Better than your shot last week, but I still find something just...off about this Shot.

Voted for myself, the other two shots were a little weird for my tastes.

You're still got to break the combo of worst sho-I mean not getting a vote from me. *runs* I would have done better if I had more time. But the final screen should look dramatically better since I'm replacing the lava with something less liquid-looking, fixing up the palette and making the screen look less repetitive with the same details scatted around. I want to support AGN's Screenshot of the Week by submitting screenshots every week as I'm an active user of Zquest and a Screenshot of the Week moderator. I also enjoy making screens and love sharing them and getting criticism to nail the flaws. I'll be honest I was disappointed when you admitted you didn't like it but I want to at least know why. Saying you don't like it without any reason why leaves me clueless on how to make it to your liking.

Well now criticism time...!

@Goriya your mountains are too high. I prefer to use them 2-3 tiles high as it's more visually appeal and more easier to work with. Also bushes are too close to the edge and mini trees are all my hatred. Detail feels lacking... I honestly don't know, I feel like this isn't one of your good Revenge shots. It feels rushed compared to your others. It works just fine for a quest though -- I would change the mountains -- just not for a screenshot contest.

6/10

@callitaday I like the concept of this. The graphics and subscreen are great. I feel like something is missing though, I don't know what though. Maybe the lack of details of variety of tiles in general. But don't worry, I can relate to the limited amount of tiles when you start on something that requires extensive amount of time and effort. I have to give it to you though; you know those areas where you only see a glimpse and you think "this is going to be awesome"? You archived that effect, well done.

8/10

Going to have to get into the swing in participating Screenshot of the Week further by posting and giving out criticism to the entries. Also prasi-I mean ignoring my shot of course, I'll leave it up the critics (not Goriyas *runs*) to comment on mine.

(I totally meant ignoring.)

I'm hurt. :p
j/k, thanks for the feedback.
It does seem a bit lacking if you see just a couple of screens, but as you play the quest, you get a style that's a blend of Zeldas 1 and 3. That is, big and open, but not overly busy-looking.

I'm torn between Charizard and Callitaday. Sky Tower is imaginative, and reminds me of Ring Man's stage in MM4 a bit.

As for Fant-er, Death Mountain, the sudden intrusion of Lava (I think?) through the dry-looking field successfully creates a surreal sort of calm before the "holy shit what's going on here" factor kicks in.

This week was pretty good, I had a hard time choosing so I voted for Goriya.

You know its nice to see that Screenshot of the week is still going keep up the good job new screenshot of the week staff!.
And I want to apologize for up and leaving screenshot of the week I just had so much crap going on it was insane. it was hard keeping up with everything that was going one.

Week's Over. *Closes Thread*

Now to wait for Charizard or Nimono to post the results.(Because Charizard told me not to touch the thread after he closed it, which he forgot to do. :3)

Well, the results are in! The votes are, as follows:

@Charizard : 4 votes, 28.57%
@Goriya : 2 votes, 14.29%
@callitaday : 8 votes, 57.14%

So with 8 votes, @callitaday is the winner! Congratulations, callitaday!
