Post by the_fatty »

Version 3:

What i fixed:
-darkened the green letters a little bit
-split the closets, so that instead of two, there are now 4
-new chair!

Version 2:
Image

What i fixed:
-changed the word "Bonuses" from red to white and enlarged it
-changed the word "Classtime!" from blue to red, enlarged it, and moved it

----Original Post----
So here is the map that i have so far:

and here it is showing the attack routes (this will not be part of the map, just i havent irgured out a good way to put it on the real map):

i know, i wont be using those. those are just to show how the attacking system works. the first map is the one you should be looking at more. :wink:

The line about the pimp bonus is unclear. Do you get a +1 for holding any girl and Jeff, or just the ones surrounding him that you listed?

it says in there that it is only the girls adjacent to him (aka the girls listed).

Nice update...Though you might want to use the "Granite 1" pattern for the floor.

you mean sloppy as in very pixelated? if yea, they i agree. but drawing everything by myself would be sloppy as well, due to my poor artistic abilities :lol:

seems pretty much like the other map to me


sorry I just don't see why this is fun. It's just a bunch of territories that connect in the middle with a few on the outside.

I don't see any appeal at all

i have an idea!

Post by laci_mae »

Hi,

I love the idea for this map. I've spent plenty of time in a classroom for sure.

Anyway, you could possibly change the flooring to look like tile. The lines of the floor could run from desk to desk indicating the attack lines. Most schools have the square tile flooring.

Keep up the good work!

Sorry for the duel posts.

I agree that the block formation is a little bland. If you wanted to move to an elementary style room, you could have the desks in a horseshoe shape or in groups. You could also add a reading nook in corner. My main thought is that you should really cheese it up with brighter colors, ABCs, apple on the desk, etc. These details will spur the fun attack/defend positions.

i have nothing to put here

Post by laci_mae »

A reading area and desks grouped or arranged differently would make good territories. You could maybe use the other stuff just to brighten the room.

Maybe a bonus could be the 4 students that brought an apple for the teacher or that were ready for class (had their notebooks and pencils out). You might add a dunce seat & cap or a naughty stool.

I think the inspiration will come with an updated desk layout.
