Oh man... I love that screen. The way the cliff hangs over the edge is just... awesome. Honestly, I'm a bit jealous. My only suggestions would be to use the four detailed grass tiles instead of the basic one you used, and to maybe use a few of the tiles of the grass growing in the mountain's cracks for a little variety.

Basically what Russ had said. I really like this screen Link128. It's a very attractive screen! icon_biggrin.gif

A lot of newbies work with DoR. Some pulled though, some didn't. But this... this is a prefect example on how to use DoR.

Well, "newbies". He's around five years longer than you are.
As for the actual screen it's not bad but I don't feel it. The mountain formation doesn't look very good to my eyes.

Looking better, but the sky clashes with DoR because it's a bit too simple. Why not try using a background from another game like Yoshi's Island or something?

By that logic DashSim is one of the best questmakers on this site. icon_razz.gif Time!=experience.

The term newbie does simply mean that you are new to a comunity or similar. It doesn't say anything about skill or whatever.

Anyway, I also like the screen. I would try to detail the sky a little more, though.

Criteria, for you

While it's a map, I don't feel it's complete to be in the map thread. Never-less, this is what I feel beauty is. Thank you marijuana.

So, it's somewhat incomplete, might I add.

Not bad... in fact, very good. I'm loving what I'm seeing. But c'mon, find a tileset you like and use it already. Seems like everytime you get good at one, you switch to a new one.

But my...you skipped...didn't even criti...whatever, it's fine.

Average DoR screens, 6.5/10. Yes, these shots are to par in standard of DoR. However, I feel that it borders on the edge of being crammed. Even so, you did a good job with the direction paths, if it makes sense.

I like it a lot! It looks very playable, and the tiles are well used together.

Yoshi...really. REALLY.
