"i can make some maps for you, what needs doing..?"
It would be best if you had Skype or Dropbox, but if you don't that's perfectly fine.
To start with we need a working map for a starter town. It's supposed to look completely ordinary, with an exit to the first Route at either the North or the East. Perhaps two or three houses within the town at most. My original idea for the starting town had it on a peninsula of a lake, so if you want to put water on the South and West sides, that would be perfectly fine. I just asked my spriting director about it, and said he imagined it as a "more lower middle class" town, so make it as ordinary-Americana looking as you want. Trees are definitely a must. The best words to describe the town should be small, quiet, and safe.
Otherwise, go wild and have fun. :3
