Well, Alice.: It's an interestin' map, I like the thought of the havin'-to-cross-cave-after-cave-to-finish way... Even if it isn't goin' to be played... Just remember to always make the different cliffs different heights, otherwise you should be able to enter a cave from above... And that's not a good thing... Well, the benches seems kinda pointless, and you'll have a hard time readin' that sign... and I do NOT like the three edges in the water: the player will be able to surf over them, if you get my point, and that'll look pretty ugly... and the left/right edges are a bit too straight... I know you're makin' the border work out, but I would recommend makin' the map wider so you can make it look more natural... And I would also add more texture, Maybe rocks or something... Flowers are always ok, and I wonder about the lack of Wild Grass.

No errors, well done!

Overall ratin': 7/10, I like the Idea, but too empty.
Happy Hackin'!

Okay then, MOP. I really like most of your maps... But I think the palletes are kinda eye-tearing... I know you're not supposed to rate the palletes, but here, It's a big part of the map, so yea.
Back to mappin'... the rocks ON the walls should be edited so that they look like the are... on a wall. Otherwise it looks like an error. And that's bad ^^. Also, I think you don't use the correct tiles for upper edge of... water... edge (can't find the word)... instead you use the usual... water... edge. OK that's hard to get, but it's OK, many people does this. I like the shape of the map, I can't do caves like this... And the general Idea... I'll rate...

8/10 for a pretty good map, but I think you can do better.

The mountains area little square at the bottom of the route (leading off to whatever).
The flowers are a little spread out, since flowers tend to grow in bunches, and I don't know if it is just the tileset, (Since I don't use those tiles) but you may have a few tile errors located; (Red Circles = Possible Tile Errors : Cyan Rectangle = You need to make a new tile for this...)

Also, if there are any "tree shadow" tree tiles, use them.

Hack : None, Game crashes when played, just use tiles for mapping reallly to help train myself so i can maybe be a mapper for someones hack.

Heres just the first few and the put together, i also have not put the next 2 or 3 maps on that go with them on another file as you probably wont be able to make out its detail its so big, I havnt checked them over, after constructive critism here guys. What needs to change or improving?

Thanks.

@ Master of Puppets (Cave map)

I don't see what others apparently see when looking at this map, you have used far too many colours (in shades which are too bright); I think the big rocks should be confined to one colour and keep the other 'special' rocks, except the ones that are on cliff edges. Also don't get why there appears to be blue sand. If I block out the tiles and look at the shape then it gets better, it looks quite natural.

Tile errors that need fixing: The Ladder on the yellow sand has a blue edge. Rocks on the edge should be removed or altered.

5/10

Edit: To which ever smartass left a reputation comment, I am not rating the tiles - I am pointing out tile errors and miss-use of tiles, which both make a map worse.

And I don't bum popular people and say a map is great when its clearly not.


@Spherical Ice

You have tree shadows right, however there is still far too much organisation, too many exact rows of trees. Solution: Block edit some diagonal joins for the big trees to layer them in weird (random) ways. You could also add more small trees, and remove that random bush thing (its way too straight!)

All the houses are the same!! Try varying where the door is, or introduce another house type.

The paths also look too uniform, maybe break part of it off and make some of the 'branches' off the main path narrower.

Overall, 5/10 - But theres lots that can be easily improved.

Random unplayable map :)

Rate!
Rating: 9/10

Suggestions: It's pretty good. I don't have any suggestions really, but it's certainly beatable. I used my eeys and found my way from the entrance to the house in the back.

Final Comments: Overall, an impressive map.

Well, at a first look, I think the cave looks good, pretty OK straight-forward for a short cave. I don't like the many straight diagonal walls, that looks very unnatural, and should be avoided. The same thing matters for the path. In-game, there would also be a lot of border-errors, which should... Also, be avoided. Even if the cave will never be played, the border should always be thought of. Also, the top-north part bugs me. Firstly, it seems to full of a whole lot of things, in big contrast to the rest of the cave. I don't like that. The wall in that area also seems very bad-placed, as it blocks the rest of the little room, in a way that really should be avoided. Especially since there's a sign... thing there. The wall also makes the path very narrow, it should be atleast two steps wide.
Ok, sorry for the big critique over there, but everything can be improved. As I said at the top, I think the overall cave form and idea look good. And that's positive, right?

I'll not hang on to details, the rating will be... 6,5/10.

Even if there's gonna be space-fillin' trainers, a cave should always contain some rocks.
Good for a first-time, though...
Happy Hackin'!

This is really nice for a first attempt at a cave. But, in cave... aren't there more floors than just one? Try adding in another level, or throwing in a few indentations to give it a more 'cave like' feel to it. The path should be broken up in more parts, seeing as it's a cave, and I doubt there would be a solid path like that going through it. And why don't you have any rocks in there? Oh, and when playing the map (I know it's a test, but you should still try to avoid this) there will be border errors. Other than that, it's a pretty decent map.

It doesn't really help at all if you just throw in a number and give no reasoning behind it. 'How' can Alice fix up the pathway? 'What' else can Alice improve on for the future when mapping a cave?
