Map Rating/Review Thread

[Makorin]

This is going to be the starting town and Route 1 for my hack. It is my first ever route so please rate both maps and comment.

Spoiler:

The starting town also has events showing.

Rom: Fire Red

Starting Town - Wilderbud Town

Hmm...

Spoiler:

Shape: 1/10 10% Bad
Water Shape: 1/5 20% Bad
Physical Features: 3/5 60% Good
Building Placment 3/5 60% Good
Tile Errors: 2/5 40% Poor
Playability: 3/10 30% Poor
My Feelings: 2/10 20% Bad
Total: 3.4/10 34% F :P

Why?:
Shape: It is SQUARE that isnt good! Makes it boring!
Water Shape: see above
Physical Features: Flowers can be more spaced out...
Building Placement: The Player's House is kinda down in the trees...
Tile Errors: One thing on the long house is that the indent for the door isnt there... and the trees at the bottom of the map have shading only on the left side of them...
Playibility: A bit to easy to play To much space to move (but craming it isnt good either)
My Feelings: I think you should take a look and one of the many Mapping Tuts on this site... Neti has one (that I know for sure) and i think Disturbed has one (Not sure tho) Either that or you can look at some other peoples maps here and see how the people that got good scores did it! (as long as no stealing happens)

Spoiler:

Route 1

Physical Features: More Flowers may be needed... You can also space the grass out more... All over the map...
Building Placement: Nice spot to put it shifting the area won't be to bad...
Tile Errors: One thing is the small trees are messed up! use the wrong tile for multiple trees! Then the ledge at the bottom is missing an end and the same thing on the top right-hand one
Playibility: See Explanation above
My Feelings: See Explanation above

Okay

I have made up my own map rating system.
And im about to use it on sasquatchd00d.

Spoiler:

Building Placement: 7/10 Awsome
7/10 is a awsome rating. Could be more bigger aeound the houses
Vegetration: 6/10 Great
The flowers are okay, but the bushes seem to empty around the bottom right.
Pathways: 9/10 Super
They are nicly implemented, and not streight.
Map Shape: 7/10 Awsome
The trees are Great, the map is kinda small, but i'd say its great and simple.
Overall: 80% out of 100%
Try to improve the ammount of trees inside the border.
And the spaces outside the pathway seem to be empty.
Keep trying and you shall improve.

I shall use my own kind of form as well.

Spoiler:

Structure - 8.7/10
The shape is nice, but the map seems too small to give it a great shape. Try making it slightly bigger in width.
Vegetation - 9.1/10
The vegetation is nice, and the way you used the trees is nice. There seem to be a few empty spots though. So try spreadingout the trees more instead of connecting them next to each other.
Overall - 17.8/20 [C+]
{Nice job.}
Comments - The map was very nice. I see no tile errors. I like where you placed the ledge too, but there needs to be some improvements to it. Just read what I said above, and it should be good. ;3

My rating system is out of 20.

Tree Placement: 6/10 Ok
They are good. But it makes the path look to narrow.
Vegetration: 4/10 Poor
I see one bush. OMG!! However the flowers are neatly placed.
and the wild grass, its place so you could get through the map with
out a battle.
Pathways: 7/10 Great
They are nicly implemented, and not streight.
Map Shape: 7/10 Great
This was hard. Theres no trees physically in your way. But the border would look nice
Overall: 62% out of 100% Ok
Try to improve the blockage of trees in your way. And
have a look outside.
Lots of bushes Right? Thats a Street. And thats a route,
There would have to be atleast 2.

The Tree placement should be improved. Make them more vider, and place them
in a way that it would become more Like a maze. I mean, Wow.

Map Rating: 88/100 B+

Comments: I quite like this map. The shape is very nice and I like the two routes in one map you have going on. There are a few tree shading errors in the mid-level left of the map. The path shapes are done well; they aren't too straight and they don't stay the same width. The grass could be placed a little better because where it's placed right now, the player could avoid most of it and only have to walk through a few tiles of it. Overall, nice job.

Uh, exactly who's map are you rating?

His title said "@Dísturbed".

Here comes the rating.

Spoiler:

Structure - 9.0/10
This is great the shape is absolutely wonderful. The grass and trees in your way is a little obstacle course. The mountains make it a little challenge! The mountain shape seems great, and the pond shape is nice too. But there is a little bit of empty space at the top right near the building, top left near the mountain, and top left on the mountain. bThe two paths at the top are juststrange and unnecessary to me. The pond could use a few water rocks. Just block edit them into the pond palettes.
Vegetation - 9.4/10
Vegetation is nice. I see a lot of flowers, some rocks, and two bushes. The use of mini trees are great. Like I said above though, there is some empty space. So you migh want to fix that with some more bushes.
Overall - 18.4/20
{Great work!}
Comments - Lovely map Lucario 9. The mountain shape I love, as well as the tree shape. Four ways to get out, huh? Cool. Again, great work!

Well, once has to be the first time...

Map Name: Docksville

Map Game: Pokémon DeepBlue (Emerald)

Comments: This is the second town you visit in my hack. It has Pokémon grass, because the connection between this town and the starter town is a sea route, and you are ferried across that route, so there has to be some place where you can find wild Pokémon. The connection with the 1st town (Route 301) is to the north, and south is Route 302.

Map Rating: 64/100 F

Comments: To start off, your map is very empty. You have flowers placed in groups, when they really should be spread out more. If the town is going to be this big, there should be more buildings, because right now they are bunched in the top. If you're going to have a ferry service, shouldn't there be a dock? The grass is too easily avoidable, if you're not going to make the player go through it, there is no point in having it. They won't go in it, because players are lazy and will avoid most wild battles if they can. The little rocks need some block editing because they don't match the color of the sea tiles you are using. The path looks odd, it probably shouldn't be that wide all the way through. The tree placement is good, none of it is too straightly placed. There are some tile errors I spotted in the trees though.

I see great potential in your maps as long as you keep mapping.

BTW: The ferry-service isn't actually a ferry, it's a Lapras :P
