Map Rating/Review Thread

[Tropical Sunlight]

I got skiped, so here is a repost.

Cool, another warm-weather region hack.
A few questions:
- Are there berries next to the Pokemart?
- Is this the Starting town?
- Why is the Pokemart so small-looking?
Now, to the rating:
- Those rock surface tiles look a bit out of place. -
- Levelled. +
- The paths are too.. zigzag-like? Try using longer lines of paths but not too much. -
- Very detailed. ++

Well, that's it, then. It is, after all a great map, so I am giving you an 8/10. Fix those things I told you and then tell me which map do you like better. K?

Comments: These are the snow tiles for Auburn, but they won't be seen in gameplay for a long time. Also, a lot of these tiles are heavily edited to fit the snow theme by me, so please do not steal the edited ones at least. The buildings have no snow on them because they have roof heaters? (My way of covering up my terrible spriting ability and being unable to sprite snow on them. XD)

Have you actually inserted these tiles? If so, amazing is all I can say.
The graphics are beautiful and the map is very simple and sofisticated.

10/10

Yes, everything is inserted. Rather haphazardly I must say though lol.

The size of a map has nothing to do with the quality of the map :\

I suppose I'll post a few suggestions on how to improve this:

• There's a whole slew of tile errors in the section north of Oak's lab with the path
• I don't really like the way that the stone path transitions into the dirt path. It's better than having them actually "fused" together but I prefer to leave, at the bare minimum, one tile between different paths
• Speaking of transitions, the change from the beach edge tile directly into the "ledge-edge" tile, if I may, doesn't look very good
• The grassy area between the dirt path and the beach is seriously lacking some flowers/vegetation. Other areas (such as both north and south of Oak's lab and alongside the path exiting to the northeast) are very dense and so that particular grassy patch stands out
• Though it's not visible in-game, there's a blatant error with the trees along the eastern edge. You can't miss it. :P
• The water rocks outside the port (or whatever that big, red thing is) are very symmetrically, so much so that it makes me think it's intentional. Regardless, it doesn't look very good
• The water rocks to the left of the beach are placed very well but I can't say the same for their counterparts on the eastern side (i.e., too many in straight lines)

However, my biggest problem with this map is the waterfall. I've been staring at it for a solid ten minutes now, trying to comprehend exactly just how the water falls two levels and yet it ends up only one level lower. After a good amount of trancelike staring, I finally figured out that it actually does make sense but it just looks weird because there's a tile error. Get rid of the middle section and move the top section down one tile and it should be fine, though it still may collect a few double-takes from players.

This map pretty much hits Pallet Town on the spot. It looks just like how the anime Pallet Town should look. What irks me, however, is the straightness of the paths. Also, avoid placing different style paths right next to each other. I saw a few tile errors just skimming over the map as well.

8/10

This map is extremely boring looking. There is no vegetation or flowers what so ever. And even paths are scarce at best. You need to add a little more substance to your map here. You need to go a little farther than just placing trees and grass.

I'm not too fond of this map. It's not as if it isn't mapped well, it just seems a bit plain. I think the palette of the small tree could be darkened a bit to match the large tree. It's a small and simple map. There really isn't much else to say.

6/10

I still am at bewilderment of those tiles you inserted as they look... they look professionally inserted etc.(I know that is not in the rating but everything about this is so sleek) Everything about this map is clean, and none the less "fresh". I don't have the brain capacity to think of a way to improve it. I would give this a 10/10.

→goon my friend, that is an amazing map. I would rate it, but it's too good for a rating. One thing, the tall grass tile is a little bright, maybe darken it a little. :>

You're not supposed to rate the palettes of the small tree.
Anyway, thanks for the rating, but you didn't really say what you didn't like on my map or what i should add to make it better.

The tree/grass placement is symetrical. But the way this maps goes, it makes it very good and professional, and it shows your talent in mapping - no point in denying it. I would give this map a 8/10, only because i don't normal mapping style as much as natural. Also, this is playable, and i bet someone would enjoy playing such map.

This is awesome mate. I'd say it's one of my top favourite maps. ;D
I love the tiles, they give the map a natural breeze. <3 But that's another story.
I see it's totally playable.
