Map Rating/Review Thread

I fully understand what both of you mean ;) To be honest I won't edit it because I don't like re-doing a map, I will then make a new one or something XD

ut off-this topic: Are there people who feel like adopting Breakdown?? I have to say that I will only give it away to an experienced hacker...

Been a while since I posted here.

Rating: 4/10
Reason: The tiles are really throwing me off on this. As are the palletes. Its just too boring. The grass is placed awkwardly. The paths don't look good.
Suggestions: Fix the paths. Remove the random hill thats in the middle. Add more grass.

Rating: 3/10
Reason: The river looks absolutely horrid. The mountains are set out awkwardly not to mention look completely unnatural. There is too much empty space and I'm not crazy about the tile selection.
Suggestions: Get better tiles. Fix the tile errors. Make the beach smaller. Make the map smaller. Maybe join some of the mountains together. You could try all those but I think it would be best just to start over.

Rating: 6/10
Reason: The path looks... nice, not great but nice. Why are the trees arranged like that? I guess its just personal preference but I think they look really bad like that. That small blue roofed house looks ugly.
Suggestions: Remove that small house. Use some flowers.

Rating: 6/10
Reason: It looks decent enough. The shape is OK, not amazing. The shape of the mountains don't look too good. Paths aren't made well.
Suggestions: Put the grass in bigger clumps. Remap the mountainous parts. Re arrange the paths. Look at some maps that you like and compare.

Another map by me...

Well I guess I was left out xD

That map is great looking but.........

???? I don't know it just doesn't seem.....
maybe it is just no grass on the walking spots that makes it seem...
different
8.9/10

@~element your map has been rated further up
and I give it a 4.5/10
Reason: The whole map as a whole seems odd, mountain shape, lake shape, tree placement, and the trees have tile errors

Hmm thanks ;), but I think the maps a bit confusing...
I'll explain it has to be some sort of school for a first map and the whole map is like the schools property so there's no grass in the walking area because it's some kind of town ;) lolz

More ratez on my map in spoiler above?

Sorry, new maps have been added hours ago! :P

Anyways:
Rating: 7.8/10
Errors: It still seems a little too square to me, and there are a few empty spots. I also don't really like what you did with the path near the Elite Four Building.
Suggestions: Fix what I just said. xD
Comments: This is still quite a nice map, and after seeing your other maps, I look forward to seeing more maps by you.

Okay... i remake it... so here:


Wind, you like it?
And everyone may be... rate for it ^^

A new map from me
Rom: FR
Comments: A maze like route.

dratii, that's a pretty good map!
8.5/10
The tree shading is near-perfect and the grass is placed pretty well...BUT!
Those mountains. Those mountains. They look really nice! Haha, you're doing really well, my young apprentice!
Not much else to say, really. :D

There is still a bit of empty space.
The path is nice, and the placement of the houses and people/Pokémon is nice too.
Though, grass in a town isn't a good idea, unless it's unreachable..in my opinion.
It's also a little square too, but overall, it's a very nice map. :)
6.2/10~

If you notice on the top going to the next route that is the battle grass, what you see in the map is just a vegetation tile Wind~.
^_^
And as for the map I think it is a bit square but it still looks pretty good(anyway who made up this square thing).
I give it a 8/10.
I think you should try and maybe put in a new house(I never understood why their are little places in the middle of the woods with a lab and a house or two).

yeah!! nobody did rate my maps! you're are great!

game: Firered
Name: pompai village
Comments: I had made it much better but for some reason it didn't save so I had to redo it quickly.

A while ago a guide came out (much like neti's guide to mapping) and it like said that, and basically everyone in this section of PC read it...then everyone was all of the sudden against squareness (you should have seen some of the old threads).

The grass looks like you correctly say, I'm going to milk them!

Map Name: Mayflower City

Map Game: FireRed - Aquamrine

Comments: So, as stated above, this is a map in my hack, Pokémon Aquamrine Version. It's called Mayflower City, and the shop with the Cerulean Bike Store tiles is meant to be a flower shop, but becuase I haven't made the tiles yet, I just used those tiles. Note that it is big, so I linked to it (you may have to click on the picture to zoom in when it loads).
