Mapping Contest 2k3

I would have liked the entries to be hidden until the deadline is over. It would add more surprise to it. Instead of someone seeing all the maps and then thinking "I should make something better"


At the same time, I think the maps probably ended up better since they were out in public.

I think everybody did well for the most part. My votes are for:

Blitzen, Kazesui, and SGCN

Final Fantasy XIV patch 1.18

If you already paid for it SE is waiving the monthly fee to play until it reaches "acceptable standards".

I know. They were e-mailing me about it forever. I uninstalled it even if the free trial was extended. I didn't realize it was -still- extended, however. I thought it ended several months ago.

Final Fantasy XIV patch 1.18

Yeah... I pre-ordered this game and was extraordinarily disappointed. I rage quit within a matter of days. If the changes are that significant, I might try it out again.

Missed this. Thanks for sharing, Ocean. I've never played the SNES remake of DQ3 before, but the NES and GBC ones were excellent. It looks like our tile set is missing a few pieces or are not positioned correctly (for example, we can't place windows on the towers). We're also missing trees, wall shadows, some bits around the doors, and other things. I assume the tile set creator ran out of space to add everything, so it's understandable. Looking at how many people implemented balconies, it would've been nice for that tile to be included at least.

Cool, YDS.

Looking at yours, SGCN, it just occurred to me that those red-orange tiles are actually roof tiles. I thought they were a floor tile.

I must have different sensibilities, because when I look at Blindmind's I just see randomly placed tiles. He has a pillar growing out of the middle of a path. Ruins still have structure to them, they're just ruined.

Apparently you can get a full color view of the map by clicking the zoom button for easy screenshot taking.

That's how I always do map screenshots. The "Select Map Elements" (second button above the tileset palette, left of the zoom button) has a similar effect and rasters all the layers for an easy screenshot. "Select Map Elements" is probably my favorite button in general since you can select and drag large portions of the map around (or copy/paste parts). It saves a lot of effort if you're trying to figure out your spacing.

What does it mean for a game to be an RPG?

Call it ignorant all you want, but I don't lack in knowledge when it comes to games as I've probably played more than most of the members here.


I just wanted to preserve this. I haven't seen a quote this hilarious in awhile. Nuh-uh! I've played more games! No way!

I like what you did here, arcan. The loopy wall thingy is nice.
