Rate level's please.

Here is a dwarves caven. It's for a server I am working on.
It's only a main template for things such as wall design, layout ect.

Spark910 has a spectacular aura about
Level One

House:
This is a nice shape, I have used this alot recently as I adore the style and effects but I am stopping using it as I use it too much! But its a popular one with me.

Other:
I figure this is an Empty house, maybe haunted one, which ever it is, the bed is great, and I like the idea of the ladder and the fact downstairs is lighter due to the lamps!

Originality:
This is airly original as I haven't seen many people use this style on here, so thats good, although I would maybe jazz up the floo slightly.

Sparks Rating: 8/10
-I only gave you a less higher score as I thought you coudl makybe add a few more tiles as it is blank. But its good.

Level Two

House:
Once again this is good, you have gone away from the premade and common wall tiles and used different ones which is great. I love the idea with the spikes, but it would be better if you can walk under them if you cant already.

Other:
I like the way the trees pop through and the idea of the upstairs part with cool steps up, and the floor is blank but you said it was a template so there you go.

Originality:
This is original and I haven't seen one like it before, i'd suggest using things like a table, vase and maybe some chairs for downstairs and maybe a stove and that would be fine.

Sparks Rating: 7.5/10
Once again the low mark is because its not completed nor all there, but its perfect so far and will be a 9-10 when completed.

Spark, he said they're a template, so why would you take points off for that?

Anyway, they look very very nice. Do I see Birdbird in you ? Your style reminds me of his as for these two insides and look like his.

Keep it up.

First level looks nice but its a little to dark and spooky. If someone scared me in there I surely would... Though it is dull and I like the lights preventing the great darkness that I wouldn't be able to see where I am going. Though I do not like the bed that much but so far its ok.

Level 1 Rating = 7.5/10

The second level looks very descent. Like what Spark said with the spikes and stuff. But before I saw Sparks post I liked how you can see the trees outside. Plus I think you made a tile error on the stairs. Other then that its very good.

Level 2 Rating = 8.5/10

Edit: Waltz he said that it will get a 7.5/10 until he has completed it. So he did it with it not completed and what it would be like when it is corrected so

Thanks.

For a start, I'm not a he, Im she Just thought I would clear that up.

The first level is dark, but it's a mine.. and our charaters have different abilitys, so out dwarves will have better vision in the darkness than other. Others will use a lamp/spell to lighten the way if they wish.. I will lighten it up a shade or two and see how to feels. I will take up the idea of adding more deatil to the floor too.


In the second:
Yeah, you can walk under the spiked wall, gives it more of an effect.

I have seen Birdbird levels before, I like his work.. as you said simular style.

that style was originaly created on Providance, I adapted it to 2k1 later on after providence died with permission.

Though I see alot of people use styles and techneques I made a while back, flattering



The levels are really nice, creative and well layed out.

But from a picky perspective.
level 1

The latter does not fit in, I sugess recoloring it. The dirt has a repeditive non organic feeling to it. The rug that connects the chair and the table is not noticable, it would be good for it to stretch out a tile to the left and make it look more like a rug.
It might be arguable to add more content inside the level itself. chairs tables. Good subterarian feeling. To create more of a dark diffused feeling, make the lights 2x bigger, but twice as dim, use light4.png with .1 alpha in the bottom area witht he same light colors at zoom 2 or 3 to create a diffused light effect. Same with top, but dimmer to suggest a mild reflection and bleeding from downstairs.


Level2

I'm not liking this one as much. I suggest adding a bottom tile to the "marron" table type outlines of the supports to suggest depth, as well as something underneeth the wooden trees. The floor is not in good contrast hue wise with the rest of the level, as well as the bed color, the stairs dont suggest depth at all sadly. Do the same thing with the rug as with level one, expand it to suggest its a rug, oh I noticed not alot of content, its a template I forgot , I like them, though still a bit plain

Heres some inspiration if you think you need it:

I don't really like the walls in the first one, but the shape is nice, and I know ETD changed the graphic for the floor tile in the second yesterday.
He showed me them and they looked much better.
Overall I give them a 7/10
