Uhh... I'm using a Custom Subscreen...

The reason why the trees are a little clumped up on the bottom right is becasue south of that screen is a forest.

i know you're using a custom subscreen (but it's still laid out like Z1, which is bland and boring to me)
your subscreen is fine though. the subscreen can't kill a shot, unless it really really tries.

voted xiion.


...Would that be a certain ellipse effect I see? That certainly shouldn't be combos being used.

[Zemious]

My vote goes to Twilight_Knight because of the sprites used and screen layout.

[Titanium Justice]

I voted for TriMaster001, it's just a great looking screenshot.

[Xiion]

Heh... I will admit, I submitted this screen as a bit of a joke, just to see how people would react It's interesting to see how people respond to something completely off the wall...

And for those who are wondering, yes, that is a somewhat primitive lantern script I've got mostly working, just need to clean up some details with it before I share it...

Not actually sure which of the other three I would vote for myself... They're all about the same really...

My vote goes to TriMaster001, I realy like that palette. The others were great to, but TriMaster001's was a little bit nicer than the others.

- Great shot! But some of the house combos don't quite fit right.
TriMaster001
- This got my vote. All the tiles flow and it seems very zelda-esque.
Twilight_Knight
- Very close to getting my vote, but it was... um... I don't know Ijust liked the other one better.
xiion - 3/10
- No comment on this one.

[nicklegends]

This was a really difficult set of entries to judge.

dlbrooks34
Your screen is colorful, but I didn't like the design all that much.

TriMaster001
Well designed and well tiled, but it's not an interesting screen. :-\

Twilight_Knight
Hmm... Ahh... Meh... Good all in all, but seems squarish.

xiion
If only I knew...

Voted for dlbrooks34.

Really a mixed bag this week. I didn't see anything that really made any of these shots great.
dlbrooks34 - 6/10
I like what you were attempting with this shot, which was a cramped city, but it looks very unnatural and has poor design as well as a dull palette.
TriMaster001- 7/10
The design is solid, but not very interesting. Got a pretty palette, though.
Twilight_Knight- 5/10
This shot could've won- it definitely had the best feel out of the four. Unfortunately, I feel the random tree variety and the straight, monotonous use off the cliffs and river really took away this shot's potential.
xiion - 1/10
Well, it was risky, I'll give it that.

[SpacemanDan]

dlbrooks34
Interesting design ideas, but that pallette doesn't really look that good, detracting rom the image.

TriMaster001
Looks really nicely done, and the design is good, but the mass ammount of trees in the bottom right doesn't help the shot.

Twilight_Knight
Beautiful shot that's both colourful and nicely designed. My only problem is that it seems a little to crowded, and seems like you can't move around too much. Still, very nicely done. *Vote*

xiion
Seems like an interesting thing you've got going, but the fact that there's nothing to really look at doesn't make it a very good SotW shot. Sorry, man.

@Nicklegends: Boxy? How?

@Ebola Zaire: Random tree variaty? Absolutely not, the "hanging" GB trees are this area only, and the other trees are the standards. So I don't get what you mean, also, the cliffs are cliffs because they are quite straight, if you want to see big mountain areas of mine, this is not the area. The river is indeed straight, but I couldn't really help that. Also, where's your Knights of Cydonia avatar? I liked that one.

@blaman: Thanks, this is probably one of the most crowded screens of the area, so I guess I just submitted the wrong screen.

Well, unfortunately, this is Shot of the Week, not Map of the Week, so I can't really judge how you've mixed trees outside of this little box. SotW is all about form over function (at least in my opinion) so that's how I judge them.

[Shoelace]

This week's winner is TriMaster001! Congrats on the win this week! And I will be posting SotW 217 shortly.

Also, I know I was usually the one to do this, but /M/, can you change the sub topic to say, "This week's winner is TriMaster001." I guess I was only able to do that as a mod lol. Thanks.

[Dawnlight]

I guess my newest SoD 2.5 Enhanced Project paid off screenshot wise!

Yes! I think that's my 5th or 6th Win. Nothing from me for a while. I rarely submit to SotW.

And by the way, the Japanese caption on my screenie is "My Lips are Sealed" in English. Just to point out if you were wondering.

[ZebraStallion]

Wait, I see that TM's was put up on the front page, why wasn't mine from last week? That's REALLY disappointing...
