The level that failed to make me LAT on Doragon Koden.

...And for good reason. I threw together this level, sent it to G_Yoshi, and quite understandably, never heard from him again. I really haven't done any level editing since then, but I'm considering giving it another go.

Anyway, all I need is some basic feedback. What's wrong, what needs fixing, overall assessment, and all that jazz. I know the uppermost house is way too small, but I kind of ran out of room. Oh well.

if you're going to go for the low amount of detail on the grass, clump the detail together instead of spreading it around, it looks better when its in clumps.

You should create more real vegetation. Your grass detail is just random tiles spread about.

G_Yoshi's server is insanely good and cool in terms of scripting and GFX (which I was honored but regretfully turned down as a job due to not enough time to commit) but I feel he should accept as many LAT as he can get because those levels are an eyesore (understandably he hasn't gotten to that yet though).

If they are that weak minded to quit after criticism, then no way they would last as a staff member.
