New map, worth continuing?

[TheJamsh]

Started work on this today, it looks pretty good so far, and its going to be for the addon pack. Just wondered if people like it enough for me to continue working on it? Might take a week or so to finish. Heres some screenies:








First time ive really put work into the sky and lighting, its definately worth it i think!

Looks like something BBB would come up with!

[Rocket]

its definately worth it i think!

I think so too. 

[TheJamsh]

oi!

I did a fairly simple GH style one with 'Outposts' (another map in addon pack for those who dont know), This ones called "Rock Pools". First time i've experimented with multiple layers of water as well...

This ones entirely free-hand, but used winter for Outposts. FAR prefer free-hand, just so much easier and you have finer control over it.

[AHadley]

Yeah, I agree. Freehand just seems that little more natural, so its not perfectly symmetrical.

dude that looks really nice. Can't wait to play it.

Looks good... Just pointing out: it's snowing, so we should be seeing cloud cover and not Saturn, right? Not saying it looks BAD, because I think its pretty cool.

[Red Spot]

Looks very good. That said I always judge maps on how they play .. looks should imo never come first (though that doesnt seem to be the trent ...). So how does it play? How does the AI behave on the map? If its as good as the map looks I would be really interested in the map

[TheJamsh]

Not too sure on the AI yet. Im not really sure what im going to use the map FOR.

That said, im not usually too bad at sorting pathing out.

The snow was a kind of... interesting addition. I quite like the feel it gives... Like early morning snowing somewhere not quite sure where... but whatever ...

I reckon it's quite nice TJ.

(I see backdropped mountains).

Mire trees can't live in the cold. What if you made a different kind of rain?

I'd definitely keep the snow and the clear sky, it looks awesome.

Who says they're trees from Mire?  And who says they can't survive cold?

They may just be trees that evolved naturally on the planet, and look extremely similar to those found on Mire.

[ScarleTomato]

indeed videogames are supposed to be an escape from reality anyways. Why try and make it true to life if it loses asthetics?

Right...
