Make a Map for YANTH Event [Vote For Your Favorite!]

[seita]

Thanks for everyone who has participated! I'll be making my own choice by tonight, within the next 18 hours. I think this event was successful enough that it can warrant at least one more event, with a more focused theme. Any suggestions?

 

[Vinedrius]

Thanks for the reply.

May I suggest an unexpected sanctuary in the middle of an inhospitable area (dungeons, swamps etc.), the most basic example being an oasis?

 

[monkeyintartan]

Yey I won didn't expect that there were some great maps there

hummm another event with a focused theme, how about a twisted world map? Where the not hero somehow wonders in to a strange part of the world where things don't seem quite normal, e,g everything is upside down or like that stair illusion that there is no end to them. Could be a puzzle area they get lost in and need to find their way out of the strangeness

Current Phase: Round 1 Complete!
 ​

Congratulations to monkeyintartan for winning the community vote!​

Congratulations to slimmeiske for being my personal choice!​

Slimmeiske wins my personal pick because off his interesting choice of locale. Having a floating village within an oasis within the desert is fairly unique and can give YANTH another interesting location for the player to visit. Special mention goes out to Chaos Avian for a beautiful map and vinedrai for another very unique location. Special thanks to corneredcosmos, julien brightside, david bergstrom and hotfirelegend for participating and submitting equally beautiful functional towns/villages.

This first round was quite a learning experience. It seems that there's enough interest to warrant at least a second round. I will be changing the voting process to Strawpoll in an effort to make it simplified and less messy.

For the winners, please contact me to receive a humble bundle key and to talk about your custom NPCs.

 

[Vinedrius]

Aww... Congratulations to the winners. It was exciting to participate anyway. I am looking forward to the next round.

 

[Julien Brightside]

AH, I thought there was a seperate category for city and for village.

 

[slimmmeiske2]

Oh, wow! Thank you very much. It seemed to me like a very hard choice, and I honestly didn't think I'd get picked.

Congratulations to monkeyintartan as well! And to the other participants.

For this first round, I should have emphasized uniqueness. It's not necessarily how well the map was mapped, but how unique the setting is. This is relevant information because I can easily spruce up or upgrade the map with my own mapping. I should mention that it was nearly a coin toss between slimmeiske and vinedrai's maps for my decision.

 

[seita]

I wanted to show the winners' towns  on the thread now that they're basically complete. These maps haven't been parallaxed yet, so some details are missing. Don't mind the missing doors in Slimmeiske's town though, forgot to put those in ;x

Man. I wish I'd seen this before. It'd help me with my practice! Congrats to the winners!

 

[slimmmeiske2]

They're looking awesome (if I may say so myself) 

Can't wait to see them in game ^^
