Author Topic: Blockland Ads  (Read 5659 times)

We all know how [GSF]Ghost changed Blockland. His maps, so intricate and detailed! And especially the city maps, with thair ads that actually make a point and are amusing. Too bad that Ghost quit, but who's to say that's it with BL ads? That's what this thread is for. In case any rookie(or pro) mapmaker comes along and needs a good idea. share map ideas and Blockland ads here. And to prove my point, I have an ad for that awesome sports car made by that genius phydeoux, the Turismo.



This is an average screenshot, no DOF. Although it clearly states that the Turismo is the center of attention, people can wander off and look at the even more detailed background. This is good for small ads so they can look cool.



This is a DOF screenshot. The main difference between this and the one above is that this one has the background blurred. This really puts the attention to the car. Great for ads that are huge and are a first-see.



And of course, I had trouble with these. For one, I accidentally deleted my first Turismo, and so I had to spawn one with mission editor. but I think there were 30 that fell down to oblivion. Those cool headlights were just mission spawned player's lights, which gave me grief and caused me to delete THAT car. I had fun with the ads in the background, I used just the right color for just the right brightness for each ad, making them look real. And, of course, this is GSF New York City. And I think it is the single most f@#king huge map I've ever seen. I mean, I got lost trying to find times square WHEN I SPAWNED RIGHT NEXT TO IT. Wow... Ghost did something... Anyways, that's just to show ya what I mean.

Aids, my dear boy!

Aids!
I'm not funny.

aids? well, these ads COULD be aids...

those are bad.

bad ads.

Goodness, at least use megashot.

I don't understand how a random car sitting in front of a terrible-looking map and no bricks illustrates a building game.

I do believe the ad is meant to be about the car.

Also, not good.

The car positioning and the lighting is fairly cool (but a brake light glow would add to it), but the map is not a good background. It's bare and undetailed. IMO, it would look better if the background were made of bricks and if the wheels of the car were turned, ie...

Now make it with the Blockland motto and Badspot can use it for his commercials.
