A little level debate

Angel_Light · #1 12-06-2005, 03:35 AM

Okay me and my friend are aguing that my level is "over-detailed". Tell me what you think please.

I'll also take your constuctive criticism.

haunter · #2 12-06-2005, 03:45 AM

I dislike it. Though there is nothing wrong with 'over detailed' so long as it's done right, and is made appealing.

P.S. Learn to use the edit button.

Angel_Light · #3 12-06-2005, 04:11 AM

What ya mean, "Edit Button" XP

I mean, the button you press to edit your posts when you forget to say something.

I know, lol.Jeesh. I'm just too lazy. Also, got any tips for "over-detailing the right way"?

Yes.

Don't use so many different-colored objects.

Detail with the greenish objects more and the mushrooms/brown things less. While they look okay if there are only a few of them scattered about, they look too cluttered in numbers. By contrast, using the greenish things is kind of like "shading" is in graphics editing. While not a perfect analogy, you don't "shade" with different completely different colors in graphics editing. Likewise, you shouldn't shade the green, grassy ground with alot of pale things or alot of brown things. The difference is that you can use those pale and/or brown things occasionally to add some accent, which would probably screw up a picture if you were making art.

Anyway, just use more greenish stuff and less non-greenish stuff.

Oh, in that case... The next time you're 'too lazy' to use the edit button I won't be so kind as to comp your two posts together. One of them will just disappear, and as for which one, well that will be at my discression. Please don't double post like you did earlier.

Hm, it's odd.

Mykel · #9 12-06-2005, 11:10 AM

syltburk · #10 12-06-2005, 03:34 PM

I wouldn't say it's over detailed, yes a lot but not over detailed (I see worse all the time).

I think the overall concept of the level is boring. In terms of detailing with tiles like the mushroom and rocks, it prevents a player from walking around.. that is just annoying.

So if there was a choice for boring, I would go for that.

It's not the worst level in the world though.

Eagle · #13 12-06-2005, 09:37 PM

Hey, arent these the same as I told you? You told me my advice sucked. Okay.

Infernix · #14 12-06-2005, 09:42 PM

Well....IIII think you use to much of that crap that you cant move on which is your so called "detail" lolz. As far as everything else, I dont wanna say it cause its hard to say stuff without making ya mad or someone else mad.

Angel_Light · #15 12-06-2005, 10:59 PM

Maybe I should add, The passage in the top is the only way to get up there.

WanDaMan · #16 12-07-2005, 09:26 AM

Overall I really like this level

Some errors in the trees what can easilly be fixed. Keep up the good work

Angel_Light · #17 12-07-2005, 02:15 PM

Thanks

I don't know what you guys are talking about! I think the walls are the best thing!

He's referring to the walls of the level. He never said he didn't like it so I assume he thought it was good?

Don't ask for any type of criticism if you can't take any of it

Angel_Light · #22 12-15-2005, 09:23 PM

No, it's not the criticism. I love critism it pushes me beyond my limits. It just I want to know whats good and bad for leveling

Be creative. You shouldn't conform to 'standards' of another person. The best levels are the levels that don't resemble every other level except one tile being placed differently.

[edit] wow, that's worded horribly :x

Angel_Light · #24 12-16-2005, 04:46 AM

Hmm, I'll try to make betters levels with "MY" design. Wait. I will make better levels.

Well, I look back on the level I posted and see all the mistakes. I haave to strive to do better.
