OMFG TEH AMBIENCE!!1one!!1

There's not really much to this map, but I think it has some great ambience to it. Oh and just to seal in the ambient flavoring play it by yourself.

Nice. It gives a sort of mysterious and suspenceful feel... I like how you did that thing with the marine's image.

Huh? You mean the doodad on the wall? Lol... It's plainish terrain, A bit too outside space for Aliens for me, because that was in primarily a ship.

Did you play it or did you just skim my post and peek at the pictures?

I meant the effect with the image of the marine. It didn't show, just like a staticy TV channel. Well, even if I didn't click on the marine, it's still there.

I can't explain it much, maybe Xeno knows what I'm talking about and will post a screenshot, I'm too lazy.

Well it gives a feel that the marine has lost connection to any other human being and is stuck in that area.

The portrait images were repeatedly changed, so it came out as static.

I think I'm going to take some new screenshots of my map...

Portrait Image, that's what it's called! I forgot it's name for some reason.

And new images would be cool, but the music is the thing that makes the map ambient.

Here are the up to date pictures.

We played this a long time ago.
Terrain is good, playing sucks because you get owned every time.

(Rexy, it's not the same map!)
(You're gonna reveal my super-secret project!)

hehehe, i remember u showing me that, u were showing me the ventilation thing incase u dont remember, thatll do nice in this contest...

Speaking of contest, shouldn't it have started last sunday?

Finals killed all my free time. School finishes next week, so I guess that I'll finish this next weekend.

I just read everything and looked at the screenshots. The newer ones add the "dark passageway" feel.

Okay, I had my last final today. Is anyone going to add anything more? I'll close this contest on saturday anyway...

The thing with you alien terrain is there is nothing to it. just simple clicking terrain and puting a few doodads. No blending or cool effects.

Hey, T masta. Is this thread called "Coolest smoothiest best terrain contest omg must havs c00l scr33nsh0ts l0l!!!!111onetwothreeeight!!!"? No. Look up the term ambient. Sometimes the best maps don't need heavy sprite placement, innovative terrain, etc. Ambient is about giving the person a certain feeling, and it can be accomplished with ISOM quite well. In other words... stfu.

lol, i personally think that installation and ashworld kind have the best ambience, mainly cuz just the terrain itself gives a dark lonely sorta feeling...

Eh, I've never been big on Ashworld, it would be decent if the tiles weren't so obvious.

the magma is kinda messed up, like the magma itself has a kinda grey color to it, but the magma to dirt cliffs dont have the grey color on them, but thats about the only thing i think...
