CINDERSPARK'S PROFILE

Yeah, I wish I didn't have to alter the tileset to do that (for some reason the particular wall I used was only 1 high and didn't tile correctly) but I'll figure it out.

Anyways, to the photoshops!

Show a few better ones, resubmit and see if that gets you places. You could have already done so instead of complaining about it.

First of all, I admitted that I had a few bland ones in there, simply because they were the first ones I put up.

As for resubmitting, I've been working on the maps AND complaining. I'm a tricky multitasker like that.

Anyway, the point was never to get the Admin to reconsider the submission I already had up. It was simply to express my frustration. I didn't expect them to go "oh well she put a bunch of work we can't see into it, so clearly, she deserves to slip through".

Denied

Reason: Mapping is just below site standards due to wrongly used tiles and bland, empty maps. Check out a few tutorials, make use of the screenshot thread for feedback and resubmit after you've made the maps a little better.

This is the post that I got about being denied.

Yeah, I have several screenshots. One of the title screen, and I think 6 or 7 of the actual game. Admittedly, one is just the character selection area (the barren tween at the beginning of the game) but there are at least two that more accurately show the feel of the game.

It's very frustrating. I've put a lot of work into the game, and there are a few places (like the beginning) that aren't supposed to have... stuff.. in them. It's meant to be barren and minimal to give a sense of unending. Even the crumbling walls, I thought, were too much. I didn't like them, but the site called them bland and unworthy, so I added things I didn't want to add to the game to appease the almighty forum god. It's supposed to be a tween, devoid of matter and home only to spirits. I don't know how else I'm supposed to show it other than how I had it. The policeman's house is unfinished, but for the most part, how many people have a fully furnished house the moment they move in?

I'm at a loss of how to add enough to the game to live up to the 'mapping standards' without just adding random things to the game to make the room feel more interesting, which it's not meant to be. In fact, the living world is supposed to be distinctly UNinteresting and the dream worlds are supposed to have all the substance.

Sorry if I'm ranting, but It's just so frustrating. The first time I understood, you know, all I had was a title screen, so I was like "Oh right, I just sort of wanted it up so I would have a place to put it. That makes sense" the second time I was like "Well I guess the room I have isn't finished... I'll add more later." But now, It's like I've put SO much time in it just to have it be 'not quite good enough' and it's very discouraging.
A lot of my hard work has been behind the scenes stuff though, and doesn't really translate into screenshots.

Another idea/concept.

Hopefully this is pretty simple.
I want an ability to be unlocked once you have certain key items.
The idea is that one of the characters has alchemy so she would find ingredients to unlock the ability.
Once unlocked, I would be satisfied with it staying unlocked as a perm ability, though what I would like more would be a sort of crafting system where they buy the key item to make the ability(which would be an item in this case, consumable just like any other item).

Nevermind, found a script.
