That's basically the point. Certain tilesets are made in certain styles.

That makes so much sense, thanks for concluding the discussion.

Anyways, it seems every time I post SotW, I seem to forget to post about who I voted for. This time, I voted for Ebola. The screen design on that show is really good, draws more attention than the other shots.

Ay! No need to kill off a good debate so quickly as long as we can keep it civil, right TM?

To /M/, I think it's not right to say he had the "wrong" terminology, 'cause what I was asking was his opinion. And opinions, by definition, can't be either wrong OR right; they're just how a person sees the world.

What I think, though, is that based on what TM and /M/ said, there's a distinction between Tileset Style and Quest-Designing Style. I think the two need to go hand-in-hand... yet, there are many ways each Set can be utilized "most" effectively; some optimal Design Styles are shared by the same Tileset, while some are split to work with many Tilesets and not just one... while some matchups are just not compatable. Like, how TM said you can't design a DoR Quest with the Classic Tileset Style, but you CAN design it in the PTUX Style if you wanted-- it just would come out differently.

I imagine it like a pasta recipe. You have the Noodles and the Sauce; one represents Tileset, one represents the way you make your Quest. There will be compatabilities with certain noodles and sauce, and there will be incompatabilities.

Either that, or I'm just making this really really confusing for everyone.

Anyway, I'm a fan of TM's Design Style... It's pleasing on the eye; not too busy to look at, just pure PTUX gravy on top of some delish 2.5b Mashed Potatoes.

Ebola's this week is more like a complex Spinach Tuna Casserole. Still good, but too many flavors to digest at once. That and his screenshot is too dark for me to see that well.

I wasn't joking, nor was I being mean. I am really clamoring for whatever quest these screenshots of Zaire's represents! Finish it! rawr! Heck, just look at my sig, I support it!

Well, uh, thanks! And stuff.

[Lune]

All three are very nice screens.

[Titanium Justice]

I voted for Ebola Zaire. I Love the graphics that are used.

[blase005]

i like trimaster001's so i vote for him

[sigtau]

Ebola gets my vote, because the other screens just didn't seem to grab me. Realism in 2D is what grabs me the most in screen design.

Great job, guys!

Ebola Zaire gets my vote by far. The other ones just wern't as appealing.
