Ok. First the news. I am taking back what I said earlier. SOTW will go back to being Monday to Thursday. I'm starting 12 here. Voting will continue until Sunday night. I will start Screenshot of the Month 3(I think the name should change, cause there are more than 4 weeks in a month). Once voting for that ends, SOTW 13 will begin. You may begin submitting at any time. Anyway, on with the voting.

And the nominees are...

Happyman

My first animated screenie ever. In this screen, the player must burn down a small forest to proceed. Don't ask what happened to the subscreen.

My first animated image too.
This is yet another test screen.

I'll throw in a vote for whoever has the most by the end of the voting period...they are all exemplary.

[HappyPuppet]

Just three huh? Well, I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for...

[DarkFlameWolf]

its quite easy, Zoraman trumps everyone else in terms of design, quality and wow factor.

[HappyPuppet]

Alright, I'm voting for Starfox. *hears gasps*

You see, I judge not on just gfx, but any kind of trick or such in the screenshot. Zoraman's is impressive graphically, but it kinda looks like the usual overworld screen to me. Starfox's however, is very good graphicwise, but I like the concept even better. So I voted for SF.

I was wondering can you vote for yourself?
I'm just curious.
My next screen will be great too it will be a screen from the ancient ruins of light.
Good luck all.

No. ;P


I'm voting for ZM's...I think.

[DarkFlameWolf]

um..happyman, just your 'usual' overworld screen? WTF? Have you even played any quests recently? None of your 'usual' overworld screens even come close to looking like that. I'd say think again before you make a blantant statement like that.

[blckscab]

I voted for zoraman.
Those tiles look good and must be realy hard to work with.

[Fox]

Meh, I didn't expect to win. This is an old pic anyway. I'll also be voting for zoraman. BTW, what game is that from? Will that be in a quest? And do you have the proper tiles to construct a full overworld?

Happyman: Your colors are a bit too simplistic, and some of the tiles (namely the green ground and the blue sky) could have texture or variety in them (such as grass or clouds).

Zoraman, the bottom right corner of your pic is bugging me. It just looks like a black space to me. And the rocks on the right side look screwed up too. Maybe it's just me. Anyway, it'll be nice to see how this quest turns out.

Anyway, that's my rants about the pictures to help people improve (well, try to help).

Edit: Voted. Yay, I actually have a couple votes!

None of your 'usual' overworld screens even come close to looking like that. (And when did I say they did...) I'd say think again before you make a blantant statement like that. (And I've thought again...)

I'm not changing my mind DFW.

It's Seiken Densetu 3. He won't have proper tiles for a full overworld in months if it's SD3...unless he's done most of them already.

Happyman: Your colors are a bit too simplistic, and some of the tiles (namely the green ground and the blue sky) could have texture or variety in them (such as grass or clouds).
I plan to add the texture soon (not to the grass though, I don't think it'd work well in a puzzle quest) to the sky, and I'm also leaving the colors the way they are (until the sky comes in). I don't concentrate on gfx for a puzzle quest, so I don't expect any of my shots to win.

The black is overhanging trees. I didn't really notice the rocks either.

Ahem I have been working on this tile set for a couple months.So in other words I do have enough tiles for an over world and if you did'nt know I am also working on a quest.
