Well, I've commented in IRC before, but, since you invited it here.
I like it, I even like the rainbow sky effect.
I think the line style is well in keeping w/ hedgewars style guidelines too.
I do like the playing with mask, I just think you should make clearer (darkening or fuzzing) which parts of scenery are background where it isn't obvious. In particular I'm thinking of the brown land around the rocks.

Oh, and maybe make some parts of the map destructible. Like the toilet.

son, i am not disappoint.

Good work.

Awesome, good way to make a first impression!

I've tried making the background darker. Both completely black (a silhouette), and very dark brown. I think very dark brown worked best.

Maybe I should make the skies darker?

PS: Forgot to mention that the preview-image for the map is all wrong.

I think both black and dark brown aren't as good as the first picture.
Beautiful theme regardless.~

Really cool!

I like the "toilet tunnel"

I also think that the first background was the best one.
I my opinion it should not be darker than the stones in the real background image (far away).

For people opposed to darkening, I hope you try playing it first.

Not knowing what to rope on can be a problem.
Is why the background textures added to maps were darkened before release. (the ones added by Smaxx, that outline an explosion)
Considered fuzzing 'em too, but didn't look good.

Awesome!

This is one of the best maps ever!
I noticed that your preview was all wrong, so I fixed it for you.

I love it! Good work and the little boat is too cute. It looks like it will be a good shoppa map.

Hey, that looks REALLY good. It keeps to the guidelines and looks polished to. I know I could never make something like that

You should go work on the art side of things with Tiy.

I love this map!
How did you make the unsolid foreground?
Have you made any other maps?

The map's using a mask similar to the default Basketball map. This allows you to define non collision (= air), solid ground and indestructible areas.

Ah, I see. THanks

Thanks, I get it now. now I can have lots of fun!

Oh man!
Awesome!!
As Star and Moon said, one of the best maps ever!
Good work!

I see mask.png but don't really see how it works.

Nice looking map BTW. Will try when I get home and look at what you have in there to figure out this "mask.png/ =air" thing.

Nevermind, I totally get it now. When Mask.png is present walkable surfaces are defined my mask not map.

Nemo told me, and it's true. If the mask is red it is not detructible, if it's white it is. They can be mixed too.

Wow what a map what a theme..
I wish everyone wud be intrested in mine like youres..

You know what to do now...

Are you planning to make more changes to this map, like adding detail to the upper right rocks?

Brilliant work.

-not in .14??????
why??????

For the record, Mask: Transparent = Air, White = Breakable, Red = Solid :3

Also, I want this map to be finished D: all that pure grey land on the right side is killing my mood xD Also... it would be nice if the game had an option where we could make an actual "background" picture, that wouldn't be like the sky feature, but actually fit the regular picture. For example, you break one of the houses, and below the regular land, there's another picture of the inside of the place.

You can set that in the theme. Its called "landbacktex.png" or something.

Yeah, but it only works for randomly generated maps. It doesn't work for regular maps that work off a theme

Yes, and if you dont post it into a feature- wishlist there will never be a feature like this

Like for the google summer of code.
EDIT: Also if you have given up on this I would like to finish it Kackoo.
