How do my outside level and bowling alley look

I was trying to make my level colorful and neat.

The level doesn't seem done and I don't like the outlines of the level.

The level is horrible. Tile errors in the grass, water, and just plain ugly roofs. I don't see how you can actually compare any levels to UN when most of the UN levels are better then the other classic server levels now.

Everything is square, the dirt looks like it was tile generated or is. and it has no outer detail. I could go on, but I have already said enough for you to realise it is not a good level.

The buildings all looks the same, except for the roofs and the one large building in the top right has a wierd roof. Also, the shalow water pools in the top left (and in the rest of the level) were tileobjects, try to make them a bit different. The boat GFX are not set up right for the graal perspective, and the grass in the upper right corner needs detail. Also, the deep water in the uper right needs waves and the water near the edges of the island should be more shallow. Though some of the levels on UN could use some work, this is deffinatly no where near what Un has on their server, sorry.

You can't ask for peoples opinions and then complain when they don't give you the answer you want.

the bowling inside is very nice ^_^

Tile errors: The level lacks all detail and the lines are to straight >.> Path generator?

View: The boat and the buildings... I don't think I need to explain it cause welll let me than. The angle on the boat and the angle on the buildings? whats up with that
The bridge? is it a bridge or is it..some weird missplaced item?

The bushes? aren't they a little out of place?

The colours are very dull sorry (like I told you on aim :P)
Outside 0 <- out of 10
---
Inside:
Its cool
There a few minor glitches but notting important and it basicly works (all the graphics in total) Unlike the outside its nicely organized and it looks good
You might want to try to work on front part a bit (front wall.. supposidly the outside of the building) You could try "using light effected walls" if you know someone who can script extremly well even make walls that get lighteffects if the player is under it (in a small radius around the player)
8 out of 10

Bowling looks cool...
outside level has way too many straight lines, in the level detail and the graphics.
All the houses look the same except different graphics on the roof, no variety.
I kinda like the boats, but they could use some more detail.
The bridge should probably have water running under it? It looks odd just sitting there like that.

Woah, cool inside. I love it.

It would be better if you could actually see the detail within the levels.

USE ALT + 2 IN GAME TO DO AN IN GAME SNAPSHOT.

I think it just needs more detail and fixes on tiles, alltogether if re-worked it could make an okay level.

I like the first one for some reason. Maybe because it's simple. It has a classic (not the server) feel to it.

OMG i post one with more detail and it gets bashed, this one uses tile objects like a baby uses diapers, it ****s all over them. Trust me, fix the level, your indoor one is really good, but people don't like the clasic feel antmore, they've seen better. I know what you can do, but really, the first one isn't near what you can do.

*stabs*

As a PWA, I would have given bonus points to a server which kept it simple (but I never had to worry about that, because 99% were Era clones). I think I did on one occasion.

In a town, I would not expect to see grass and dirt everywhere. I would expect a fairly clean landscape.

Shawn, like I said on aim. You should try a whole new tileset and use the "type 2" tileset (e.g look at umm Era)

It allows you to have more tiles and alot of other stuff. Ontop of that your a good graphic artist but you should just try a whole new thing cause mmmm.. I dunno like some things look out of place.

Like see the bridge, the image is nice and smooth. (atleast in real size on the server) You should try to bring that smooth ness and possibly the same kind of pallet to more tiles.

You should possibly try a new grass to water tile aswell, I saw the tile on Fairylands the type I'm talking about. ->http://www.1010game.com/fairyland/htm/screen_shout9.htm
Contains an example.. but I can't find any good screenshots. Its basicly more like "rock/grass to water" and than the water is semi transparent for a while until it just takes up one patern, and its animted wich makes it look good

(By the way this was a positive comment :P so don't come chasing me with a ak47 screaming DIE! )
