And credits to colcolstyles for the tile(berry in the grass).

And also, these maps were ignored for the most part.

Wow. I like the first map a lot. :3
There's plenty of room for the player to actually move around (save a few spots where there are one-tile walking areas >: ), and the grass placement is quite good. I also like the ledges; they're actually blocking the player off for a bit and shortening the way back, like they're supposed to. The ponds were nice, and gave it a sort of RSE feel, which I like. This is a pretty good map, although there are a couple things to fix here and there (one-tile walking areas..). Another plus is that I didn't really notice many tile errors (but I don't have an eye for such things, so don't trust my judgment :P). I'm going to give this an 8.4/10. :D

The two world maps look good as well, although I'm not sure exactly how I should rate those. xD

Here's a little map a did for fun. ^_^

Map Name: Pinewood Forest
ROM: Fire Red BPRE
Hack: N/A - for fun/test of tiles
Credits: kyledove, rhevarhe_duh, Wesley_FG, Alistair
Comments: Rate the map and also tell me what you think of the tiles and palettes. I know there is a tile/palette rating thread, but I'm more interested in what you guys think of my forest mapping so I posted it here. The bottom right pond thing there is awkward looking, I know. It's only because I wanted it to block the player from seeing the little hidden area there (hypothetically of course though since it won't matter anyways). I realize that there would be border errors if it was connected to anything at the paths, but since this isn't meant to be in a hack, I'm hoping you guys will let me slide on that. *crosses fingers* ^_^

I'm going to start rating maps. Change the X's to h's
Xttp://i44.*.com/2910uvq.png
Rating: 9.9/10

Reason: in the bottom where the grass turns into mountain top, I don't like the way it looks.
Suggestions:Maybe change it to grass, or make it a little "smoother" transition.

Made for kicks and isn't in a hack yet :)

This is the first map I have made using tiles other than firered, so please rate! Its mainly an events map, not a real route as it leads from a city to this one house :).

I like the pathshapes (though infront of the PC it should be one tile wider I think) and the water. The tree's on the left side are good but they looks a bit patterened to the right side.

The house behind the P.C would look better if it was brought forward to be next to the PC as it looks a little lost behind it.

Also vary the grass tile you are using, from what I can tell they are all the same.

7/10


Ageangel~

The tree placement, especially around the bottom, is horrible, the exact row of trees under the path is particularly offputting. Also the tree shadows need to be looked at.

I don't like how you have to go along and round to get into the village, if it did that I think a path would be needed to go around

4/10


Sasquatch~

Like the path shape, and the water bodies are good too (though I agree the bottom right one looks a bit too narrow). The trees are all good too, though I think less logs might be a good idea, there seems to be loads.

Wild grass... all good.

I'm not a fan of those flowers though ;) Haha.

8.5/10

Testing out a new style, hate it or love it I have had some pretty hard times personally lately so not much time to work, but I feel this style will stick for me.

Map name: Dawn City
Map story: An old volcano on its last legs before a mass eruption gave way. After it became dormant lugia moved its nest to the top of the dormant giant. The "Sea King" as legends call it checks on its nest every thousand years. now the crater has become an inhabitable space where much has been built in the last 50 years. The school of the Endigo islands is north of the village where you in the game reside during your student life. The Center of Endigo Islands Geology is based in Dawn City with a research building and testing facility. Jobs are offered for well known/educated pokemon students at the Endigo Academy.

Well, yeah it's definitely big... and a lot of the stuff is unnecessary, like half of the mountains and beyond the player can't see. But it's still fairly pretty. It was looking pretty good, until I saw all that grass near the bottom. There's just tooooooo much of it, all over the place. The player needs a little bit of a break from time to time. Also, the route isn't well enough defined. By that I mean that there's too many random directions the player could go, and it's not obvious which direction he or she should take to get to the other side. Not very playable, but a lot of time and effort was put into it, so I'll give you a: 7/10

Map:
Spoiler:
7.5/10

Up's:
-The tree placement is really great! Looks really natural.
-It is still Pallet Town, but with a fresh look.
-Great use of tiles.

Down's:
-No Paths (Not a big minus, but meh...)
-Oak's lab is waaaay too small
-House's are too thin.
-Too crowded in some places...
-...And too much free space in others.

Comments: A really great map! (I rarely give high ratings)
Improve on the points I gave you and post the new map,
cause if you change all of the down's, I'd give you at least a 9/10
;)

Please don't say "don't rate the tile errors, because that's one major part of rating...
I give it 8/10
Most of the tile errors aren't able to be seen in the game.

Reb, your post got deleted last time due to: "first post rules... maps exceeding the size of 400x400 pixels should be wrapped in SPOILER tags or provide links..." ^^ just a hint ;)



Teh Panda

8/10

The trees need shadows, and the mountains look awkward in some places due to that way they are stacked. They also follow each other a lot and might look better if they were more varied.

The Buildings and their placings all look good, I like what you have done with the special buildings ;). Think it could do with a few less flowers though.

Overall the map is good and would be interesting to play.

On the whole it looks nice, however there are quite a few tile errors on the mountains, there's also an error along the top of the gym - probably just a block edit fix up will solve that.

Also find it weird how half of the map is like the trees have grown out of control, and the top half is all controlled, in fences and perfect rows. I would like to see the same vegetation patterns across the whole city.

Then there's the fact the flowers are only in two locations, are very patterned. Try some random placings. Also the brown thing (No idea what they are, there's one just above the top path) should be moved so its not right in the middle as it looks weird. (Also move that sign on said path to the left one).

Might be nice to have some paths around the houses/gym but that's just my personal taste.
