Talk:Mazes of Menace

Structure

It might be worth saying something on this page about the extent to which the locations of special levels are indepentent of each other. For example, Medusa's Island is always above the Castle, whether the stairs to Vlad's can occur on the same level as the Wizard's Tower or FakeWiz, etc. --Andronikus 17:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Illustrated dungeon branches

There was a hand-drawn map of the dungeon branches that I think would make for a good bit of trivia, here, as fan-art. I have no idea of it's origin, least of all it's license, and my searches are fruitless; I wouldn't feel right uploading it here. Though if anyone can find that out I know my way around raster image editors—and I can fix up it's crudeness significantly (see the modified version below). I can tell you this image is quite old, for the internet at least, going back several years (I believe I have a copy on my drive of at around five years ago).

Would be easy to argue fair-use for a small copy of which (were the artist or true source found), but then you'd never be able to read the text labels and it'd really just defeat the point entirely. Pretty sure there is nothing wrong with just linking to it here, though.

I'll be back here—eventually—to add an image of the illustrated branches, and it'd be (perhaps slightly, perhaps heavily) based on this image in question. Then it'd look great, and be enough for me to say it's my own work (which it would be!). A graphical outline, akin to the ASCII outline presented on this page, would be nothing, both in it's making (quite easy) and it's point (as there is no real reason for it to exist). What I mean is an active illustration. And I do mean just a thumbnail, here, at that (it'd be 250kb, at least).

Modified version {170kb} (curves tool, to hurl the contrast up incredibly, not that I couldn't do far more)

Fair warning: I don't like even linking to where I got my copy, being off-site and not exactly notable, or link rot to kick in, but here it is. These issues being why I didn't just add it as an external link.

I apologize if this image has already been discussed elsewhere. I'm obviously not the first person to have seen it. Feagradze 08:10, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Other Maps?

I like the text-based map here but I think you should include maps such as this for, say, SLASH'EM's mazes of menace, or other variants. Or something. -Anon
