ReTile iI :: Week iiI

its probably too late to jump in, right?

I got another question: What do you mean by not changing drone paths?
Not limiting the drones by tiles seems strange to me, so I reckon you mean not changing their code from e.g. "follow surface" to "random"?

Whatever drone paths you are given, you are stuck with. Placing tiles to force the drones into a certain path is fine, but deleting the drone and replacing it with a differently-algorithm'd one is not.

Also, shouldn't these maps be tagged retile2, southpaw?

To clear up the questions previously asked in this thread.

1. You are not allowed to change the drone-pathing, meaning you are not allowed to change the code. If you are given a drone with a Q-pathing you are not allowed to change it to a W-pathing.

2. All ReTile submissions are supposed to be posted here as either a link to a NUMA map or in BBCode tags.

Deadly Voo.

[Vyacheslav]

Gotta love that title. Deadly Voo.

[remm]

My submission for the first week.

[sTalkR]

hello there,

i have no idea if you still accept contestants, if so, i would love to join. this contest would make a great re-entry for me into the art of mapping. does anyone remember me? probably not. anyway, i will send you 5 maps of mine just in case you have spare room for one more contestant.

House of wax.

I'd like to add a link to the original version, but how do I know what was the original map (the map I retiled)?

I think we weren't supposed to know the orig. map bcause he didn't want us to have any pre-concieved notions on what the actual map looked like.

[origami_alligator]

At the end of the week I'll send out a PM containing the original map numbers which you should put in the description of your NUMA map. (If you submit to NUMA.)
I do not give out the map numbers until after because I want you to build something completely original. I think seeing how a map is built or playing the map before you retile it can influence how you end up building the map.

[Rose]

You mean we don't have to submit it to NUMA? Yessssssssss

If I make a new entry I'll put it in a new post so there's no way you miss it (edits are pretty subtle).

comments: There was much more to this map than there seemed at first. I liked that part the best. Unfortunately I found it hard to move and travel within. If you had made this a bit more... flowy? I probably would have enjoyed it much more. As it stands, moving through it is just choppy for me.

comments: To begin, the rocket dodging in this is supreme. Like a burrito supreme from Taco Bell 15 years ago (because trying to stomach Taco Bell these days doesn't happen like it used to). I found it a bit lackluster in terms of looks but the tiles were scarce and complimentary to the gameplay. Replay value is almost perfect. This is one of those maps I could spend 20 minutes playing over and over again, even if I've already completed it 3 or 4 times.

comments: A bit hard to move around in at times but the drone pathing and multiple routse in this shone through that. The lasers traveled and ran around so well and they always had some line of sight that would either kill you or freak you out enough to know they aren't playing around. Great map!

comments: It may have just been your object set but I felt like you could have done more with the objects anyway. Gameplay was lackluster. There was a perfect design to build a gauntlet run with the gauss turret while the chaingun fired from below. Oh well.

comments: It was really hectic at the bottom. In some ways I liked that but at times I felt that you could have blocked off that upper rocket from the mine section on the right, or had the floorguard stop a bit further away so that it was perilous to travel down there but not too difficult. The top could have used some work, like opening up the laser drone to that area.

comments: It was... not very good. I feel like in some cases the object set has a lot to do with the map but considering how many tile combinations you can come up with there were probably a lot of ways you could have made this more fun. Like sparse tiles up top so that if you miss your footing you fall to your death or something.

comments: I loved the lower left area when I had to make multiple perpendicular jumps to get to the gold. That was fantastic. The laser was great at the beginning and then become too overbearing near the end. Great job allowing the player to squeeze through that area at the end near the door so that one doesn't have to go all the way around.

fantastic puzzley use of floorguards and tiles combined. i liked the replayable value
in this due to the map being a lot more complex than it looked. didn't like the
gameplay much in the bottom sections. The top with the floorguard is definitely the
highlight.

so this had promise but it fell short. the section with the switch was boring without
any enemies and the chaingun was criminally leashed into that tiny bottom section
where it was basically toothless. tileset is that hip and trendy style today, though.
Also, there are no circles in So Circular.

quick and dirty jumps keep the chainguns a major threat throughout the map. the jumps
were challenging and laid out so it didn't get tedious. the tileset is utilitarian,
but a few small details keep it from being boring. not even the unhinged doors in the
middle can bring down your score! nice!
