Map Rating/Review Thread

[Binary]

Okay...

Map Name: Bubbly Creek
Map Game: Firered as you may guess :P
Comments: Like the first good advance map I've made.

Rating : 7/10
Reason: I actually like your map. The only thing wrong with it is that its empty and there are some tile errors. I like the way you scattered the trees and the way you used the small hedges and boulders. It looks great.
Suggestions: As I said, the map is emty, so you better make it a special map by adding more stuff and all, and fix the errors.

 

[I can haz haxburgrz?]

Map Name: Duuo Region Map

Map Game: The Region Map of Duuo for the future hack: Pokémon HelioSun, a FireRed Hack

Comments: This is, as stated, the region map for the land of Duuo. The game is planned to be pretty long, filled with events, sidequests, long routes, and bustling cities and towns. There are two lakes featured: Light Bay (left) and Poison Lake (right). Of course, the blues are towns, the reds are cities, and the green dots are special places. However, you may be wondering what the yellow is, they're "secret places." spoiler, spoiler! LOL

Edit: The lone city that's a big, red square is only accessed by boat. That is why no route is connected to it.

Here's the map:

Okay, well, if you mean the two errors with the trees down the bottom, it is literally impossible to have both water's edge and tree tops as they are the same level. I actually have two hidden items on the map, and as for the emptiness up the top, you should've seen it before I made the ledges and the boulders :P. I'm thinking of making another house up there though.

wow dude how are going to put so many cities/towns into a firered hack? i counted them and came to 34... the hack im working on has 12 towns and thats just ok, could probabyl be one or two more, but not 22!
anyway i love the palette, its D/P right? and i like that you used many islands, many ppl forget about them
but why is there a circle of lighter water in the center? that makes no sense, it should have a shape like the island

 

[X-Buster]

dunno if thats D/P pallets but I love it, can we use them?

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

dunno if thats D/P pallets but I love it, can we use them?

Slightly useless post...

That's my redesigned map
Thanks for the tips Neti
Although it isn't even for a hack... I just made it for the sheer fun of making it... :)

Thanks for the compliments. I really hope I'll be able to make all of those cities. My hack is planned to be VERY extensive. And as for the circle of water everyone's talking about:

As you can see, there's a circle of water in the background of the Sinnoh Region.

dunno if thats D/P pallets but I love it, can we use them?

I prefer for people not to use the "land" and "routes" palettes. But if someone wants to use the towns, that would be okay.

Rating: 7.5/10

Reason: I think this map looks a large step better than your last one. You didn't overdo it which is a very good thing. The Pokémart looks a little off to me. If you could center that in with that little area behind it with a path leading to it, it would look really nice. Also, different kinds of trees would add to this map.

Suggestions: That Pokémart looks a little "off" and try not to feel limited with only one kind of tree.

oh dude you cant say: "Gamefreak did it wrong so i do not have to make it right..."
then you could just make square maps...

Good good...
In the first map there's a tile error with the house next to the nurse
Not much to say.
The grass tile is overly bright I would say...
In the cave, why is there a Cut Tree?
7/10 because the first town and the first route are a bit squarish.

ok ill go into more details than dark lakitu

Town1:
The first i thought was: SQUARE!
and it is also empty at the top right and botto mleft, you could have easily avoided that by making it not square. but you could have also added some more flowers and rocks
i think the the tree tiles look ok, but the grass has a totally ugly palette, change that it hurts my eyes!
but the buildings are placed good (even if they all look the same, why not add the bigegr ones from pallet town?). i also like the path that connects them, but it has some tile errrors at the inner corners.
rating: 5/10
mostly because of thee grass palette and the squarish shape

Route 1:
Again: a square shape
The top part looks good to me, i dont know what you mean with game pokemon but the house lloks good.
the bottom and in fornt of all the center is a bit empty... you could have added ledges, trees or some rocks there.
and i have anopther small tip for you: after filling huge areas with high grass take the normal grass and place some tiles without pokemon randomly in the high grass.
rating: 7/10

