Map Contest: Winter Time.

[Meiscool-2]

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. WINNER: Drenin

This is a series of contests I'm going to start to try to bring some life to the forum.



Rules: Using the chipset above, create the best possible map that you can. You can only use the chipset, an NO events unless told otherwise. Any exceptions will be noted below. Also, no sprites should be on the map. If you don't know how to hide your hero sprite, then don't worry about it, it's not that big of a deal.

Exceptions: You may use the event code -> Weather -> Snow.
You may use an overlay if you wish.

This contest will go for five days, or untill we have enough entries. Winners of the contest will recieve random things from me, or recieve nothing. This contest, as it is the first contest and a test to see if people will actually enter these contests or not, will have no reward for the winner. These contests will be judged by me, and IF ANYONE ELSE WISHES TO BE A JUDGE WITH ME, PM ME. Only offer to be a judge if you seriously think that you can be here when needed and do your job. Anyone can enter the contest, judges as well, though judges can't win prizes. Prizes can consist of:
My 'special' resources that I use to map with and havn't shared with the public yet.
My special chipset edits.
And perhaps become a beta testor for my game.

To start things off, I will post my map. Remember, because I'm a judge, my map won't be in the voting. But, to be festive, I wanted to make one anyways :p



So, begin!

[Krynth]

But yea this is what I got from the last shot I took, already edited it some afterwards. Came with a cool idea for a series of mini games or w/e because of it...

[Robotam Plus]

Then don't post you idiot.

EDIT:
I was trying something new on this one. I gotta admit that I failed big time. v_v'

[Glitch]

Well, no harm in trying.

I call it, Leaving town in Winter

Hey, thanks guys. Robotam, I think I see what you were trying to do. If you want to fix up what you think you did wrong, you can. I didn't post any rules as to how many times you can post a map, so feel free to do what ya want. I really love the tree-tops in the upper right. I think I might do that one a couple of my maps now.

Glitch, nice I like the lowerleft for some reason. Looks like there was water there, but not enough to freeze over and make ice.

Nah, it's fine. If the contest is a success I'll have plenty of other chances to impress.

Come on, peeps. Give the man some entries!

[ZeroKirbyX]

Was bored so I gavew it a shot.

[drenrin2120]

[Archem]

Lord knows I'm trying to put something together...

EDIT:

Lord knows I tried...

[Meiscool-2]

Thanks guys! The turnout of entries is nice. More than I expected.

The contest ends on the begining of the 27th, so if you want bragging rights for the year of 2006, enter before then:p

[Meiscool-2]

Alright, the contest is closed now.

My judges and I will post our reviews and thoughts by the end of the week. Because this is the first contest, I'll allow late entries, but I doubt any will come.

Thankyou to all of you that have entered and gave support to the life of charas

Okay...Meiscool has had some compy troubles, so he hasn't responded yet.

Heres my judging and is by no means the final judgement, so to speak.

Drens = win
Archem = Runner up.

Kay what I though of each map...

Krynth: Too open, stuff was very square, and it lacked a lot of upper layer detailing.

Robotam: Stuff was like good, but the ice chips didn't really fit and the trees were a good idea, but they kinda looked like snow. Not a bad map, just the chips kinda didn't fit with the idea.

Glitch: Nice arrangement of stuff, I like this map, but it's kinda simple. I wouldn't mind this map at all in a game, way better then most maps in games I've played.

ZKX: Not bad, but the cliffs look kinda random, especially the one in the upper-right. It's the tallest cliff, but it has no snow on it, and usually the higher the cliff, the more snow. Not bad, though.

Dren: Nice blend of terrain, and I like the detail. No real complaints except in a real game it would be kinda hard to see where you wanna go, because there's no apparent path. I say this wins.

Archem: Nice, but everything looks scrunched up together. We have a clump of trees to the left, and a clump of cliffs to the right. I say this goes for second.
