Throwing this out there. Not trying to start flame/troll.

I don't expect any criticism, hell, it's a privileged to even have people out there to judge my production. Though, I feel if someone hasn't received any review then I will post my thoughts. This thread is dedicated to peer sharing and opinions on art.

I just find it funny how you used the exact same tiles as I. The same Early Autumn palette, the same trees, bushes, and mountains.

I only use the tiles that Gonken released to all of us, just saying. icon_shrug.gif

You had no problem when other people used these tiles....

Also, did you ever think that I could be using the Early Autumn palette because I like it? icon_rolleyes.gif

Guys, we are not going to repeat going down this road again about accusations of stolen screens, as well as going on the defensive. That discussion ends here. Don't forget what happened last time. We don't need the community going up in a hissy fit over similar looking screens. But nothing.

Oh for f***'s sake. Jared. They're tiles. Anyone is allowed to use them. Same with palettes. Just because someone uses the same tiles does not mean they're "copying" you. These screen-design-thievery accusations need to stop because quite frankly I and nearly everyone else I know is sick of this bulls***. Unless you have undeniable proof that someone is "stealing" your ideas, don't say anything at all. And no, "he used the same tiles/palette I used" is not undeniable proof. And if it's a concept, consider maybe the concept wasn't your idea at all, but was already found in a game that someone else happened to think was a good idea as well. Or maybe someone saw you were using a concept from another game, thought, "Hey, that's a good idea," and decided to use it as well. They don't have to credit you for that, ya know. So please... grow up and get over it.

Okay then, you do that.

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.

I'm not entirely certain what criticism I should give you; it looks amazing. Does it function as a playable area (with scripts and stuff)?

It's a real, 2.5 Metroid bred with Zelda quest. Eventually I will make a thread, but I still have many features to implement first. No scripts, just creative use of what's available.

For Joe123. If you were around Summer of 09'?, you'll know why.

Well, it seems that I'm pretty good at DoR tileset, although its not very easy to use, it allows me to express my screen designing ability (Not bragging or anything.)

Oh wow, I thought he was new because I assumed he just started posting making me believe he was new... Yeah, Joined Date is a better method. icon_doh.gif

Not bad Dragonite... Even though this looks better then your "plain and simple" PR quest, I want to see your PR quest finished.

BTW the top of the stairs are to far into the mountains. Perspective clash right there. Also the water hitting the mountains are meant for the LttP perspective and not GB/MCs.

It only looks good because it was based off of 3 or more of your screens that look exactly like that. That village is getting boring and repetitive if you ask me. icon_shrug.gif

I suggest coming up with something completely new with DoR like a volcano, a snowy map, etc.

Well, that isn't completely new icon_smile.gif Me and Shiek have made both winter and volcano areas with the DoR tileset icon_razz.gif and i'm sure others have too.

And for the screens by Dragonite, they look like standard DoR screens icon_smile.gif and If you look to be unique the best way is to make custom palettes, atleast that's what I found when using DoR.

Marco - great screen. Is the character going to change? It clashes a bit with the rest of the awesomeness.
