    Map Rating/Review Thread

    Like Matteron, I really don't have any complaints with your map. It looks really good! For the building color, have you tried something with a light blue and/or white theme? I find those to be typical coastal city colors, at least in my imagination haha. I'm not an expert on Saffron tiles...

    Map Rating/Review Thread

    It's not too bad, but there are many things that could be done to improve this map. First off, one of my pet peeves is the remnant of that "tree border" around the map. Obviously it helps with border errors, but when it's as obvious as that, it just bugs me. PS: tree shading. I'm not a tree...

    Map Rating/Review Thread

    From a technical standpoint, the map seems to be decent. A quick glance revealed no tile errors (those mountain corners look off though), border errors, or the like. The grass, although a bit too overdone, would force plenty of wild battles (assuming no repels are used). My biggest complaint...

    Map Rating/Review Thread

    Well I haven't posted here in forever, nor have I made any maps in forever. In an attempt to dust off my mapping skills (and also to revive the ratings in this thread, which have become depressingly scarce), I decided to finally post a map of my own that I threw together. I promise to (attempt...

    Hack of the Week 2010

    Beryl The amount of effort put into the storyline and character development is amazing. They did a great job on that. Also very interesting features, good maps, and excellent scripts just add to it. Best of luck to Nik and Banjora with it. o:

    FireRed hack: [HotW #100] Pokémon Beryl

    I love the intro! It doesn't tell much about the plot, but it's very well written. Great job on making the characters' personalities show through in their speech! Always nice to see well-developed characters in hacks. ;p Can't wait to see more! Good luck~

    Had no rehearsal and less homework today, so I figured I should refresh my mapping a bit. Here goes, eh o; Map Name: Waterfall Gorge - North Map Game: FireRed Credits: Nintendo, WesleyFG, Kyledove Comments: Nothing really. I realize the waterfall is a bit funky, so no need to note that...

    Scrapbox phase-out

    I'm leaning more towards the scrapbox-supporters, only since I do think that it is useful for some dedicated beginners who could really produce a high-quality hack if they are just given the right outlet for their ideas. There's another thread or two for "storyline ideas" and small-scale stuff...

    Map Rating/Review Thread

    I can haz homework to do, so I'll make this quick, but I felt like pointing out a couple big things I noticed about your maps. Space. They seem a bit big to me, with too much empty space. I think the second map, Icicle Path, doesn't suffer from this quite as much, but I suggest that both maps...

    Map Rating/Review Thread

    Brushing up on the topic again.. Apart from the tile errors which have already been pointed out (and I agree, if you're having that much trouble adjusting them to their surroundings, just take out those lumps entirely), you've made a huge amount of progress with this map. Due to what kind of...

    Map Rating/Review Thread

    What better way to spend my time after vacation than to tidy up the map rating thead a bit, eh? Let's see who got left behind... This looked very promising before I brought it up to full size. So the idea is good. High rocky plateau in the middle of a forest.. you seem to have nailed that...

    Map Rating/Review Thread

    The previous rating pretty much hit the important points, so I'm just adding on and clarifying some more. Yes, it is -too- nintendoey for a few reasons. Space. A little bit too much of it, I think, even for a Nintendo map. Places such as the bottom left corner and the center patch could be...

    Map Of The Month – December 2009 [Voting]

    Thanks for the support, you guys. <: I'm surprised there's such a large margin in the votes at the moment. Looking at all 3 maps right now, the choice is hard, even for me as the creator of one of the maps, to decide which one I like the most. They're all excellent maps, in my opinion. o: As...

    Map Of The Month – December 2009 [Entries]

    Oh hallo, I've never entered here before. Good time to start, I s'pose. O: Map Name: Iceberg City (not inserted in any hack) Comments: A costal village in the frigid waters of the north. Its waters are blocked by large chunks of ice throughout most of the year, but the small inlet is...
