Map

[Meteor Rain 0]

I'm making a map now, a village. It's supposed to be the main map where you go to if you die etc. (it's an online game)

 

This is what I got so far:

 

 

Any suggestions on what I could add?

the river looks a bit basic, maybe if you make it windy and or a lake in it, also utilze the path auto tile, but again make them windy, i think your houses should be more spread out and not inline with each other, houses that are inline with each other usualy only work well when all the houses are atached like in a city or something, but overall not bad :)

Thanks for suggestions. Here is the updated map:

 

 

Still working on it.

The river is way way to straight. Your ground around the river is way way to straight. All the houses are the same, try making them different. 1 tree in the whole village??? Add more trees. Use more ground variation like grass patches.

Hard to tell but the river looks like it goes down 1 ground level and the bottom house is at the same level as the rest. I think the bottom of the map should go down 1 level to match the river or something like that. Maybe just an area in front of the river should be low to match?

 

Other than that good start of a map.

Just a suggestion: Don't make the map bigger than it needs to be. If you have no use for a lot of empty space, dont have it.

Thanks for suggestions pol.

 

But wouldn't look a.. Non-straight river a bit weird? It would be harder to place things because the river will be in the way, and it will also be harder to make a bridge to the other side. Or I just don't get how to do it. There also is gonna be more decoration.

 

And messiah, the map is still under construction. This is gonna be a big village.

Not really:

 

 

It makes it look more natural

because a river winds does not meen that you cannot use straight sections for your bridges, also a cliff along the bottom with a waterfall might look decent, just so that all 4 faces of the map arnt the same

This. And a thousand times over. Big maps require a lot more work than you think. Make it smaller; it will look a lot nicer.
