Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Once again, I will say, that this was a test run with the level. WE ARE GOING TO FIX IT. We just needed some help with your feedback and suggestions, and we clearly need a run through with the minis again. And I will make sure of it that the minis implement with the art as I will with my members.

Thanks for testing/viewing/rating the level. I really appreciate it

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

I'm disappointed.

The thing I don't like is, you started this level without even consulting the other members, if you had asked me, I would've suggested that we actually create a level with balance between minigames and art. Shift and I had started something like that, but you scrapped it, and then shift left. When I joined the level that you started, you had already started the art, and I didn't want to tell you that the minigames and the level feel would suffer from your decision, hoping that the level would still turn out ok.

In case you don't know by now, I'm strongly against black box minis. I have never put them in my levels, and I never planned to until now.

Also, you finished all of the minigames without any other members, it looks like. So far I have not even edited a block on this level. :/

Hopefully you don't kick me out for being this honest, because I still hope and plan on this level turning out great.

I am not going to kick you out for being honest. Who do you think I am? Chewy? lol jk

Anyways, when people say that the art makes up for the minis, that is just unacceptable. Guys I didn't actually intend to keep the minis this way anyway. I just wanted people to see my level and play these atrocious excuse for minis. Apparently, I should have waited before revealing.

Now, I'm not sure how I'm going to say this, THIS IS NOT THE FINAL DRAFT. We will fix anything that you guys have suggested. I just want your guys' opinions on the map, that's all :3

Nice excuse, but seriously,Ii wouldn't want to waste my time making "draft minis" just to see how good the art. All lies.

Anyways, besides from your "minis" the minimap looks great but shouldn't you guys explain the storyline instead of a story. It would be creative to add a twist to it.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

There is a twist, I guess. You fight to survive but you end up dead anyway. You restart back at the beginning, and then you go through the whole level in an entirely different route.

That's kind of what I could come up with. Anyone of you have a better idea?

Also I started outlines of the art so I plan to use none to little Black box minis (if so, they should be used for borders.)

Played. Won, although it was hard to tell the end. Do you end at crown, or when you get all coins?

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Absolutely amazing art, but the minis were very disappointing. I don't see any Halloween element, either; the simple fact that it's based off of a scary military facility doesn't give it a Halloween theme.

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.

This.

I know you probably aren't very happy with me, Shy Guy, but you have to understand that, given the circumstances, it was the best decision. I think I would do it again, too, even after seeing this masterpiece.

EDIT: On a side note, 900th post! 1bigsmile1

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

I understand, shift. You were in desperation for a group when we weren't there for you. I would have done the same thing.

Okay guys, I took all the advice you gave me, and I put it in our level. Try it out now, tell me what you think

New and Improved Alcatraz. Halloween elements arent really fitting in, but we tried. Minis are well improved. (From my point of view00. Try this again and feed the feedback in.

Good luck.

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

I should update the minimap. Then you can see the newly added Halloween elements.

Meh, I'll update when we are completely done c:

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

Try making the path a bit more obvious, unless you already did that. I was attempting to play it yesterday, but I was like "Where the hell am I going?"

Thanks Panic. That seems to be a common mistake. I'll get to it as soon as possible.

And finally the level is done!

Re: -{MG Crew}- Alcatraz

I made arrows out of backgrounds to indicate on where to go.

I won't be on much tomorrow, except maybe at night. I'm spending some time with my family. If anyone needs to make any last minute changes, that's fine.
Tomorrow night, I'm submitting the level.

Good job everyone.
