This is an update of my picture from "Screenshot of the week #645"
I have taken the criticism and embellished my village.

Key Cathedral. A mysterious labyrinth hidden underneath a cathedral. Within the brassy walls you will find treasure... and many traps. Will you brave the dungeon?

Some feedback:

 

allb: A simple but lovely village shot. Maybe try adding a fence or some kind of object to further indicate this is a village.

 

Shoshon the Elegant: Definitely feels like an experiment has taken place... A bit cluttered but not too much to detract readability.

 

Anthus: Voted here, there's something quite charming about this screen.

 

Orithan: Pretty nice palette and screen, I'm not sure on the stacked walls but they get the job done.

 

xanadude: It's a nice screen. The waterfall looks like it's falling from the sky instead of falling off the mountain however.

 

FireSeraphim: Looks pretty brutal. I really love the Face Shrine visuals, although maybe a contrasting coloured floor would be nice.

Nulled.

 

 

allb: A good improvement. I'm not fond of the vertically stacked trees, and the screen could use some variation.

 

Shoshon: I like this a lot. Though, up top, the crystals looks odd due to their coloring, and I have no idea what the thing in the middle is. But good stuff.

 

Anthus: I really like the screen in terms of structure. But I am not a fan of the palette. It looks like their is a film over the whole screen.

 

Orithan: This is cool, I dig the symmetry of the whole thing. But the stacked walls, like Shane said, are a little jarring.

 

FireSeraphim: I love the aesthetics and the structure. The only things I don't like is that it seems extremely troublesome and difficult just looking at it. lol

 

 

Would've voted for FireSeraphim.

allb: Basically exactly what Shane said.

Shoshon: Wish the secret blocks and pots blended in more.

Anthus: Love the colors and composition.

Orithan: Love the colored floor paths, the wall choice and the symmetry.

xanadude: Love that it's black and white. Pretty well structured, but the waterfall goes down too far. Try bringing the bottom up one tile.

FireSeraphim: Love the atmosphere and colors. The white lines are a bit distracting, from a screenshot sense to me. Looking nice though.


Voting for Orithan.

@Shoshon the Elegant: I don't think you're aware of this but there's a certain unspoken rule/gentlemen's agreement among SOTW participants where the submitter don't vote for themselves or their rivals simply to ensure the voting process is fair and unbiased. If I were you I would remove the vote you just made and null your vote, simply because I don't it's a good idea to break the unspoken rule/gentlemen's agreement.

It's a polite thing to do, but it's not required. You can vote for whoever you want, even yourself.

That's how the GB Zeldas were.

Had to go with Xanadude for a super-appealing screen! I really like it! It has this natural and relaxing feel to it.

 

The others didn't speak to me, and a certain few seemed rather chaotic with clashing colors and all.

Yeah, it's just a weird "tradition" to null vote, but isn't a requirement.

https://www.zeldadun...ough/02/041.png

Actually, that's the one of the only cases where it happened... :P

 

These two maps show that they follow what Shoshon suggested actually.

Gameboy is the hardest tileset to use correctly. So hard that even Nintendies can't do it. :(

Yup, it's quite alright to do, and it is mentioned in the Screenshot of the Week rules that it's quite alright to do so.

Contest schedule and voting
*removed*
3. If you enter the contest, you may vote for yourself if you choose. Of course, you may also vote for a competitor or decline to vote altogether.

The convo is basically over. But my whole viewpoint has always been like this...

If I see something I really like, I'll vote for it. Unless it's my own. I also feel people have just as much chance being biased whether in or out.

So I've never gone for that or any unspoken agreement. I have my own honor code I go by. I'm not really the type of person to choose with a biased mindset either.

I'm a very impartial person when it comes to having an opinion on their work.
