Ahoy thar.
It's me again, with the concept of my next map. This one is going to take me a while, as I am going to try to implement the best shading I'll ever be able to do >.>
This is what the map will look like:

Also, I'm not sure what colour scheme I'd like to use, so if you reply, please choose the colour scheme you'd like to see:
Grey stone
Mud 'n' grass
Orange canyonesque colours
Purpley-blue alien type place
Thanks for your time!
The colour scheme is to be canyon colours. Here is the first platform, the floating one on the right of the sketch:

Scenery is still required... If someone could make a variety of similar cactus sceneries, I would be ver grateful.

I'd think it'd look best in the red-organge desert/canyon type of color scheme. Looks like it'd make a great DM/TDM map.

Looks like I'll have to make some cactus sceneries... (Goes to the SML site)

Very nice drawing. It looks promising!
I vote Mud 'n' grass for the colour scheme, because dark colours are pleasant and your other maps had quite good colours.
Also, I hope you'll use some custom scenery files for this map, so that it looks like real '3D' (I hope you know what I mean...).
Good luck! :)

I like the 3D-Style, but I don't know where on the platform the player will stay...[?]
On my map, he'd stay on the top of the outlines of the platform... but this sucks! is there a trick or someting to let him walk in the middle on a 2nd invisible ground?

Itd be nice if you actually checked your SML posts...if you ever wanted a scenery dont just ask and leave :P.

Use screenshots and sceneries.

Spaßicus: there's a trick indeed.

*winks evily at sticky and liquidis x snake*

Sticky: I suggest you make the platforms' top part thin and less profound so that it still looks like 2D, not weird sight angles. Otherwise it will give us headache.

wow

But on the sketch it looks better, I mean the shape.

Will you make updates with every platform? It's really annoying because it keeps your unfinished map on top for weeks. Be less egoistic people.

I agree with Aquarius.
In the meantime, I stole some cactus from Spaßicus's desert map:

Maybe this could help? Maybe.
Use some filters or something if you don't like the current colour.

I designed the map with gameplay in mind. So there. It's got a similar purpose to Ratcave, for small DM games.
