I kinda like that image. But you're propably right by not using it directly. I'd say it depends on how prominent you use it in the end. If it's a small detail hidden away somewhere, go for it. You can always exchange it later on. Also nice work on the map. I quite like it.
It's been an incredible year long journey, and it is finally coming to an end as we present to you the final version of Palacio for Stage 3. We'd like to thank our playtesters and everyone who gave feedback. We'd also like to appreciate the effort the Mapcore staff has put into organizing this contest. Good luck to everyone

Hi Guys,
Huge congrats to the Big Adventures Contest TOP 10 finalists! Each entry looks incredibly creative and full of excitement. From epic landscapes to thrilling story lines, you can really see the passion and imagination behind each project. Can’t wait to see who takes the top spot—amazing work by everyone who made it this far. Good luck.
Hey Everyone, I'm currently on the lookout for a talented 3D map/arena designer to collaborate on a project similar in style to Clash Royale. The ideal candidate should have experience creating visually appealing, mobile-optimized environments that are not only eye-catching but also strategically engaging. You’ll be working on designing compact battle arenas with a clean, stylized aesthetic, focusing on both functionality and creativity. Knowledge of Unity or Unreal Engine and an understanding of how to balance visual detail with performance is a huge plus. If you’re passionate about game design, have a great eye for color and structure, and love games like Clash Royale, this could be an awesome opportunity to showcase your skills. Whether you're a freelancer or looking to be part of something long-term, I’d love to hear from you. Please share your portfolio or any relevant work! Let’s create something amazing that players will love battling in.
Also I wanted to create a little backstory for the campers who got taken as hostages in the lore of the map.
They are the ones that came with the blue Van and set their tent.
They are a couple of "ufo hunters" who got to the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught by the terrorists.
I generated this image with chatgpt but didn't include it to the files as it's AI...
I like the picture as it illustrates exactly what I wanted but I'm not skilled enough to draw it by hand so I was hesitant to include it by fear of backlash.
What is your take on AI generated stuff like this?
I'm still shy to use it.
My opinion is that one day it will be accepted, but I feel it's too soon. As an artist I feel weird using it, but if it helps get the overall quality of a product up, I'm kinda ok with it...
