zane203 8 Report post Posted May 14, 2011 personally i like them. i would like to see them ingame though, to see what kind of atmosphere they have. other than that, you could possibly add more depth to them. also, on the marsh one, i believe you used the wrong directional board flooring. *cough*im also looking for a mapper*cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinX 37 Report post Posted May 14, 2011 The waterfall looks awkward. The small pond cannot make a waterfall. I suggest you create a river. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenoukii 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I think they're good (: On the top map (Foresty-marsh thing) the tree in the bottom corner is being overlapped by the treetop tile and that makes it look a little strange. The tree trunks on the top look a little weird as well, but it would look weirder without them. And on the mountain, you've missed out a few corners (Don't know if you noticed that), the undulation tile overlaps the edge a tiny bit on the right. And just what Rated said... a pond can't make a waterfall that big xD But on the whole they're really good :alright: EDIT: Rated, you also just taught me how to spell Awkward. All this time I was screwing at spell check because I was spelling it with a Q :sweatdrop: Yes. I am rather stupid sometimes xD Edited May 14, 2011 by Tenoukii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I will update this with more maps later. If you need a mapper I would be happy to help it could give me some experience. The waterfall looks awkward. The small pond cannot make a waterfall. I suggest you create a river. Yea that's what I thought too after I took the screenshot I"m going to add it all the way across to make it look like it goes onto the another map and then just add a bridge.

The cliff face does look sorta strange same with the pile of rocks by the pond (unless this is supposed to stand out). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragon324 16 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) This is a map of an in game castle that I'm going to use. Look below. Edited May 16, 2011 by Dragon324 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinX 37 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 The desert looks good. However, the castle looks weird. It looks weird because of the front looks like it is sticking out and the rest of it is behind it. It looks like there should be some roof on the part that is sticking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apidcloud 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 I really believe so... although, the flags look weird like that '-' They weren't made to be like that on a simple wall, they just work in the connection between the roof and the wall xD everything else is just cool for me (: Btw, I loved the desert one *-* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polraudio 122 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 Dont know why but that piece just looks so out of place. That border looks so odd. If you look at it for a bit you will see what i mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FranklinX 37 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 Look below. Had to delete picture due to upload limit. It looks much better. I agree with Pol about the boarders. If I were you I would add a top tile that the player cannot walk on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree the borders look a lot better with that piece rather than nothing and in my opinion it looks even better than the flowers nice catch guys Thanks.

diagostimo 11 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 i would test your desert map, by the looks of the tile arangement i dont think your player will be able to move between the two cliff faces that meet, unless of course your not aiming for this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calamity 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2011 speaking of RMXP experience...you're maps right now are mediocre, i recommend watching some youtube tutorials by Willowsidhe, that is how i learned to map in RMXP. You're maps aren't bad at all, you just have to learn the generals in each map, such as forest, you should focus on adding the type of atmosphere you want, such as a dark forest, whom is supposed to look gloomy, should have some old flowers (which adds that "this forest is dead" feeling). just continue, you will be an awesome mapper in just a matter of time :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laansolo 3 Report post Posted May 22, 2011 you dont seem to really have the hang of "layering" if you have used up all your layers, yet still need to put things down, I woulf recommend using events as top layers. I'll post what I mean later, when Im on my computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
