| Description | "...Heracles' fourth labour was to capture the Boar. On the way there, Heracles visited Pholus ("caveman"), a kind and hospitable centaur and old friend. Heracles ate with him in his cavern—though the centaur devoured his meat raw—and asked for wine. Pholus had only one jar of wine, a gift from Dionysus to all the centaurs on Mt Erymanthus. Heracles convinced him to open it, and the smell attracted the other centaurs. They did not understand that wine needs to be tempered with water, became drunk, and attacked. Heracles shot at them with his poisonous arrows, and the centaurs retreated all the way to Chiron's cave.Heracles had visited Chiron to gain advice on how to catch the boar, and Chiron had told him to drive it into thick snow. Having successfully caught the Boar, Heracles bound it and carried it back to Eurystheus..." |

I don't expect my name written in tiles or w/e. Just a small mention on your next map. I just thought if you were continuing the series it might as well be that.
About the rates, thanks I appreciate that. I will show you the level... can you post me a link to one of your delisted maps?

Completion.
A bunch of things (Pretty much for all your maps).
a) I already looked at all this series but I don't comment often. I rated most of them though.
b) The gameplay is interesting in most of these maps, but very forced. It might be better off without it.
c) The gameplay items also detract from the art.
d) I love the art, really capured the style. Really cool.
e) If I'm gonna look at these could you look at the rest of mine? You may not feel willing to but any anti-snipes would also be appreciated as all my maps were recently sniped by a noob I tried to help.
f) Could my ded map be part of this series, are some cool ass N-art. You're good at both :D

da_guru?
Are you there?
2009-04-01
Just
make sure you play the map, ChrisE, then you'll be forgiven =]

Ok
The description goes like this:
'Yes, that really is the best tree you've ever seen. And no, I didn't make it. What you're looking at is the result of a collab that both of us, that is to say da_guru and
I, have enjoyed very much. He made the tiles and edited the gameplay, I added objects and edited the tiles.
The title refers to the nature of the tree itself and hopefully your reaction upon seeing the
thumbnail, too. We hope you enjoy playing this as much as we did making it.

Woah
sorry for taking so long, I was detained elsewhere...
Anyway, I can't think of a good name for the tileset, perhaps something like 'Picturesque' or something...
I think the collab should be called 'Thunderstruck' and that we should release it first...then release the tileset a few hours later, followed by your other tilesets if you so choose.
I've got the description too, I'll put it in the next post.

Yes, I am
And bizzarely enough I think we say Thunderstruck, that's what I found in the dictionary [dictionary.reference.com] at any rate.
And good title, I'll use that.
Were you planning on submitting the tileset now? Because it wouldn't be a good idea to release them simultaneously, so I'll delay the collab until later.

you answered where everything begun...
you are a native speaker, aren't you? what is the adjective for being struck by lightning?
2009-04-01
The
pleasure was all mine...
I'll get on that title and description right away.

I don't mind
what theme you choose...I mean any tileset similar to this one would be really cool =]

In response
to your comment here [nmaps.net], I'd love to collab, and I think you should be the one to make the tileset, since you're more than capable.
Feel free to do whatever you want with the tiles, I'll be back on here in about 18 hours maybe, so post a comment on one of my maps to contact me if you have any ideas/queries/etc, and when you complete the tiles.
Thanks for the great idea, I look forward to working with you!

Btw
feel free to advertise this series on any of my maps, and please rate if you can, but don't feel like you must, I don't mind.

but
they haven't to play it if they don't want
I also sometimes just look at the thumbnail and leave out the rest in the rating because I can imagine how it's gonna be
and once somebody said: the more beautiful the thumbnail, the more people have a look at the map
...well I don't want to be egoistic but the thing I like most about my maps is the thumbnail picture, but noone except you rates it...
nevertheless thanks, you're cool :)

Again
stunning tileset, but the gameplay wasn't so nice.
I think more people would look at the series if you removed the gameply elements altogether and left them as the beautiful tilesets that they are.
4.5 up
