Hello, guys.
This is my VLDC X entry.
The level is very simple so far.
I'll still make changes in it.
Here some screenshots from Lunar Magic:
Opinions?
that blue is hideous. I like the graphics, but please please take another look at that palette
partner up with somebody that can fix it if you need to just please.ask me if i give a f*ck...
Damn you had me fooled, I genuinely thought it was ExGFX. The way you used the grass tileset to make the cement blocks snow covered is genius!
I just think the palette is a little ugly, especially that bright cyan dirt, and how everything looks so blue. Other than that this looks pretty cool; the level itself seems well enough designed even if there's no super flashy gimmick, altough it lacks a few more enemies/obstacles. Keep at it

Yeah, i was worried about the palette...
I'll make it darker.

I'm glad you're enjoying my level.
Looks like the problem here is the palette.
I'll fix this.
Quick Tip: Don't be afraid to look at snow-themed areas from other games to try emulating the pallete style in your level.
Other than that I like the vanilla SMAS style tileset you've created. Try thinking of interesting enemy/platform combinations to complement the graphics!
Oooh no no no, don't make the palette darker, make it a really light white, almost like snow. Like they said, look at other examples of snow in other levels. Snow isn't blue, like anywhere.
Snow never shades into gray tho... or any other color than blue for that matter.
You'd better off making the dirt the typical light brown color with a touch of blue for coldness.
May I ask how you merged the stones with the snow within the given rules of this contest?
It seems like you changed the dirt of the grass tile to transparent and then merged, which (afaik) isn't allowed...
I'm not sure though, because I can't zoom to check out the exact pixels.
The new palette looks much better, but I agree with MaxodeX about the contrast.

Sorry for the delay to post something here
I decided to rethink the entire level, because I wasn't satisfied with it, so I deleted everything.
It won't be a snow-themed level anymore.
I'm thinking in a "Bubble Forest".
What do you say?
EDIT: Someone is already making a bubble level, so I'll think of something else to do...
You should have kept the snow level. It's really good.
And real snow feeling levels are rare in VLDCs. Your level made me remind of the Ice world from SMB3. The hills usage are pretty cool.
yeah.. i mean if your hearts not in it dont force yourself to churn out an ice level. But if the aesthetics were what were bumming you out I'll agree that they looked really good in that last screenshot. It's already been said, but it's rare to find a snow level in this contest that actually looks like a snow level, rather then a white grassland level.
But obviously do whatever you're interested in, and do it well!ask me if i give a f*ck...
