A great water temple in a zelda-game? It's not impossible. ;)

Joelmacool: I'm starting to not like that palette if I have to be honest. Feels too pastel for my tastes, and I am a fan of pastel palettes. I like the structure though. There's nothing truly wrong with your map, it's great if anything, but it's too small and basic in comparison to what it's up against.

 

Rastael: I voted here. I wouldn't call it a "great water temple", I've seen worse (in terms of being overly complex), but that doesn't mean it doesn't look great because it does! However, I am not a fan of the wall and floor graphics nor the iron grates being joined together like that to make 2x2 iron grates (they're designed to be on the walls and all). The design and structure is my favorite parts of this map. It does look fun to play and the size is more reasonable for Map of the Month. Hence my vote.

I'm getting some MAJOR Hero of Dreams vibes from Rastael's map. I'm a little biased, so I'm placing my vote here.

Damn, I just realised that I forgot to remove the test-bosskey in front of the bossdoor. XD

 

Thx for the comments. :D

Joelmacool - Nice job with the map here. I like how everything looks, colours, detail, design, everything. Kinda wish it was bigger and had more screens, but it's good.

 

Rastael - Awesome job with the dungeon. I really like the Swamp Palace feel to it and everything looks really well done. Nice job.

 

Both maps were really well done, and I really wish I could vote for both lol. I went for Joel this month though, I just really like how the map is laid out and looks ever so slightly better than Rastael's IMO, even if it is a bit small for my tastes.

Ok, so my two cents (not that it means anything. It's not like I've ever won)

Joelmacool: That map is... Nice? I guess? I mean, it's structured well, I like your usage of the tileset, and it's not so much that I feel it's too small... It feels very linear and incomplete. As pretty as it is, I have no desire to explore that area, because it doesn't seem like there's much to explore; just a long hallway to the next plot point. A bit more area, a little more detail, I would have voted, here, but as it stands, it just doesn't grab my attention enough.

Rastael: The concept's been done to death, but I do like the way you've used it. good tilework, good detail, looks like an enjoyable dungeon to crawl. I hesitate to call it great, however, but I guess I won't know that until I've played it. i voted here.

I voted for Rastael! I can feel the amount of effort put into that map just by looking at it. Joel, I like it but, as everyone else has said, it's a bit small.

You will leave your money AND your life, buffoons!

 

I liked Rastael's, and will study it , as I need water temple inspiration.

I have to agree with Binx

Joelmacool: That map is... Nice? I guess? I mean, it's structured well, I like your usage of the tileset, and it's not so much that I feel it's too small... It feels very linear and incomplete. As pretty as it is, I have no desire to explore that area, because it doesn't seem like there's much to explore; just a long hallway to the next plot point. A bit more area, a little more detail, I would have voted, here, but as it stands, it just doesn't grab my attention enough.
 

The fact it feels linear and incomplete, it kinda throws me off a bit. It's a very nicely done map, don't get me wrong, it's just that it feels incomplete to me. I've made a quest before and I was too linear on mine, so I know that feeling. That said, it's a good effort you made.

 

 

Regardless, my vote goes to Rastael. This is a beautifully done map. The design is pretty strong. Is this the best water temple-styled theme ever? No. But it's right up there. Great job.

 

I think even if Joel's was more complete and not as linear, my vote still is clear.

 

Rastael for me. Great job.

Thanks for all the feedback! I guess I have now learnt that I must make my maps bigger before submitting them, so expect something in the future :D

Rastael's map is amazing! Though, I do think that the walls look too pasty, but maybe that's how I see it. Also, when the water is drained the blue stripes look a bit bold... other than that it's great :D  Sadly, I cannot vote for it because I am in the competition...

But Ed! The ethics of PZC contests! The moral outrage!




 

 

Ahem. I myself have voted for Joel. I especially like the palette.

The palette's fine, it's just that it screams incomplete to me. You're all certainly better at this than I am. I admire all of your work.
