This is Part 2 of 3….The full introduction is written in Part 1 if you are interested.
Making Mazes - 5 years later - a comparison - Part 1
Let’s compare 5 more mazes and see how much better the newest mazes are.
Part 2 Mazes then and now.
Butterfly Maze
The initial maze is from October 2019 and was a standard construction. The new maze is from 2024 and is comic book style with free drawn pathways that more naturally match the shape of the butterfly. I think this really illustrates how much better I am at making mazes and illustrations !
Dinosaur Maze
The initial maze was made in 2019 and was very popular (it still gets a few hits on it even today). It is a standard construction kids maze.
2024 is comic book style, free drawn pathways, much harder difficulty and is so much better !
Dolphin Maze
April 2019 vs. 2024. Compared to many of the mazes I made in 2019 this isn’t so bad. I do want to fix it so you see water and the sky separated and some waves/splash…but instead you get a 2024 comic book style maze.
Bee Maze
The 2019 version was made for kids. Very easy. Cartoony. 2024 is not for kids.
Rhino Maze
2019 vs 2023. For what it is and the target audience the 2019 version is fine.
I hope you are enjoying this 3 part series. My final entry will feature Holiday themed mazes then and now !
Happy Mazing !
