Comments Even though it may not look like it, I did a lot of block edits.

Indeed a complicated map. I love how you placed the trees, and there path. The mountain is shape is done pretty well. The grass is placed neatly.

Rating: 8.9/10

Note to everybody I make my maps complex, I could care less if the player is annoyed, it's my style, and they can deal with it. But thanks, for all the rates :)

i agree with it^^ if we all would pay so much attentio nto palyability like nintendo does then our maps would be as square as their maps
i consider natural look and feeling and no tile-errors way more important then playablity

Use of tiles: 18/20 - Good use of tiles, really original.
Playability: 19/20 - Okay, as I am guessing this is a gym, this should be easily playable. But, I take a shine to complicated maps, but I think it's good.
Creativity: 16/20 - Not really creative, but still... it's a gym.
Other: 20/20 - Good use of maps, not a single error in this tiny map.
Overall: 18.3/20 - Very good map, I like it. Not enough creativity, but it's a great map!

Yes, thank you. I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. The only way you can make a map playable, is sacrifice some of the looks, which I prefer not to.

ye like i said this is the final room of the gym the rest of the rooms will be a lot more complex there will be four rooms in total the first will be rather easy to get through the third will be the hardest and the forth wll be simple cus itl be the leaders room
but thank you im glad that you like it

Thing is, not all people playing in the map give a hoot about how good it looks from an overhead view. They only see about 40 squares at a time! Sure, good, natural mapping is good, but it's a game, not a mapping showcase!

Well, I like the players to see a good map. Anyways, my maps aren't really that hard to play through, I test them.

I agree with TBP once again: I want people to enjoy the enviroment. All my maps are easy to play through, even though you cant pass them with only two buttons that you hold for 10 seconds.
Also I like to challenge the palyers with mazes and riddles some times (like frozen lakes and those things with strength rocks)

anyway, i think this is pointless, we have a different point of view so we wont find a solution for this^^ and this thread is to rate maps and tell what could be done better at them, not to argue about different styles of mapping

Indeed. I'm not saying maps shouldn't be hard to play through, but that playability is still important.


Okay, I have a new map. I've sorta cropped it a bit, so it may look weird. :\
Map Name: Deisa Forest
Map from: Pokemon Moonshine - Hack of FR.
Mapshot:

Yeah. Ignore the grass in the top-right corner, as it's unreachable.

 

[Likewise]

The first map in my restart.
There is a back story to this.
The Town sits at the bottom of the volcano, years ago the volcano erupted, leveling the land below thus creating the town.
The ashes also blended in with the soil making it an ideal growing place for plants
The mart is the only one for miles.

THe houses aren't final, I'll be changing them.

Sorala canyon.

note: there is more than this map, but its irrelevent and only there so that the border block doesnt look like a giant tile error.

[bboykev]

Use of tiles: 19/20 - These are great use of tiles! I remember playing a GTA game-ish with a MARIO PIPE in it.
Playability: 18/20 - Not easy to go through, but it's great!
Creativity: 18/20 - Can you be any more creative in a forest? Well, yes.
Other: 16/20 - Actually, I found a way to reach the grass, so try working a little bit there.
Overall: 17.8/20 - Very good map, I like it. A bit of work at the top-right, but it's a little bit. About 5 minutes worth.

Comments:
Well, The map has alot of exploration space, and i like the concept; And the fact
you never used the starter house tiles, you should keep them! Good luck on the restart.

Should I have to show events? There's a Cut tree. :\ The whole top half isn't complete and is gonna be used for an event in future. :\

 

[/Circa]

I'm posting these maps cause I want to see if people are willing to play in them, some spaces may be empty but thats to allow events and the player to walk around in.
