I wanted to share who I voted for and why:

mlogan: Hell to the yeah for underwater farming.

thatbennyguy: Detailed but not overloaded and I can see how a player could navigate the map.

There are so many good entries, so difficult to choose.

I really love Baka-Chans Map, it looks very bright and playful. I don't know, I just like the vibe of it :)

I also like Irilis Map, because it has clear zones and is very well-arranged while still managing to have some nice details.

I wanted to vote for those, but the voting says I already voted. I'm a bit confused about that. Voting is disabled for participants? I'm fine with that :)

And thanks for those who already voted for me :) My map is done with overlay mapping, but I tested it thoroughly ingame for playability ^^ You can see it a little bit in my effects video in the other thread.

Almost had to roll a dice to keep two out of five. So many talents here!

That was a nice contest. Looking forward to the next one ;)

So many great maps to choose from! This makes me want to buy the Rural Tiles pack.

I especially love yours, Candacis.

I voted for Candacis and Pinkpeach, I tried to divide my criteria between aesthetics and believability, there were a couple of maps that were 'prettier' and looked better as maps but just didn't really look like farms to me(which was the point of the contest). A couple of others that were in the lineup for me were Zachfoss and Irili, though there were many other great maps as well.

@Candacis: If it is disabled for participants then it bugged with me, since it let me vote.

Before saying that a map is playable or not.

Do people even checked the pasability in a editor ?

Anyway, good luck to everyone and I forgot to thanks Célianna for her work.

I was able to make something different with her new trees with such lovely colors.

@Candacis: that is indeed a strange bug - everyone is allowed to vote.


You haven't accidentally voted already?

Or maybe clicked to see results prior to voting, which I believe negates your ability to vote altogether?

I was able to vote, although like everyone mentioned it was really hard to decide on just two.

@Chaos17: What I did was look it over and think "If this were in a game, would I have a clear idea of where the important locations are and how to get to them? Does this look easy to move in or would it be frustrating? Would this map serve a purpose?" I don't need to actually try the map out to do that.

Yeah, I think, that happened. I previewed the vote result, but I didn't know that I can't vote after that. Is this a bug?

It is, right next to where it talks about viewing results.

Oh... I feel stupid now. I did not see that. Well, I will be more careful next time.

I voted for one that looks great and playable, and another that looks great but not very playable at all.

Yes, I'm quite weird! But oh well, eh?

The thing that did it for me was the question, "Which of these places would you most like to visit?"

Eheh. Unusual, right?

Good luck to everyone! ^_^~

It is rather obvious where my first vote went, my foolish pride and all.


My other vote went to Zachfoss due that map is just plain awesome and well detailed. It actually looks like farm on a sunny day.

Yes, viewing the results first before choosing registers as a vote (and it would totally be unfair to let you vote after seeing the results, as that may skew your vote).

I voted for Dalph because he had the finest RTP map, and EyesUnclouded because his was a very original take. All the best to the rest.

I know my map was a little cluttered but two things

  • It was never going to be in a game so I wanted a lot going on
  • Also it was my first parallax map so I wanted to see what and how much I could do.
but I was a big fan of about 5 or 6 of these maps plus Benny, myself, and few other participants had a little bit of map freeze tag going on which was really enjoyable!

Thanks guys

and heck yes Celianna the forum needs more mapping contests! At least one a month!!!!

I want to say an extra special thank you to everyone who voted for me!!!!

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
