iClassic Levels Team - 3

Admiral · 07-20-2017

Keep at it and maybe someday they'll ask you to help them out.

But yeah right now it's pretty exclusive, iClassic development are pretty tight knit and the majority of the levelling work is for projects that not even the graphics team know much about.

So with that said, theres a huge trust factor involved in itself. There's also 'too many cooks spoil the broth'. And like someone else pointed out, I don't think its the speed of the LAT that determines the rate content is released, so whether there were 2 devs or a whole team the amount of content probably wouldn't change much.

If I were you I'd go learn another tileset and apply for another server, for the experience. A great leveller is someone who could pick up any tileset and use it, rather than just focus on one. Not saying this will get you a ticket to iClassic but it will defo teach you a lot about the other side of the fence.

Keep at it!

Just for you guys I'm sharing the version that doesn't have the intro or outro.

That other guy in the video (Bacon) Helped out but I started it and made most of the layout and he helped me make the cliffs the most and extra extra details that I missed.

Strive for greatness! If you keep improving and developing new skills, you'll eventually be better than the pile of dust itself. If anything, apply your skills in an environment that writes you checks, not free labor.

I'm 14 where could I get a leveling job that gives me checks, some kind of third party company that makes 2d zelda games/zelda based games?

Oh wait.

Except that what I'm thinking of doesn't give checks.

Keep on improving and developing new skills. There's people your age that's done extraordinary things so far. Don't let these old geezers discourage you

Hey at least I would get a bunch of gralats.

Sneak peek for part 2:

Why are you recreating the map pixel by pixel? Waste of time and shows no talent.

I'm sure there is ways to download the whole gmap or at least parts of it and run it offline seems like a colossal waste of time to clone it by hand.

Nor will you learn anything, take the style of how they did it and try to recreate something fresh.

Don't you mean tile by tile?

Just a fun project. It's made online anyways. It is fun for me so it is not a waste. I am kind of learning things actually.

*Sigh* Everything I do/make gets looked down upon and everyone acts like it is a bad thing rather than looking at it in a good way and at least realize that it is alright as long as I am having fun doing so. Oh well. Probably just going to be stuck working on playerworld servers.

Don't be a puss, it's just some criticism and if you wanna improve you're gonna have to learn to use it to get better.

And colin is kinda right, if you are ever going to want to be on a dev team like you said I wouldn't waste your time making something exactly like it's already been made. But like you said, if it's fun for you that is great, just don't expect to get better from it and you probably won't be able to use it in any portfolios

Fair enough.

This thread has been derailed it became about me and I started posting work outside of a thread I designed for work.
