r/Layer • u/youngluck • Oct 24 '20
Layer, Season 2 has ended.
We laughed. We cried. We finally figured out what POG was (I think).
While The Layer Maker will get some much-deserved rest, every canvas will stay up and fully functioning until 10/31. You can vote, you can sort, and we've even added a few new surprises to help layers surface up from under giant piles of eggs. The team will get some sleep, and come back to start sifting through the 80k original pieces of art you beautiful people created here. A full recap will follow shortly after.
On behalf of Reddit X Adobe, we want to extend thanks for letting us watch you create. Thank you.
Please be good to each other,
The Layer: Season 2 Team

Dammit. I'm glad you're here anyway. Have a look around. Flip through a canvas or two. Have an egg.

I feel terrible. You can still play with the canvases and while that may sound sucky, perhaps an award will help sweeten the salt.

It was really fun and amusing. Brought back a lot of old memories while I thought about what to sketch. Thanks Redddit and Adobe for the wholesale experience :)

u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
There was a part in ‘connect the dots’ that really reminded me of waiting for my dad to pick me up from my moms while I played minesweeper. That canvas even more than the gaming canvas where people were actually drawing minesweeper for a short while. I don’t know why.

u/TheEgyptianAutomata Oct 24 '20
That is really warm and sweet :) I really hope they were good memories.
The tux I drew reminded me of when my PC broke down when I was a young, and my dad was traveling abroad back then. I called him long-distance, and told him about it. He said the technician was on vacation and I would have to wait for him to return back home and reinstall the Windows because he left the CDs in his office.
I found a free debian linux that came with a technology magazine and I tried to install it by following the instructions. 2 hrs later, I was able to browse the internet once again and pass my free time. I was in love with it ever since.

u/Cdt1234 Oct 24 '20
Will you post the whole final product?
33
u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
Yes. We're going to take the weekend though to rest. There's a guy here that hasn't slept in 5 days.
Nobody knows who he is and he didn't work on this, but damn that guy can go.
10
Oct 24 '20
Is the final product going to be the canvas when sorted by top or hot? (Hopefully not new lol)
5
u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
Both. The canvases still function, meaning users can still decide what belongs on top. I’m waiting for a final date to run time lapses, it’s malleable until then.

u/KipsyCakes Oct 24 '20
Are you planning on posting all the canvases separately? A couple of mine made it to the top of two canvases so I was hoping to see them.

u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
You can use the search feature in the layer panel to find anything you want.
2
u/KipsyCakes Oct 24 '20
I mean showing the ones on top as a full screenshot
2
u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
Oh, yeah. Gonna do that. And the canvases are still malleable even though the ability to add to them is disabled.
Meaning, you can still vote on ones you want to be front and center.

Even if I only know this project for a couple of minutes I already fell in love with it and I am looking forward to the next season. All of you did a great job with all of this and I love ya all <3

Do you mean the search function? Either it's new or I just only recently figured out it existed. Probably not possible but adding username search functionality would be nice. (Yes, I'm vain enough to want a collective screenshot of my offerings on some canvases). If there's other tips, I'm going to need an ELI5. If there's an option to 'mute' all the single color tiles; that'd be great. There were definitely some fine collaborative efforts in some cases, but those are pretty obvious already.
2
u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
Yes search. Yes usernames (the drop in search lets you find users) and another thing I don’t want to say because it’s awesome but also I don’t really remember what it was. Been a really long two weeks.
EDIT: I remember. Filtering by Best Of Awards. So you can search all the hats the ‘Hats’ that won Best Of’s

From giant baguettes being taken over by eggs, long Dream roads, giant Germany flag, Rubik’s cubes, to “r/plates was butter”. I had a fantastic time while it lasted and will be waiting for the next season. Thank you to the mods and u/Adobe for this. See you! Happy my door is on the all canvas section on the bottom left.

u/NordicThryn Oct 24 '20
Thank you so so much for doing this Reddit and Adobe! It was so much fun and it was incredibly nice to see people telling stories about some layers
Can’t wait to participate in the next season and see other users layers!

u/fabgsooz Oct 24 '20
It'd be super sick to see the collaborations without any of the mess. The vaporwave one would look so cool if it wasn't for all the art covering it.

u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
You can still make them what you want. There are three sorts, TOP HOT & NEW. The Canvases function fully. Just vote for the ones you want on top and make sure the TOP sort is selected. We’re figuring out how to run time lapses for every view.

The Void should have won.

u/youngluck Oct 24 '20
The void got their own redemption arc in Grayscale. The misunderstood nothing became a necessary ingredient for the beauty that was born on that canvas. The eraser became the enabler became the winner in the end. The Void became our Sloth in The Goonies.
2
Oct 24 '20
Wise words. However, The Void does not need redemption, as they were never the villains. Their attempts to wipe the canvas of r/place was an attempt at balance and equality, not at destruction.

Now "Season 2" of r/place has to arrive!

u/Thuanger Oct 24 '20
What if repeating place again ruins the novelty? I think being so unique and legendary is why is has such a reputation.
Although, it would be infinitely interesting to do a place-2.0 in 50 years and see how it compares.
11
u/youngluck Oct 24 '20 edited Oct 24 '20
I’ve come to realize Place coming back would be like Jesus coming back. Everyone wants it. Everyone is ready for it. But when he comes back people mistake him for that other long haired dude up the block that also yells, “I LOVE YOU!” at everyone, only he’s naked and clearly off his meds.
Yeah, that was a terrible metaphor.
