Title: First Map.
Post by: baralai15 on March 25, 2010, 04:18:11 AM
I didn't really know where to put this since I would like to learn and become a mapper eventually so i thought here would be good.

Well I just finished this map and its my first ever so please be honest and give me some tips :)

You sure this is the first map you made, because it looks pretty good (compared to other "first" maps I've seen).

Yes in all honesty and I am 100% sure that this is my first map. I just decided to try it out. It's pretty fun but I wanted to add detail instead of throwing in random things and I saw the other maps and used peoples tips to create mine. All I need now is other peoples suggestions to improve them.

I plan on making another one later on tonight so i have a variety of maps any suggestions of what kind I should make? Maybe an actual city, route, cave, idk yet.

Aside from the hedges behind the pokecenter, which look like they are floating next to the roof, everything looks pretty good.

Pretty good mate. The one thing I would say (and it's a bit picky) is that all of the grass you have is in perfect squares. If you removed a couple of squares (say like 5) in random places it should look a little bit better :)

Alright, I will do that, do i put anything else in those empty spots or do I just leave them grass?

well ...

- no grass in cities (safe palce)
- that s not the good way to use the flowred grass xD
- trees are randomly organized
- you don t use the right wood panels
- some tiles a randomly used
- you used some interies tiles (that must used jusr for inside houses)
- http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/5273/1stmap.png
.....................................

advise you to use this program : http://www.box.net/shared/ndanq0vk8c

-Well you could have grass but just no pokemon in it.
-Yea I figured the flowered grass was a little different lol
-Trees arent really even in real life right? But I think I know what you mean?
-What wood panels do you mean?
-What are the random tiles and yea I know some are for inside places but they looked good lol.

Overall thank you for your feedback :)

Your first two maps looks good. I didn't find any major mistakes in them. Just clean up on the minor stuff and your third map will be even better. Don't disappoint me, I see potential in you!

i like it, one thing that bugs me is the stairs in the top left corner, usually if you have stairs you wanna also have some sort of ledge so you can tell that the stairs are actually bringing you up, or in some cases down.

I talked to Stephen about the grass, fence and stairs. Easy enough to fix. The tile I missed at the bottom right I actually just forgot to re-angle up. If those are the only things I screwed up I'm satisfied with myself for the first time even using the app lol.

I think it looks great, but I'll give you the advice that someone told me about city maps too.

You should not leave the grass in the city because it's a safe-zone, as there should not be a threat *in this case...pokemon*

Pretty much it looks great, but the truth is that you *should*...not *have* replace the grass with something else =)...other than that it looks great.

THIS IS TO THE ORIGINAL TOPIC PICTURE!!!!

I revised the map a bit. Hopefully it's a bit better than the last.

If I can get around to doing it, it is a pokemon cave that leads to a tomb of a dead famous trainer

You forgot to delete the sign thats in between the two stores(you have another near the right entrance). I can totally see a huge difference once you changed what kamaran pointed out. Made it look a lot more cleaner and better looking town.

I don't see any need to remove the sign? It references the fountain behind it. The sign at the right entrance/exit and left entrance/exit of the town are indicators of what area you would be entering if you were to go either east or west.

now that i look at it could it be the fact that the fence is connected to the sign?
also the corners at the bottom fenced in area have pieces of fence hanging off too

florence, putting a teeny tiny cave in an urban town is a little bit weird. An OP, there's no tall grass in towns.

it looks good as of a first map but the fencing is a bit off...
