March Map Making Contest

Yes that is very nice, even if a bit square and blurry in some parts.

 

[Ruyin]

Yea, that blur is unavoidable when you're zoomed out.

Well, I wouldn't call it great. There are many problems with it.

-- 1.)It is way too symmetrical. The builings could be arranged a little better by not having them perfectly symmetrical.

-- 2.)The buildings don't look right. The PC, Mart, and Gym are blurry, and the lightest color on the roofs of the houses is too bright.
You should also say you customized the buildings, not made them. Making a building is making it completely from scratch.

-- 3.) There are many tree errors. Look behind the PC and Mart. The FR/LG and Silon trees should not be mixed. Also, look at the lower right tree near the fountain. It is covering a piece of patch.

-- 4.) The lake doesn't seem right. Mak it smaller and get rid of the fence. Use rocks instead.

-- 5.) There are way too many flowers. Get rid of about half of them.

Other than that, it looks better than your other maps. 7.5/10.

Thanks for the feedback Don Patch.
I was trying to make the map symmetrical, it is a futuristic city, things are meant to look artificial.

As I said, blurring while zoomed out is unavoidable. I also changed my post to say customized.

You always say many tree errors, I can't see any. EDIT: Oh crap, the tree next to the hospital doesn't match...

Uh, the lake as are the flowers are space fillers. Trust me the map looks PLAIN without them.

Graagh! Can't stop making maps.... Must... replace... train... station...

I'll enter Chromeshore City from my fangames.

@Ruyin: If you are going to keep it symmetrical, then could probably move the houses so they are right next to each other. And about the blurriness, that is not that hard to fix. Just choose a couple of colors from each parts of the building, and recolor those parts with those colors. And about the space fillers, and easy solution is making the map smaller.

Another thing is that you added too many different tiles (Such as different buidlings).

Your rating really reflects my opinion of it, but the quoted reason is beacuse it's supposed to be the world's largest city.

 

[Ruyin]

Crazy Weavile, press F5 when you take a screenshot to get rid of the lines.

 

[Crazy Weavile]

I will from now on. Thanks for the tip.
EDIT: You said two maps. Here's Route 301.

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

Hmm... Everybody elses maps are bigger than mine. Can someone tell me if i should make mine bigger? I could prolly make it bigger before the 18th if you would like.

 

[Alistair]

Ya know, you can post an entire other map.

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

I don't understansd what you just said don :) but i'm gonna assume that meant make it bigger so i'll do that in a little while.

DARNIT nevermind, I can't fix my map. Soda got spilled no my other computer that has that tileset and now it's fried :(
