Suburban Neighbourhood


Hi, folks!

This time your background has to be set somewhere in an suburban neighbourhood or in the neighbourhood of a small town or something. You're free in where to set your background. It could be row houses, a small store, a playground, a park, gardens, a tram stop, whatever you like. You also could have it set in the morning, afternoon, evening, night, or that time of day you appreciate most.

But your background HAS TO
- be set outside.

Your background CAN HAVE
- all the resolutions you can choose in AGS
- as much colours as you want it to have

Now let's begin the fun. I'm looking forward to see astonishing backgrounds from you.


--- Cut and paste from previous competition posts ---
Voting categories

Idea - The underlying idea to the background. Doesn't
necessarily have to coincide perfectly with the theme of the
week, just strike you as interesting/amusing/inspiring; a place
you'd really enjoy visiting within a game.

Atmosphere - How well the image manages to evoke a certain feeling or mood.

Design - How well the elements in the image are designed,
such as landscapes, buildings, decorations, clouds, doorknobs,
etc.

Composition - How well the elements in the image work
together/are positioned in relation to each other.

Functionality - How well it would work when adding sprites, i
ncluding appropriate walking distances, a good angle for
character sprites, clever walkway solutions, easily understood
exits, etc.

Technique - How well the ideas are executed in form of
rendering.

Anyone is welcome to vote, and it would be great if all
participants could provide their own. You don't have to vote
in all categories, and if provide multiple names in a category,
then please be clear about which one is your pick.

Well, more than a week no one entered this competition. Is the topic boring? Should I change it? Should I extend the deadline or make you some coffee?

I really like the idea, and am eager to try some ideas out, but havn't had any time so far. If you'd extend it a couple of days, I'll give it a shot.

How do I post images, smileys and formatting?

Searching is a nice, nice thing...
