Sandy Shores Objective: Create a peaceful beach or summer-themed map. Something beautiful and/or surreal.

Additional Notes:
I'll be honest here: the waves, bridge and ocean took a long while. This was supposed to be finished yesterday, but I spent too much time planning this map and scrapped many of my other ideas. Eventually, I stuck to a bridge than an open-beach resort. The sky was also frustrating; I couldn't get it to look right.
Overall, I'm proud of the outcome.

This looks pretty amazing, Andrea. My only quarrel with this map is the bridge. I don't know if you'd like CnC, if you don't disregard my spoiler.

> The focal point seems to be the trees... I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but in this wonderful scene I'd imagine it shouldn't be the trees rather it should be the island or the bridge.

> point perspective.. the tiles on the the bridge indicates that the point perspective is on the left of the horizon line but the boarder of the bridge indicates it's on the right..? I know it's tough to fix this because of your assets being sprites, but maybe flipping the boarder alone would've made it look consistent.

Other than that I think it's an amazing map.

Ah, yeah, the bridge took quite a while. I had no idea the left side of the border looked that way. :thinking:
Thank you for the CnC. I'll keep it in mind the next time I make a bridge.
