Guild of Writers

Andy, the problem with this contest with regarding getting scores from Judges, is that many of them were away from home spent with their families and friends over thanks giving

I've also created a feedback thread, to have a consolidated list of points

I think I have most of the points against

Edit: If disregarding rules is funny, then I forgot to laugh

This weekend i'm going to do the RAD3 hall of fame, does any of the contestants object to having a picture taken of their Age?

If not

Is there a particular angle you'd like it to be portrayed in the hall of fame?

Ideally take a picture that shows most of the stuff in my age (yet doesn't give away the hidden stuff like the garden-cube too much). But because of the way the age is built, anywhere is fine as long as you don't use flymode.

Maybe choose a large cube to take the picture from so you get a good view.

I took the liberty and posted one picture of each over at MOUL, I hope you approve.

and Lontahv what an atmosphere you created well done. I totally get what you mean, after reading the Readme.txt. I do hope you expand on this.

Szark, nice screen-caps of the ages! You really captured them well and also didn't give too much away.

I have things to expand in Tre'bivdil. When my age-creation battery recharges I'll take a look at filling in that empty room and lighting the stairs down.

Cheers that is a relief. Yeah I try not to give too much away. Got to tease a little!

Good things come to those who wait. I will be patiently waiting.

Thanks to all who participated! I explored them all, and enjoyed it. Here is my feedback if someone is interested:

For me, Lontahv and Whilyam were the best. At first sight I liked Whilyam's Age more, but after revisiting the Ages, I concluded that Lontahv was the best. Initially Lontahv's Age seemed a bit out of place in Uru, it's very different from the Ages we know from Cyan, but the Age is very well done. The shading is very good and the objects (like the bridges and plants) looked very realistic. I like the artistic approach... very original. I also like the fact that you can see so far.
Whilyam's Age looks great as well. What I like most is that is has a proper story, so that it really feels a part of the D'niverse. If the notebook in the Age was written by the DRC, one would almost believe it was one of Cyan's Ages. (Besides the story inside the Age, there is also more backstory for Bimevi in Whilyam's Toroolbah) The Age was a little big laggy on my pc though... I hope you'll be able to fix that.
Eder Bahvahnin is also nice... especially the stream and the waterfall and the bridge. I think I like the bridge most... it's realistic and it consists of multiple parts. It's also nice how the water rises against the banks of the stream. What I think is a shame is that the Age has a 'greyish' look. I don't know how I should explain it properly... I think there should be more contrast. The grass a bit greener perhaps. The Age is also quite laggy and once, the Age crashed (plants showed up, but the ground was black).
About Ulteemah... I was impressed by all the textures you made yourself, boblishman! The lift is quite nice, but it takes quite long for the lift to come down and go up. Well done, how part of the lift lowers so you can step unto the lift. The plants outside were quite original.
Eder Licinius is also nice, although the low quality of the distant landscape texture detracted from the Age. The Age looks a bit fake because of that, which is a shame because other things were done well. I liked the cave, which surprised me, and I'm curious if the vehicle will transport us to that castle in the future...
Trylon's Age also has an artistic feel to it... very different from known Ages. The tower was original and the view was stunning. First I thought that the world was actually round, but then I noticed the seams and found out that it was a cube! I hope you'll be able to hide those seams.
Tahm Hevo is really well done for your first Age, SeanMc74! You learn fast. Even with animations in the sky. Great that you entered the RAD contest. I look forward to seeing more of you in the future.

So thanks everyone for the Ages.

Oops! Sorry, Grogyan - I had already taken Szark's wonderful pictures and update the Hall of Fame.

That's ok, at least they are done.

Though my personal feeling that both Sean's and Bob's Age screenshots show far too little, that is why I asked if there is a personal favourite angle the Age writer has
