I’ve seen much worse first tilesets!
Much, much worse :)

The eyecandy is not that great, but what’d you expect from a first tileset?
It has most of the standard tiles tough, and even eyecandy decorations and a second platform type. You can’t say that of many early tilesets. ;p
There are forgotten tiles tough, there are no diagonal tiles with a yellow bg(the yellow bg this tileset contains is unmasked and for use in layer 4) and there are no H-poles.

Now, the background is funny, but because it uses the same color as the foreground, there is too little contrast between the fore and background. I don’t know how the author should have solved it, because it adds to the mood too. Maybe make it another kind of dark, just a little bit different from the foreground. The eyes should have been a darker red.

The masking is pretty okay, tough the diagonal tiles are quite useless because you can’t walk up. This is a masking bug. One of the little masking bugs there are, if there are any except this one.

For the rest, well, this is a newbie set. :)
Tough I have to say, at least it has a theme and isn’t as bad as many other tilesets around. If it had a bit more texture, and some more shading(shading is nonexistant :)) it might have gotten a 6.5 or a 7, depending on the quality, but I’ll go with a 5 now. In my book a 5 means effort has been put into the tileset, but it still doesn’t have very good eyecandy.

This shows even Disguide can make ugly sets :P. The set is small, and looks very “MS-Painty”. It has the same evil eyes as the “Darkened Landscape” set, weird spikes (only 5 pixels high), some little bones, some big bones, weird yellow caves which don’t fit too good in the black/red layout of the set, tubes, Something weird (ah, now I see. It’s a spider web), vines, arrows, stuff to make platforms from, and some things I can’t find the “meaning” of. I think it would be unfair to give this higher than a 3,5, because I gave several 3,5s to tilesets with the same quality. The minor setback is the quality. It looks very painty and that’s bad. Well, that’s it. Now skip to the next review..

To FQuist: I don’t have a book with ratings inside ;)[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

Another nice tileset by Disguise. Notice how, when people are scrabbling for the 1000th upload, they’re cranking out as much as possible?

Well, onto the review. The tileset looks good and has some basic tiles and a bit of decorative stuff like headstones. It would be better if there were more stuff, maybe a cracked headstone, variations, some creaky old fences, etc. Also, animations. Blinking eyes, wriggling roots or whatever. Otherwise the tileset can look a little plain. Not quite up to usual quality, but as it’s a remake of an old tileset, I’ll let it slide.

I’ll review this level later, just got up.
On another note, if you look at the downloads, you see uploads by Cell about 5 times. Looks like you were cranking out levels in a hurry.

Still can’t d/l this…

Dear Mirrow,

The background in 8-bit sux but the tileset is nice. Ditto what everyone else said above.

Sincerely,

BlurredD

P.S. It’s easy to fix that 8-bit thing. Since you didn’t properly make the background colors with a palette editor (or whatever), it came up all messed up. Just download Palette Suite (which is available at my website) and fix up the palette so the BG.

It also mite be the fact that the BG colors were supposed to fade to black and yet they didn’t. This happens since the final colors in the BG color section aren’t used anywhere else in the tileset. Just make one of those one-tile palette things (as seen in Blade’s tilesets) and that should fix your problem. And I hope what I say here makes sense.

O wait, was the BG problem fixed already??

The Edit: I’m saddened by the way my old reviews were formatted. My opinion has somewhat changed since then. Basically, I think the tileset has a good variety of types of tiles and all, but I’m not too fond of the way all of the tiles look. Most of the tiles only consist of a few colors, so they look flat and a bit dull. And I hate the look of those sand tiles entirely; they’re too squared off and don’t really fit in at all. Also, the 8-bit background, after all this time, still needs to be fixed—or refixed since it apparently was fixed at one point. On the contrary, there are some possibly useful features in this set that almost make up for this, such as the invisible vine and a few of the animations. Overall, it’s a tileset that may take some getting used to, but it has a lot of useful tiles in it. It’s worth using at least once. 8.2 is my new rating.[This review has been edited by BlurredD]

Must… kill… Bjarni… Cool…

/me reaches for knife.

>:D

These are some nice levels that Blade made. There’s only one problem though: the Heaven’s Treasury level needs to be updated so that it can be more compatible with the updated version of the heaven tileset that Agama made.

Other than that, it’s a d/l recommendation from me :P

Nononono, he means this is the 1000th upload on J2O. Period. Not just by him. The trouble is, there are less then 1000 uploads, but this is still the 1000th. Several have been deleted, so while you can not download all 1000, a total of 1000 uploads had been made when he uploaded this.

I’m not going to either download or rate this. But, I’ll give you a hint what my rating would be if I downloaded it, then rated it.

Excellent work, CelL. Though I think, no matter what you say, you make levls too fast. On the day a tileset’s uploaded, you make a level with it. I take days. But then, your method is pretty slapdash.
The eyecandy isn’t amazing, as you can’t get all that much eyecandy with this tileset, but you certainly did what you could. One might almost think a little too much.
The tiles are used well, no bad connections that I noticed, and the design’s good. Could use a little work though.

Hehehehe, I was able to know that much about the level without even downloading it! Am I cool or what? :P

I forsee usage in October, 2002. Bwahahahaha.
Good things:
The artwork is excellent.
Most basic tiles are there.
In the style of Epic’s tilesets, even the basic tilesets have many variations.

Bad things:
There really isn’t anything other then basic tiles.
No ? block. Nobody ever uses them, but you should always include one anyway.
THE EYES ARE SUPPOSED TO BLINK! WE WANT ANIMATIONS!
The smiley face really destroys the atmosphere… can’t you get an evil looking one?

Craccoboy, Splash, this isn’t an old tileset. Try reading the description, it’s a Remake!

I agree with Splash, it’s too basic.
This isn’t really useful either. And uploading bad, old tilesets will only bring your average down, so I suggest you upload the tilesets you think that are the best.

The bg wall tile is not that bad, but the floor tiles totally don’t fit with it. There are nice vines.
The background is nice.

Most of the rest is ripped.

Sorry, I can not see why this was rated higher then 7. Sevens should be given when the tileset is pretty usable and nice.[This review has been edited by Fquist]

Sorry, I have been a bit harsh. While this tileset isn’t really usable, it’s still nice for a begin. But I am not going to rate it higher because it’s on of your first, we do not want to screw up the ratings here.
Continue making tilesets, and good luck![This review has been edited by Fquist]

Hehehe…CelL,

(looks at all ratings above and is surprised) -the tileset is way too basic. way too basic! It looks pretty nice (well…Disguise, you can do better these days!), and it only contains some basic tiles and a background. Can’t really say more about it. Tileset freaks may want to get this…
Stop uploading old tilesets Disguise, we want new ones ;)

a 6.5

This tileset has all the basic tiles, but not much eyecandy, the eyes at the background are cool, and the gravestones too. but I think its a bit boring…

You call this scary?!!!!!!!!! I don’t.:-P

Well, anyway…it is quite a good tileset for a first and the eyes are very cool. :-) The tileset has got all the basic tiles so, I’ll give it an 7.5 and a download recommendation.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

just a question; how many levels are you making a day?
and you still got the time to play jazz2
how long are the days there
on Crysilis?? :D

Yes, Tribal Temple CTF is quite good. It has got excellent gameplay and ammo placement but there are far too few of the ammo making it annoying and the eyecandy really SUCK. There are also too many carrots (3 carrots and an full health one) so this isn’t exactly the best CTF lvl Cell has created.

Now, lemme see…ehm…this lvl gets an fairly good 7.0 from me and an download recommendation.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.
