W.I.P board

Wouldn't it be nice to have a Work In Progress board where users could post stuff they have been working on and share them with other users?

I am working on three levels at a time and I want a place to show them while they're being worked on.

So, do you guys think that we should have such a board?

If you really want to post a screen of you W.I.P level(s) you could post them here: http://www.smbxgame.com/forums/v ... =69&t=3230

That's for custom tilesets, not graphics. What if you wanted to show a W.I.P. NPC?

The screenshots posted in the SMBX Screenshots and Videos thread barely get any attention. Fabman is implying that he would like to get criticism and show screenshots of three of his levels in an individual thread.

Anyway, if I haven't made it clear yet, I would definitely be glad to have a W.I.P. board.

You can make topics like this for other graphics:

And nothing is stopping you from making WIP topics for your art, and music.

Exactly.

A W.I.P board is an easier way to get criticism and praise for your work.

What's stopping you from posting your WIP graphics in Graphics? You can show people WIP levels in videos or screenshots (there's a topic for that). A WIP forum is the kind of clutter this forum doesn't need.

And not get any praise or criticism for it? I don't think so.

I think that the W.I.P forum would be a way to actually get some attention with your levels.

WIP boards are silly and overcomplicate things too much. Art topics having works in progress is fine - there are no rules that say you can't.

Your work gets attention in the screenshots thread.

You should check the IRC more often. You can easily share your SMBX work there and get feedback quickly.
