Contest Pokémon Card Contest [Contest is Over]

I know

but that would be a goofy ah moment

 

When's sunday anyway

 

Idk I woke up this morning and thought it was tuesday so I’m still tryna figure out if I’m in the matrix or a dreamscape or not

 

I like malicia's track, but featuring that and not featuring L7NX or braw's track is bad for the game.

 

i've been thinking about this for a bit... art is subjective and where the feature line is is subjective and all of this i'm typing is subjective since the featured tracks are subjectively decided by a small group of people. there's a great smattering of tracks that i would feature and an almost greater deal of tracks that i would unfeature. to grade one as "yeah we'll keep this one" is inherently biased which can always be addressed but it'll always be biased.... "yeah but that one was featured so why isn't mine? mine is better!" well that's possible! spruce's martian got featured here and my metro didn't, while it was the opposite on black hat rider lmao. i feel now that neither of them deserved it but if it was to everyone's vote there'd be bias on that scale too...

in retrospect i feel i've only really deserved two of my features so far but that's just me. the goal is to improve and get better, no matter the recognition or success. does getting featured likely make the person work harder? sometimes, yeah! sometimes people sit on that W and never try to get better! so it goes both ways in my head. i'd personally like to see people that haven't gotten that feature go and get em with even more fantastic tracks instead of be disheartened, since the feature was hopefully not the only reason in the first place

 

I'm not saying it as a comparison, but I think it sets a bad precedent to value just the art over tracks that do both the ride and art well (ie l7nx and braw). It's basically telling people the actual game part of the track doesn't matter.

 

pssst is the anti-gatekeeper frhd doesnt deserve but it so desperately needs

 

Mines not even a contestant

 

ooooofff where is that mentioned in the rules?

 

interesting...............hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

 

very true, we need a separate track feature section man... same thing with the checkpoints! one leaderboard the old style, another the current way of going about it. at this current point the single way of doing things is, well i guess limiting is the word. it could encourage trackmakers to really go gung ho on the trackmaking side without trying to kill themselves detailing it all the real fun would come from getting featured on BOTH lists, but i digress.

 

i agree wit you but i dont mind too much. i was very rushed to finish my track and i feel like it wasn't worth the feature. but i get what you mean some of these tracks be featured when mfs be using flipping tools. it lowkey is demoralizing too, i dont plan on creating another track for a min, especially when i get mostly criticism when i just want people to enjoy the track yfm?

 

anyways if anyone were to win this pokemon contest i vote G-raffe like WOW amazing ride and good art. good work everyone even the non-features, you are keeping this game alive!

 

Your art style is definitely a blast from the past in its feel and look, and as endy said perfectly, it's super subjective and everyone who plays it will think of it differently. Some will think it's outdated, some will think it's sloppy, some will commend you for keeping the genre of detail alive, some will be amazed that a person even knows how to draw like that, and that's just what comes with how you draw. It's the same with every single track in every little nook and cranny of this game and no one can escape it so don't take it too harshly when you receive criticism

Plus for what it's worth I feel you were put on blast unjustly. You're doing great with what you have going for you man, can't wait for the bounce back

 

Me waiting for Volund to fail his finals so he can finally grade our tracks for a dumb bike game






Just kidding Volund I’m sure you’ll pass with flying colors

 

no sucking up to judges allowed

 

Eryp I will give you 200 USD if you give me fourth place and a feature

 

Tracks with great art and a great ride are the most impactful and replayable years down the road. I'm a big advocate for ride quality, if I don't want to play the track, what is its purpose in the game?

 

Easy one.
To tell a story
To convey emotion
To simply be art.

How many people visit art museums? Visit librarys?

 

But all of that can be done without incredible detail.
