-{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Our own Halloween level, enjoy.

You are shipwrecked on Alcatraz while you took a trip out to sea on Halloween Night. You found it to be Haunted and abandoned. You must get out of there alive to survive. The paranoia sinks in. Will you survive, or become a lost soul on the island? You decide.

NOTE: This level is extremely easy and somewhat short. Afterlife mode are bonus hard minis that are complementary from us at MG. You've might have missed out with our spectacular minis in the level, so we gave you a little gift of it in the end.
We would greatly enjoy your feedback as we approach the level submission deadline. If anything, we will put to work any reasonable suggestions you have over the weekend. Happy Halloween, everybody.

I won

I thought it was a realy good time for MG to pull out the best art they have ever made. It was truley amazing and bexcause of that they stand a really good chance in the comp.

The minis were a leat down. I was surprised considering MG's history of good minis. The main thing I disliked was that they were in boxes. It's a hard level to work with mini wise but really you could do better than that. Although considering the judges I thought the length was approprite

Pretty nice level I'd give it 8/10 and probly a secong place.

Amazing art. I found the minis really fun and enjoyable. Considering the art, I dont see any way to improve this level.

P.S: Yet another reason why i want to join MG crew

I didn't have time to complete the level (since I need work on failgirl and my Halloween level) so instead I collected feedback. Also I promise to beat the level after the contest.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Sigh, another map that sacrificed everything for the sake of the minimap art.

Yes the art is top notch, but the price that was paid was IMO just too steep. There are decorations everywhere which at times obscure the path and just make the map look very poor in-game. Black blocks were used to make the minis, and as a result there is no connection between the minis and the art.

I hope the future of ee is not just maps that solely focus on the minimap art and force in some minis to make it playable, since gameplay is ultimately what counts the most assuming the art isn't so poor that it detracts from the experience.

BTW, I'm not trying to single this map or pick on it, it's just I've seen so many of these types of maps recently and all of them deserve similar criticism.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

I like the art, but I agree with mustang, there were too much black blocks.
Overall, it was a great map.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

What??????It's done???? I was on there earlier today, and I thought that the minigames were just started. They are definitely not "finished" quality to me. D: sorry

I honestly thought you were just laying about the basic concept, and were planning on re-doing all of the minigames.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

What mustang said

+

NOTE: This level is extremely easy and somewhat short. Unfortunately, the art took a toll with decorations, forcing us to use black box minis. But hey, everyone else has used it so far, so I don't find anything wrong with it as of now. I guess I am now a hypocrite, right dazz?

That's no excuse. That's where you could one-up the rest but you left that opportunity.
Also, I don't see the connection with Halloween?

Looks cool, but plays boring

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Guys, I did the minis and then decided to see if they were good to the people, so they can test them for me.. I realize now that I was wrong with the concept or route. I will get working on it today

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

The art is amazing, the minis are good too but way too many black blocks, also a bit too easy. The level itself could had been a bit longer, cause it's too shot.
The art is great, but not really halloween themed.
7.5/10

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

I thought the rules were "Don't make minis with black blocks, have them flow with the art" Just because others did it doesn't mean it's allowed. It means they broke the rules too. So technically would this be counted as a disqualified level?

Anyways though I love the art, best I've ever seen from MG. I think the art might have even outdone MX's art this time
although the ingame map is meh.

My suggestions:
- re-do the art using blocks (not decorations)
- fix the minis so they flow more with the map (try not to use as many black bricks)
- Try and make the "general effect" of the level better.

So far overall i give this level:
- 3/3 points for art
- 1/4 points for minis
- 2/3 points for "general effect"
- Total 6/10
~Hope I helped

There was never a time when MX made better art than MG. MG has always made better art than MX. The only reason MX gets more praise is because their popular. MX might have better minis but their art is second-rate.

Mg has never made better art than Mx, not until recently. They got to the same level about the time they released that fantasymap. And mg has always had the better minis.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

IMO MG has better art than MX. MX just makes oddly shaped objects with trolled shading. MG puts time and effort into their levels. Seeing as how I used to be in it I would know.

I think MX makes better minigames, but MG has WAY better art.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

heh you don't get it do you failgirl? MX pwns MG at art, MG pwns MX at minis. This is the 1st level of MG i've even come close to comparing the art between them.

@klmaster,
:O maybe that means mx will start pwning mg at minis...
Well, you will see in the next mx map...

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Meh, I agree that right now Mg is equal to Mx in art. But Mg has always been the crew that has had the better minis. But Mx art was quite bad in some of their first levels.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Back on topic :
To be honest : This is kinda disappointing because I like MG and was expecting so much more from this.
The art :
-The art itself is drawn amazingly, really good details on buildings and the shading is impressive.
-I really do not see the Halloween connection, I know that this prison is supposed to be haunted but, no stereotypical Halloween things are present.
-The minimap isn't even original, no one thought of anything, added their own twists or anything what so ever.
-You just copied from this picture:
http://i43.tinypic.com/2e58jkz.jpg
-The water is too bright imo, it looks so muddy...
-Due to the art, your minigames had to suffer.

The mini's:
- I always say - even if the level is arty with black blocks around it, I will still play it in hopes that the minigames will be fun, therefore making up for it.
- I did play the minis up to a pretty far point where I just got bored and left.
- They were easy, like you said, but they were so boring at the same time. There were a few fun ones though...
- All over the place, feels like you drew a path and just went with it, without thinking or adjusting it.

This is really quite disappointing because I was expecting more from MG, this just feels like no thought has gone into this, seems to have gone in the general direction of "Judges are probably noobs who like pretty things".

Looks like MG really needed my help for the minigames.
