That level is a terrible mess. There are crazy, random tiles everywhere. It's simply impossible to follow!  

Most of the levels he's shown in this thread are just as messy. Not even Zodiac would hire these people.

Completed: Testing Phase

Do you expect all players, who have no experience with making levels, to have the ability to be hired on servers such as Zodiac? Right after testing the online levels editor even?

The point is to hold a contest, and teach them what to do and to do it well. :]
Then see who does the best... Winners have the chance to be hired.  

Nice.  

I think you missed the point. I was calling Zodiac's levels crap.  

those levels looked crap. The water was not natural looking but more of a line of blue and the island one, the island looked likes a few lines put together and didn't look like a island. Door to a cave is missing and looks like a rectangle and the beach doesn't look like a beach basically my grandma could make better levels.  

Maxy, for new people trying things, you should try not doing negative reinforcement. It usually does not make others get better. ;D

I would however like to see a video of your grandmother making levels though if you don't mind...

Stop trying to suck everyone's ****. If nobody received negative feedback people wouldn't have a reason to do anything better.

You can give positive constructive criticism that can be looked at as harsh. It is my choice whether or not I prefer to be nice or rude to others. :]

I might try to have kind comments back to you, still against you, yet I doubt many would call it 'sucking your ****'. I just prefer not to use harsh language or flame.

Anyway, more on topic... Sadly I'm not very organized so I don't have names :/.. Late newcomers, old people kicked... some switched around... Sorry.



Room - 02 : Askew was hired as a LAT. : Well done.
Could Fix: Redundancy in tables, one rock if picked up would show a tile error, fence pieces could be layered in the future.


Room - 04 : Not bad.
Could Fix: Missing corner pieces, chairs look odd around the table but uses nice perspective which is a plus. Once again could use layers for the top part of the pole fence thing, and I need to redo the corner house piece.

Could use more details to the ground.



Room - 05 : Good job.
Could Fix: I forgot to clear my block. D: The level looks alright, however the bushes through the grass ridges don't look that great. Almost as if saying the ridges aren't making the ground go up or down.. Can't really fix it but to redo the bushes not over many ridges. The house is kind of funky too... Other than that the level looks decent. I've used transitions like this in the past, however sometimes it doesn't look great, layers should fix it. (The road and grass) Also, some bushes can be hit and show errors.



Room - 06 : Not too bad.
Could Fix: A 2x2 dirt hole type tiles are creating a tile error in a grass corner, and the roof looks slightly plain... Also, some rock shadow looks kind of odd and would be weird if picked up. I've helped tell you about one bush line, but the other two were left with black edges. Could do a little better for the ground details but you did alright. Also, the roads are too small on the bottom, and look too natural.. but the place looks like a mansion so could possibly be as such.



Room - 07 : Alright
Could Fix: The house looks semi alright, the top is slightly too far up front, and some of the walls are using wall ends which I've mentioned in the past.
This level looks too symmetrical and has tile errors / missing grass corner pieces. More details and ridging could be added. The entrance is just weird though...



Room - 10 : Zolton - Alright
This level is definitely unique... However, it is also full of tile errors, and some not even because I believe you have the wrong tileset. Need to work on the ground details like ridging and details in general, but overall the creativity is good.



Room - 15 : ._o
Could Fix: Well.. It did look like someone did actually try and start something... Yeah...



Room - 20 : Good start.
Could Fix: Well.. can't say too much.. there really are no details but the bushes are missing the correct corner tiles. I also like that you are using a small tilesheet in the top left. I think the roads are too ... perfect? and not that natural in a rural area. Not sure why there are chests on the roof.



Some of these houses were way too big.

Should there be a final assignment or should this be it? I feel like for this being the first assignment some of you have learned a lot so far.

The next assignment will be quest like.
