and I'm gonna be honest to ya...
It doesen't feel like a zelda quest.... but it feels like somthing else... somthing... maybe not bigger... but somthing just as good...
Sure, the screendesign may need some work... but you rock Majora... just don't make the moon crash...
My vote goes here....


Wow... what a positive week.... I must be in a happy mood... wonder why...

[Joe123]

Nulled of course.

Don't worry Migo, I've got some shots coming up with them in
I was using them this morning in fact.

They're just in a more notherly area than where the last couple of screens were from.

I must say though, I really like LiH's.
I can see why TM001 was going on about it so much before =P

Awesome work!

I actually did make the corners unwalkable, but it's just well hidden

It looks like we have a very intersting selection of screenshots this week. Lot of good stuff in addition to lots of uniqueness.

Majora - 6/10
I like those trees a lot. The rest of the screen is not bad either. I am wondering if there is a way to get the rest of the screen to blend in better with those trees, though. For the subscreen portion, I am not a fan of the slashes used for the map name, but I do like the parchment for B and A.

LostInHyrule - 8/10
Now this is what I call excellent usage of tiles. If the rest of the mines is of similar quality, then I anticipate both great design and gameplay.

CastChaos - 6/10
Interesting. Good detail. I am not a fan of the 45 degree angle corners. But the screen does seem to have some personality to it. Not sure what else to say.

Gray0x - 6/10
I love the sandstorm effect and the great variety of tiles being used. My criticism would be that some of the contours are still quite box-like and the arrangement of the Oasis looks a bit awkward.

Joe123 - 8/10
I am loving these desert tiles and the color choices. I am not sure if the tree by the chest is fitting with this terrain though. I really like everything in the subscreen portion.

Nuvo - 7/10
Now this is something new to me. I love all the tile choices except maybe Link (seems out of place with the rest of the screen).

My tie-breaking vote goes to Joe123 for extra creativity and riskyness.

[Aslion]

Majora - The trees look flat, too outlined, and out of place. And cramped. And not related to the shot, but holy crap, a Death Knight, slow walk combos, and cramped space.

LostInHyru1e - Good... mine shot. Nothing much though, seems like a simple dungeon.

CastChaos - Beamos!

Gray0x - That is the worst shot I've ever seen in ZC.

Joe123 - Looks... generic? Good shot though.

Nuvo - Nice tiles, looks like a good SNES game

Nulled of course.

[CastChaos]

Altough, some screens still loaded mutatedly, I found a way to view them normally (right click, open image, refresh page).

Majora: No. Too few colours, too bland water, too bland screen and... trees growing out from solid ice? I rather choose the death knights.

LostInHyru1e: Very nice, pleasant screen. No errors in layout. Great.

CastChaos: It's-a me!

Gray0x: A cloudy desert? I love the design. Is that grayness a transparent pond?

Joe123: I love the design. Epona's sole existence is cool, too. I also love the subscreen hearts.

Nuvo: I overall love it. Probably any modification would just ruin the current awesome feeling. Somehow, it's Cave Story-ish to me. Probably because the green grass underground.

[Aslion]

Gray0x: A cloudy desert? I love the design. Is that grayness a transparent pond?

Well, its blue. But yeah, transparent, small, dried up oasis.

[Joe123]

Joe123 - Looks... generic? Good shot though.

Just out of interest, what makes it generic?

And what makes it so much more generic than yours?

EDIT: I'm winning
I only ever entered once before and I lost about 35 - 2 to Radien or something, it really ruined my confidence for the competition.

It just looks like a desert, I didn't mean it in a bad way or anything.
And never said anything about mine, I just have a poor choice of words.

[Joe123]

Ah, fair enough.
I'm not insulted or anything don't worry, I was just wondering what about it made it generic.
