If you are as good as you say you are then you have to prove it with some of your work. No pics no proof.

This is one map I drew so at least look at it.

It's my first map ever! (I made it in 2009, so don't judge me.) :)

Just a note, do not double post. Second, I'm not sure how you guys can make a map when we don't have the art for the maps. We accept members on a need base, if we don't need map editors, we will not be looking for them. What we do need are pixel artists.

I went ahead and loaded some of the maps I made for my old MMO... These were made with direct intent, which should be obvious, but these were to replace old, plain maps that were used for judging contests... There were to be 10 total rooms, and each was going to be unique.

There is a "library", an "ice palace", a "heaven meets earth" and an "up in the sky" map... The board in the middle is where people would normally stand to judge, and would be free to roam around... There are tiles in each map that are "blocked" from walking, I can post a screen capture of that later...

The map program itself isn't complicated, but daunting because of the hundreds of options... I've used it for 8-9 years though, and have gotten pretty good at it. I've personally developed dozens of maps that have or had been used in the game itself, some still are being used today after years..

Regardless. To view the pictures you'll need to enter the password "mymaps" all lowercase.

And while I realize that I can link directly to each image, I think this is a more practical option, as you can see all four side by side.. I can likely find more maps I've made, even having changed PCs 4 or 5 times, I think I have most of them somewhere.

Again, it is need based. I made a post about it. What we need are pixel artists at the moment, because you can't make a map without the art for the maps.

Well.. I don't really know Pubbles... They are somewhat okay I guess, but there are some tile errors. I wouldn't know if it's actually a tile issue (missing tiles) or if that was the mapper's doing which made it that way.

And Jake, you seriously need to learn to read.

Sadly it's the map editor's problem...

You'd think that after 16 years, they'd have a better map editor... However, as a "Game Moderator" I was only allowed access to a "somewhat updated" version of the original. There are a lot of silly things standing in the way of them upgrading them all the way, to include all past and present tiles, while updating them all.

Regardless, I only posted out of boredom and such. I made these years ago, and to be honest, don't recall if I spent much time on them. I never finished all 10, so they never were used in the game.

I can send you a copy of the editor if you'd like, but it might make you faint with how out of date and poorly designed it is... =p

Uhh, no thanks! ^^;

And I have a story to finish by next week and some art for PU I really need to work on and by then, it'll probably be time to start on studies again :(

As said a few times before, we need tiles first before we can start mapping. The mapping is going to start from scratch and Kamaran is going to do that first. At a later stage he will need more mappers, but not yet. Offcourse there will open a new job application for mapper when someone is needed.

And I surely must say, the map-editor is not fully functional, it is working with a few bugs and some tools arent working yet. I have a busy few weeks now, from 10th of july I'll have more time to work on the editor. Now it's also time for the pixel artists to create the tiles, which is going by far better than ever before! Keep up the good work!
