I just want to note that we can't actually see the layout or specific terrains, so we can't suggest much. Attach your map's terrain triggerless if you want, or just post some screenshots.

Some people are saying what they are because they think it is a bound.
You should put "This is not a bound, it is the name of the game!!" somewhere really big in here just so fewer people will ignore that part.

Dude Lupin, i've played gunbound, this map looks sick, good luck making the rest man, I look forward to it

Slash Magnakaku, thats the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me ~sniffles~ ILL TRY MY HARDEST! ILL WORK TILL MY ARMS DROP, AND MY EYE'S POP OUT, AND MY ASS IS TO BONE, AND MY FINGERS ARE GONE, AND I TURN PALE!!...

Badlands?

please post any terrain, and give a reason. maybe some levels in gunbound? Meta mine? Snow lvl? you choose.

but you must do it by tomarrow 4:00PM, thats when i get out of Drivers Ed!

This topic is about your terrain, and I said that I don't think square terrain is all that impressive - in reference to your work and Red2Blue's. I'd say that's pretty on topic. And if you don't want my opinion, don't start a thread in a public thread showing of your work. Not everyone will love it.


You want to post your map, then where is it? I see only a small image in the first post which is too tiny to even notice the details.


I specifically made a difference between what I consider "square terrain" and "extended terrain." In my post, I had "Red2Blue's art in his bounds" as an antecedent to "square terrain," which obviously wasn't the same as "extended terrain." And not everything is made by square terrain, X-tra can only do isometrical terrain. Before ISOM came out, no one had even considered the existance of what you call "square terrain." And how am I an idiot? You're the one who misinterpreted what I had posted. Its not my fault that not everyone praises you. I think you're the ignorant one.

Oh and if you're going to bust my balls about posting off-topic comments, then stop being a hypocrite. You could have easilly PMed Mastaa and myself rather than bring it up in here.

I guess I'd classify this as "blocky", and no it does not resemble Gunbound. It just contains the picture of a unit from Gunbound, and this actual map would have absolutely nothing to do with gunbound.
Yea sure, nice job on making it look good on the minimap. But the actual "terrain" would be horrible in my opinion.

Can we see the terrain and not just a minimap picture? The minimap doesn't show terrain the way people show it on the website. It's like taking a "sexy pics" map and posting the minimap picture; sure it looks good but when you ignore the minimap and look at the actual screen it just looks like random tiles smacked on there.

That was my point exactly. What I call "square terrain" is what you'd normally see in a bound to make the minimap look good. What I call "extended terrain" is what you'd see on the actual map to make it look good. Big difference.

Square terrain is designed for two things, efficency, and looking good on the minimap. it's not suitable for RPGs and realism because in those you're trying to generate associations of the visual stimuli with a particular concept and sensation. Square terrain isn't particularly exciting because no emotion comes from it, only "I see a big square of grass". Now don't take me wrong, square terrain is nice and all, but it's nothing extraordinary.

Sometimes just plain square terrain is good in RPGs, but you have to make it look natural and not like this:

I dont care if people praise me or not, ur comment about saying "what sqaure terrain is" everyone has an opinion on it. I have my own opinion so its kind of useless to argue with me, when im not gonna change my mind because you say so?



like i said before, it was to give people a general idea of what it might look like.
I didnt start argueing about "its just squares" blah blah blah, u think i cant see the sqaures or something?, am i blind? O.o, we all get it that its squares, so why do you needa point it out? I dont get it,


ADDITION:
are you tring to argue with me or something? O.o

ADDITION:


and also devlin, why couldnt he pm me that instead of posting in here?

I'm not trying to argue, I just don't think its fair that you call me ignorant or an idiot for stating my opinion. All i did was say that this isn't that impressive - and I even said there was nothing to judge even - and you tried to tear me to pieces. But why? I'd think you were the one trying to argue with me when all I did was post my opinion.


Because if you look around at all the other topics in here, they show interesting combinations of this square terrain to make something look pleasing in the actual game. You've talked about your terrain without showing us anything pretty much. I'm pointing out that compared to the other screenshots shown in this forum, yours isn't as interesting or as - for lack of a better word - adequate.


He could have, I never said he couldn't. And hsi remark of "blended" cmpared to "drawing" is again the point I was making that offended you.


Exactly, and I posted mine. Yet I'm the only one to be called ignorant and an idiot for it. So therefore I'm concluding that you're offended because someone doesn't like your terrain. Am I wrong? And if I am, why even call me an idiot in the first place? Are you an idiot for posting your opinion?

Devlin, the reason why i said all that is because, after the long argument, about the Oo thing, I keep thinkin we are still argument about that, i dont know why.

and anywase, i decided that, im making it look good on Mini Map, the terrain looks ok, not a bunch of wild terrain, everywhere, but descent, inside the game area. and Maybe next Gun Bound, i will make a different level, and just use the terrain point of view, thank you devlin, Ill try it , but to be honest i suk at blending =( so it might not look that good, but im sure after a few days or weeks of practice ill get it down

and it might look at little random tiles, but the reason why im doing this, is to show how the game really looks. here are some pictures.

it might look a little squery, but i think its ok, and plus, your not going to be able to move your "Mobiles" only for teleporting. Next Gun Bound, ill let it be able to move, but for the terrain abilities, its ok for now.
Also another reason why im putting "random square tiles" is because, its a new map, and a new map must have pretty mini map.", and also i wanna get good at blending, instead of tring, and it looks like random tiles even more, so please forgive me, but i will try next game.

Part2)



Part3)

ADDITION:
* looks a little plain* and also, i majoraly changed the layout from before and stuff. because the other layout was just gay, and was so much random tiles, it confused people looking for stuff, Hehehehe =]

do all maps have to have extended terrain t-mastaa? let him be. Who knows? even maps without extended terrain sometimes come out to be the better map, so don't just judge through first impressions, dumbass
