LMAT Beyonduary Theme Poll
 

Please vote for the options that you would help create! I'm heading this up since Unknown is busy with school... this is copied from the Beyonduary and linked threads, if you have any other ideas, vote other and please describe in detail. This isn't really a comprehensive list, and the one with the most votes isn't necessarily what we'll end up doing, but it's a start.

(Hey admins, I made a poll but "You can only add a poll to a thread within 10 minutes of posting the thread." so if you could add a poll, that would be great!)

VOTE FOR THOSE THAT YOU WOULD HELP MAKE

12 options:

Dark underground dungeon
Animation-heavy waterfall
Pandora ala Avatar
Fractals
Shipboard
Elemental Temple (Air/Lava/Deep Sea/Ice)
Factory
Spaceport/Airport
Wood Processing (Sawmil/carpentry/logging)
Junkyard
Steampunk
Other (Do specify)

No poll close date
Yes allow multiple
Yes make public


Thanks!

I'd like to help for dungeons, fractals, wood processing, or steampunk, although I'd be willing to help out to some extent on just about any theme if I can find the time.

Well, I still would love to see a waterfall theme, with rocky cliffs and bright skies and such, but it would indeed be a bit animation heavy, unless we make Disney-water; you know the kind? Where only three frames are used to show the water is sparkly.

That said, I'd try to help as much as I can with any other theme.

Fractals sounds interesting. But how is that theme supposed to be used in a tileset?

Instead of going for a single conventional theme, maybe mix themes together for interesting results?

For example, something like dark underground dungeon could be combined with modern elements, instead of being totally medieval. Such a theme would require more creativity.

Also Factory?

There are many styles to make a factory with. In fact, it's possible to make a versatile set that could be used for factories, spaceports, buildings or other similar structures. In much the same way a set like Top Secret III has great versatility. Although I brought up in the past that styled sets are better for themed levels, because you won't run out of space for tiles as easily.

My vote: Other

medieval underground factory of the inkas

I made my vote. There are many interesting options but in the end I chose to vote only for those I would find myself creative enough in.

I think either the elemental temple or the spaceport would be a good idea, and I've wanted to do a factory for ages. But whatever is chosen, I've wanted to help with an LMAT for a while, and you can count me in. =]

so when this will be released? in winter 2012?

Wait, we're supposed to release a tileset? I thought we were trying to doodle a little and see how many people we could get to wait for a tileset that may never be finished.

you guys are impossible

So when is the voting over?

AKA, winter, 2012

While we're on the theme of factory and such, how about clockwork? Spinning cogs, giant pistons, huge towers, etc.? That might be a cool theme for a tileset.

Make a city set with a total blizzard. Snow everywhere... Could put a day or a night mode... Day could be really nice with a sunset or something, and night could just have streetlights and whatnot. Skyscrapers and cheese. :o

You, sir, need to smoke less.

Clockwork is close to what my thought of Steampunk was, except steampunk would be big wooden gears driven by steam and waterfalls and clockwork would be big metal gears driven by springs.

I think some people are confusing "vote for those that you'd help make" with "vote for what you'd like to see"...

I am, of course, like every LMAT, trying to be as helpful as I can. My imaging skills may not be that good but at least I do things nobody else wants to (just take a look at 20% of the tiles in LMAT Valentine).

Hey guess what? I'd also like to help, but I can't and probably won't. The only difference here is that I actually read threads before voting.

I think in this particular case 'would' means 'will', it's just more humble that way

CrimiClown (the idea about clockwork), Rag and Grytolle: I like all of their ideas, and I think one of them should be the next lmat. Of course the decision isn't mine, but I'd appreciate some feedback on the ideas as to why they aren't good enough or preferable ideas for this lmat..

Will do boss. =( *backs away slowly*

It seems space theme is in the lead. I just hope that its a lot diffrent than the current lot we have at the moment. We have a fair few. Still I wouldn't mind seeing something a bit diffrent. I voted for Shipboard, as to my knowledge Iv'e only ever seen one, Wood Processing, would be another good one to do imo.

Spaceport and Elemental Temple are WINNING! If you disagree with these results you should do something about it.

By the way, no one's voting anymore. Couldn't we start making some cool tileset? Please?

Right. Next poster gets to decide if we're doing a Spaceport/Airport or an Elemental Temple.

spaceport/airport (please something creatively executed!)

I was wrong. Someone voted. Yay. The Elemental Temple is winning, and it was my favourite idea from the beginning. I don't know does it matter after FireSworD post, though. Are we going to wait for even more voters or start one of these?