Town 2:
This time the map at all is no square, but the town itsself is.
ive also seen some tile errors where the fences meet the cut trees and at the fences behind the building.
and the building placed on this little hill doenst look very good to me too.
again you should have placed some more flowers in the town to make it look better.
what i like about it is the lil maze you made up at the south exit of the town, that gives the thing more individuality.
i also like that you used many different types of houses this time.
rating: 7/10

Route 2:
Another time its a bit square, only interrupted by this two mountains.
you ccould have made the corners of the path a bit more round, then it wouldnt appear so squarish.
anyway, this were all negative things i see in thiss map, now the positive things:
i like the lake you placed at the top, it looks cool. and its only nice that you use cut trees, theyre a good addition to this map.
also the flowers are placed well
rating: 8/10


Cave:
Ok, if you tell this is not square and not empty then you should call a doctor...
i also agree with dark lakitu that there shouldnt be cut trees in caves...
so thats all, nothing more to say...
rating: 4/10


I hope you take the advices i gave you and improve your maps,
good luck!

1st map:
Rating: 6/10
Reason: The map is way to square....it also has a lot of empty space.
2nd map:
Rating: 5/10
Reason: There is a lot of unused space and a lot of senseless ledges that serve no purpose....(Top right corner)
3rd map:
Rating 7/10
Reason: The map is a lot better but lacks color and depth....It looks way to plain.

Pokemon- Great Black Portrait

Map Name: Tellap Town

Map Game: Firered

Comments:

1. The Top building is a flower center. There you buy the Magikarp Waterer and Flowers exchance for Pokemon later in the game.

2. The left building at the bottom has two areas- a, the green door, and b, the brown door.
A= In the green door, there is an area to talk to trainers who give you items and one gives you a free Rattata after you get your first Pokemon.
B= In the brown door, there is an underground passageway which leads to Naidiriv City. South of that City is Route 341, which leads to the Delapidated Cave.

3. The right building has two segments too. A, the professor's house, and B, the professor's lab.
A= In the professor's house, there is his wife, your rival, and your rivals sister.
B= The average professor lab.


That's it!

First: Noone will ever say something like "OH YOU SUCK and OHMYGODTHISMAPROCKSOMGOMGMGMGMGMGM" in this thread cause that is not the sense of it. some people might just rate your maps without giving you reasons, but noone will do something like this (i hope so^^)

Ok and now my rating:

Well you did my favourite mistake (which means i hate it): Your map is a square!
ALsso the garden or whatever it is part at the top looks like a waste of space to me and over-vegetated anyway.
WHat kind of door is that at your house? Does a small hosue like that have a door that opens automatically???
also the other two houses look a bit boring to me, and there should be at least one tile space between two doors if they dont lead to the same room.
and the path, if it really is a path is too big, looks more like the normal ground of that city.
and the bottom has too many flowers, way too many!
So ill give you a 4/10
Think about the suggestions/critics i made and change those things.
Maybe you would like to read a mapping tutorial, ive recently made one but there are also other good ones out there. Just go to the guidelines/tutorials forum

*scoff*
Yunghove you sneakey rascall!

Dont put letters into your maps!
I see what you did there! (pun intended)
what are those mysterious "Y H"'s I see in the grass!

YungHove ~ Yung Hove ~ Y. H. ~ Y H!!!!

When you get rid of those, I say:

Map 1: 6/10 (for square-ness)

Map 2: 7/10 More detail, but still square

Map 3: 8/10 (water on the mountain? Cut, THEN strength? why)

Map 4: 9/10 Overall, better, but i dont like the FR/LG hoenn sprites, fix them up, or use the Ruby/Saph/Emerald ones, thay look better.
Map 5: 3/10 NO NO NO! Not good, square=fail, I dont want a mediocre map showing up in a nice game, cut trees, and no challenging maze?! Cmon now!

In the end, keep working at it, I suggest you read this here Mapping tutorial, it is awesome, and I learned ALOT from it

X-Buster, your Region Map looks fine to me... I would give it 10/10 (but I'm no expert on region maps though)
