In Response To: Re: Rubicon Rating in Arkives (Ben A. Potter)

: Well, as a mapmaker (and scenario-maker) myself, I can say that I was floored
: by the effort that went into Rubicon. The integration of terms, mapmaking,
: enemies, gameplay, ambience, etc. is the most important thing in a
: successful scenario. Rubicon has it all, and the effort that went into
: linking it with the Marathon universe really payed off. I was irritated at
: those who criticized them (unfairly in my opinion) early on.

: Cheers,

: Ben

Ben honestly, would you think it would be fun if everybody was the same, judged everything the same way. Would you appreciate if everybody loved your stuff and nobody critizied it. I think it is great that there are person who dare to criticize. As a mapmaker I can say that negative feedback helps you, while positive cheers you up.

And for rubicon I agree with you except for the mapmaking, which I found to be too circular and maze like.

Though my only really problem with rubicon was its graphics. They have taken away all the great color from marathon. All colorschemes are based on real colors, which in my opinion is bad. OK for making the texturesets and landscapes non colorful, but for gods sake don't colorize the monsters the same way. Something needs to struck out, neither textures or baddies.
