Subject: Sometimes my hard lacks inspiration...

 

there is no method for making a good room. but i
find once you have one room you are really pleased
with the feel of, more will follow. the hardest part
is starting out and making a game that feels
worthwhile. once you get on a roll you'll be (mostly ;)
okay!

for the blocks, try things like having the same
pattern for earth as for water, but different colours.
try introducing a uniformity and theme to the blocks.
try depicting something (like a bathroom for example
:) or drawing something (hard with the limited room
format i know).

hope that helps

sendy
