Need a hint?

Post by Piestar »

Revisiting an old project. it was dropped, due to lack of interest from the players, but who knows, maybe tastes have changed. It's based on an old board game, a favorite of many. See if you can guess which one!

Don't use MS paint. Try GIMP, its free to download. Or a trial version of another program, like Photoshop.

You will need to be able to create an image of much higher quality, or the map won't be able to make it through the foundry.
Look at the maps that have been finished for CC (the newer ones, not the old ones). A map has to at least equal the graphics quality of the other maps on this site.

Good luck.

I get your point, but it seems a bit soon in the grand scheme of things. This is simply a preliminary idea, looking for interest. Clearly the idea didn't interest you, so that's strike one against it. That's fine. If enough people think it's a decent idea, then I will invest more time in it. If not, no great loss.

Thanks for the advise, of course...

rather than using the [img] tags around the iamge URL, use the [bigimg] tags instead.

you have:

Code: Select all

What we want it:

Code: Select all

It looks like it could turn out to be fun to play. But the graphics are, well, :sick:. Get rid of all the pictures of bears and moons and beds and all that stuff and make it look like what the real room would look like. Add hand drawn couches and beds and chairs. But before you even worry about graphics, it looks like you will have to learn how to use a better program. Good luck. :)

The middle of the map shows the 'solutions' to the various murders.

This map has been moved into retirement.

If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the CAs will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system ;-)
