Back from a Super-Hiatus...
"The Adventure Awaits..."

I have decided to resume my work with all of these maps,
but starting with a brand new design! All of the custom tiles
are my own, except for the short, two-grid trees. (kyledove)
I will try to release a new map every week. I'm extremely
busy with school, work, band, badminton, and juggling
some-what of a social life. So please, don't get all grouchy
if some of the maps are not released or are not to your
standard. I don't really care in that case! ;)

++ --

In case all of you are.. mentally challenged.. all of these
maps are going to be used in a future comic that will be
made by myself. No, this isn't the comic's thread. It's a thread
of the maps and sprites the comic will have in it. THNX.

-- ++


OK. To start off, I shall reveal the brand new hometown.
This map took me about an hour to construct, and an
extra half-hour to redo all the trees to my custom ones.
(they used to be kyledove's) That ocean area doesn't
really connect to anything.. (as of yet! *hinthint*)


++ --


Yey! The first route of the comic. Although it is
short, it's cool. lol This map took me a good
forty-five minutes to do. I'm impressed with
how it came out. Everything looks good to me!

-- ++


OK. Town number one. Very tiny and peaceful.
Custom Mart & Center. No Touchie! Yes, I know
the buildings are kinda bright compared to the
grass and trees. Live with it. >>

++ --


The end of the current island. This is the smallest
island that has civilization on it. The smaller islands
are usually uninhabited by people. Half-hour wonder!
Nothing wrong with it in my eyes. :) I like it.

-- ++

Thanks for coming. I hope you enjoyed all of this.
I like comments! :) So, make yourself a post.
Tell me what you like and dislike about it all.

These are great! Love the hometown, and the "satellite" (orwhateverit'scalled) on the roof of the laboratory.

Just one thing about the map; I know this is not intended for a game but most firstroutes have a way to get back to the first city without needing to step in the grass. I just can't seem to find one on this. O.o

Wow. Those are pretty good, some of the best I've seen.
Possibly a more inventive lab, but besides that it's pretty great.
Yeah.
Too bad you couldn't revamp the old ones

I hope to see more, and I wish you good luck on your comics x]

Later tonight, someone post to remind me to upload the new town. :) It's awesome.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, everyone! I hope this one will last longer than the first set. :)

Also, I am looking for resources, like water tiles and such. So if someone could PM me a couple links. :) That would be great. (You'd get credit. =D)

Welcome to town #2! The only thing that I don't like about it, is the
intensity of how much brighter the buildings are, contrasting to the
grass and trees. Although, I guess it's fine. ;) This map is in Beta
form, and is still up for changes. If you have any suggestions, feel
free to post them. It would be an awesome help! ~ Iceman

PS. The Pokemon Center & PokeMart are OFF LIMITS.
So, please don't even try to steal them. They're 100%
custom by myself. Yey for custom tiles! ^^

Pretty nice.

When will the comic be released?

Nice edits of the Island one PokeCenter.
Will we get a glimpse of OW's for characters.
Any new Silon/Darien/Whatever his name is now info?

I hope to make 100% custom overworlds. For EVERYONE.

So, no more little boys with caps, girls with puffy hair. CUSTOM. WOOT.

xD... This means the release day will be a while yet. I want to perfect this. ;)

Pretty nice, but the PC and Mart roofs need some tweaking. They feature inconsistant shading and sometimes overshading. For the inconsistancies, the rim around the roof always has the same color outline, no matter where it is. That should be changed according to the light source. The overshading also occurs in the rim, but on the inside, not the outline. Three colors is really too much. There is one more shading inconsistancy. The curves where the roof meets the walls is also shaded the same way on both sides. Instead, one side should be lighter and the other darker.

They do look good, though.
No signature to be found here...

There is no definite light source in Pokemon Games. All buildings are symetrical. ;)


Woah! The end of the island already? Wow! The small
starting island sits apart from the main area of this region,
connected only by a set of bridges and smaller islands.
This map took about a half hour, so I'm impressed. :)
Notice the custom colored water that's been shown here
and in the revised starter town. *grin*

Iceman, while double posting is allowed when updating your work, it's usually when the previous post has an update as well.

Anywho, your maps looks really well done. The colours are nice, and the layout of the towns and routes are nice as well.

Your new shoreline is good as well. However, due to your edits to the corner tile, it basically becomes unusable as half of it is water, the other half sand :/

Anywho, keep up the good work.

I just noticed this, but the trees are aligned naturally, for once, there's no boxing.
Usually the trees just outline the region in amateur maps.
But you are certainly beyond that.

Also, Route 1 looks like the first Johto route. Just a little, but it resembles it.

Gaah.

Brand new, DP sized Darien sprite.
Although it is not shaded as DP
sprites are shaded, I don't care.
He's cool like this. If you see any-
thing wrong with it, please post.

PS. I know the one arm looks
kind odd, but live with it. ;__;


Let me introduce you to Steff,
Darien's sister. The sprite isn't
my best, so forgive me for that.
I might resprite her later. Tnx.
