Work in Progress Level...

[WanDaMan]

Very impressive! Keep it up =D!

You're never on MSN either... lol

You're OneStonedKittah right?

Also, in my opinion, you have quite a bit of errors in your screenshot. The cliffing can be done with a different style, and would give the diagnol parts of the cliff a more fluid motion.

I also seen some tile errors (the majority of which were pointed out by Crono).

You're making some good progress, continue and show us your progress.

I like the start of it, keep it up.

Map looks good so far.

Old account is 'Pooka' - I searched for threads I'd started and saw some 4 year-old levels and lolled, I was such a n00b sometimes

That I am - I feel special to be recognised

I'd be interesting to see an example so I can understand what you mean. The cliffs are a bit of a departure from my usual in that I'm going in sets of two if you can see what I mean. It does make them look somewhat more diagonal, but it means I don't have tile errors along the lines of what Crono pointed out (with the clifftop tiles not matching on one side, yet if it's changed to an alternative tile it doesn't match on the other side, with the solution being to use both in sets of two).

I've actually gone back and redone the double-level cliff joinings with the more correct tiles. I usually don't as I feel it makes it look a bit odd and (as I recall, though i could be mistaken) makes some cliff joins look odd, though I think I may have grown to actually like the look.

Anyway, update for the map with the sort of peninsula bit jutting out as a pointer for where I'm planning to dump a small island

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

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.

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.

[Devil]

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
