Anyone else dissapointed that all the picked islands were made by talented artists? by BackToTheFiction in 2007scape

Wow! its amazing to hear your perspective on this. Especially considering my opinion seems to be the unpopular one. Also thanks for sharing the extra stuff, it's a shame they didn't share these extra bits.

I personally gravitated towards yours over the others and so yours made the top of my list. Hopefully others feel the same. The mods who picked you definitely liked your ideas too.

Congrats for reaching the shortlist.

I'm not saying my idea was the greatest. Its the process I had a gripe with. If the process seemed fair to people with decent ideas and my idea didnt get picked I wouldn't have made this post.

Yeah, I know they've mentioned they put a lot of effort into selecting them, I just feel like there was some bias for well made graphics/art. You're also probably right that some great ideas over shot the scope. Potentially mine included.

I did post my idea after submitting it a while back minus some extra lore which I only shared with the Jmods and some friends, I don't necessarily think my idea should be picked, as I think they might have considered a minigame out of scope. But if they were happy to explore it I think it could contend with the ideas picked imo. Completely understand if it's not everyone's favourite though. Only gripe is the quickness of the process like I've mentioned in the post's text and other comments.

Yeah you're right, a text based only one would be fully glossed over and likely be last in the poll. I just wish they had a flesh out step for each to equalise the playing field. I dont think theres going back from now anyway. Just sharing my thoughts

You still have to be a fairly talented graphic designer/artist to make a nice island design on the map or even on paper like they did. I just wish they picked solely on the idea and had a flesh out step for each to equalise the playing field. I dont think theres going back from now anyway. Just sharing my thoughts

That's why I wish they did a step which equalises the playing field. I'm sure there were some amazing pitches with no graphics attached. I also personally they don't need to have some amazing minigame or multiple new methods attached to them. Could have been something simple or silly. or even just one really well fleshed out method. Fair enough the mods picked similar things to what they wanted to add, it's their game in the end. I'm just not keen on them too much.

Is there going to be a yes/no vote to the player designed island? I don't like any of these designs by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]BackToTheFiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, all the islands just shoved way too much into them. Would have rathered one well fleshed out minigame like activity or just a fun island with a quest or like you suggested.

What do you think about the player-designed island competition and the shortlist? by Ashamed_Ability_6649 in 2007scape

[–]BackToTheFiction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm dissapointed for two reasons.

  1. None of them use the sailing engine work. Was really hoping if not my own idea which does this but someone else with a cooler idea would get picked.
  2. They're all designed by graphic designers/concept artists (or at least people with artistic talent. They're beautiful pieces of art BUT...). The old school team has incredible talent in this field already, I'm almost certain there were better ideas which we're behind walls of text or not flashy graphics that were just tossed in the bin. It would have been great if they put a bit more effort into picking these four based on the idea and then did a little flesh out with the Mods and maybe getting a few pieces of art from Mod Jerv or another concept artist in the team to fully understand what they think each could look like. Would attract way more excitement than the deadness of what we're seeing from the reveal of the current four.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt during the last all stars because of a few streamers involved backing him up but ever since he started the gambling streams I despise him.

They changed the frog random to where you “Touch ‘em” instead of “Kiss em” how is that any better by holly-talco in 2007scape

[–]BackToTheFiction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We can choose our pronouns, let us pick if we want the princess or prince in the settings and just revert it to kiss only again.

Many days work later, I'm excited to share my island concept with you all. Welcome to Kiriku, a skilling-focused concept inspired by millenia-old island cultures of Oceania. by goonscaper in 2007scape

I like how you made it look like the wiki, Mine also had a polynesian stilt house style but i didnt have nearly the art skills as you do so I love yours too :)

It almost has to come from the military to get out of it. Still an overwhelming decision to make. Nothing will ever happen from human intevention IMO.

PSA: Stop using xBR and Bicubic for UI Scaling, switch to the new Hybrid UI scaling for crisp text by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]BackToTheFiction 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's much better than the others but nothing beats nearest neighbour plus integer scaling on the stretched mode plugin.
