Work in Progress Level...

[maximus_asinus]

Your preview level retiled in the style I prefer. Is this how you usually tile your cliffs? This style gives the diagonal cliffing a more fluid motion, as I said earlier, plus it gives you more options when you're detailing a level (you can make nooks and crannies along the side of the cliff easier, etc).

Also Crono and a few others dislike this style of cliffing apparently, so don't listen to what they have to say

It looks OK in that screenshot but a huge ass mountain stacked with those tiles is horribly ugly and can't see why anyone would disagree.

I find the other way more ugly

I actually like those cliffs, anyone have a screenshot of the other way?

I don't see the difference between the top post of this page, and that link provided, unless I'm an idiot.

The changes are quite obvious, so yes you are an idiot. Sorry.

Oh ok I see where, there is differences between the 2, in the middle of the cliffs where they join. =/

Who ****ing cares.

You still aren't seeing the bigger change.

[Devil]

Maybe I don't care

The left side is the style I like, the right one is what max and luda are suggesting.

Honestly, which one looks better?

That's exactly how I went back and redid the level as mentioned in my previous post

They are the 'official' tiles for the job I suppose, though I'm not always sure on how they look. I think I'm with Crono in that for a single join they look quite good, though for anything larger it just wouldn't look right, far too repetitive in a contrasting way I think (the tiles are much lighter than the other method, so stand out repetitively).

Anyway, hopefully I'll have the coastal cliffwork finished tonight and perhaps some more of the inland cliffs laid out.

Ok sure, yes, I like the left better.

I think the left flows better, but the right one is nice when used tastefully like in the post at the top of this page. And Kittah your map looks pretty good so far, can't wait to see more progress.

And good luck in Japan, I had a Japanese roommate for a while and it was quite a difficult language to keep up with.




400th post, hooray?

If your cliff splits and your cliff is large it would look like the right one in the end. Classic has a perfect example of cliffing at it's ugliest (and yet proper) using those tiles. Thats why I'm against them, they are ugly.
