Room of the Week 2012 - Archives

[Smiley]

Just to prevent mods from skipping a week:

No background because the guy who made that tileset hasn't made one yet.

[Zhs2]

This is a tough decision. Shadow's tileset, featured in his last RotW, is still very cool (no pun intended.) The rather blank bright sky is meh. SMILEuser's tileset looks aliased and drawn by hand, which looks cool in its own right but I am dubious as to the nature of its use in Super Metroid or Zero Mission (if this is indeed for those games.) I'm voting SMILEuser just for the ominousness factor of that room.

Greetings metconstians.
So, only two options this week.

I hate my name
[spoiler]Well, I have little to say about this room. made it in like 10 minutes. had four minutes left so there are some not great parts of it. Also, I had clouds, but the palette was a little messed up, so I took them out.[/spoiler]
SmileUser96
[spoiler]Okay, So I love the alien feel of this. It really works well. However, the tiling isn't ideal. Also there should be a filler or at least transition to black. As is, there's just too much straight black. Also, no background is a bit disappointing. I does look interesting though, very different.[/spoiler]

[Qactis]

Agreed with Shadow about the filler/fade to black tile being needed

[Black Falcon]

Voted SMILEuser96, though I agree with the others it's lacking a background,
but the tileset itself is really smooth looking and has high quality.

I voted SMILEuser96 because oh god that tileset and the room design is so beautiful.

My only complaint is the huge contrast, but it looks really nice!

[Crashtour99]

Voted SMILEuser96 because, imagine that room with a green glow fx... 

[MetroidMst]

I would never do su- Oh wait... I would.

O °o BUBBLES! o °0

I all honesty, I do happen to really like Smileuser's tileset and how he userd it. Shadow has a nice thing with his tileset, but as I mention before, the plain black surface against the BG mountain doesn't appeal visually, and others have mention the sky is kind of lacking.

[spoiler=I win by default][spoiler]

[Malpercio]

[spoiler=No you don't.][/spoiler]

[Smiley]

If you ask me... yes he does.

[Malpercio]

Depends what the mods have to say.

[Quietus]

If last week is anything to go by, then they'll just hold fire until at least two entries are in.  Like now.

[Quietus]

EDIT: Ninja'd. :heheh:

FlamingCobra for me.  'Cause I like the scientists.

[snarfblam]

Yeah, updating RotW takes a few steps. You just happened to jump right in the middle of it.

Anyways, I voted for Maleprcio because I find this:

Format - Submit editor screenshots of the room, not in-game screenshots.

more compelling than this:

please avoid or convert .bmp files

I'm not sure how that room was put together, but unless you pasted Samus onto some background tiles, you're a big cheaty bastard. But I guess if you did paste Samus onto the background, you're a big clever bastard.

He more than likely pasted samus there, because i see no HUD.
The Bmp format could have been easily avoided though.

Voted cobra because the tiles were used better.

Is it not possible that it's from a custom game, or a custom editor, since rooms are allowed from any Metroid related source?

It's from Fusion/ZM with some elements pasted into it. I can't remember which ones are pasted in, but I know it's definitely Samus and the Metroid following her, and probably the scientists too, along with the uncaged Metroid at the top right.

Also, voting FlamingCobra.

[Yuki]

Actually,  if he made it in game maker, he could have just put those in. the software allows for something like that

But this still doesn't mean it's cheating in any way...

...because of this.

I'd like to point out that the rules say that making modifications is discouraged, not cheating.

[ProjectXVIII]

Pretty sure the Samus sprite is the SA-X enemy, DH shows enemies in room screenshots, iirc.

[Quietus]

I'd like to point out that the rules say that making modifications is discouraged, not cheating.

They state that modifying your room after you've posted it is discouraged.  The picture hasn't changed since it was posted, so it's irrelevant.

The point is that nobody knows where the shot is from, so we have to judge it on what is presented.  If foul play is later discovered, then I'm sure it's no trouble for the mods to just disqualify somebody.

No, it says after the screenshot is taken, not posted.
