Map Rating/Review Thread

[suoert]

Hi guys, It's been a long time since i last visited this forum and it has also been a long time since i've made some maps.
But i just made one:) and here it is!

 

[Tyrantrum]

This map isn't bad. :)
The shape is fine, some tiles look weird(but I'm not rating that. :mudkip;):), there are a few empty spaces, and the path is used decently. :)
Hmm...8/10
It's very nice. :)
Just add onto those empty spaces. :mudkip;):

>Suoert

Your map is well done, the tiles and palletes are great.
I only think you should fill some empty spaces.
But nice map though.

Rating: 8.5/10

Thanks for the support, I know it's a bit empty, but then again i made it in 15 minutes or less.

I think I should take a break from rating your maps. After that last rating essay, I think I should rate other people's maps.

Hah. Yeah dude, I kinda meant short and sweet for that map :P Like maybe 2 sentences, but whatever. I'm cool with it.

The tree tiles kinda look weird, and there is some empty space. Also, the very first tile in the south western corner is missing. Maybe thicken things up with more trees and add more shape to the water. 5/10

(I rate harshly incase you haven't already realized.)

Rating: 8/10
Suggestions: Certainly not a bad map. Looks like you're going to have a bit of trouble with the border. I think you've tried to emphasise the natural-ness of the map a bit too much. The paths look great. The lake puzzle is well made. At first glance it is a 10/10 map, theres just some small things that let it down.

Heres one of my own, the first map I've done in over 2 months so it won't be the best.

Dshayabusa, Thanks for the rating.
For the border, do you mean border block?
If yes, my map has three connections >left, right and down(you can walk down)
So the border block will only appear on the upper side of the map.
Anyways thanks for the suggestions

I like it! But is that a poké center in the right? cause it's missing the poké sign.
but the rest is just great! I like the bridge 8/10

 

[Hiche..]

Thanks suoert for the rate.
And yes it's a Poke Center. I deleted the sign by mistake.
Thanks again.

Here's another map from me:

Here's another map from me:

the mountain is screwed up, and it looks really plain.
the tileset goes badly with it since its mainly used for big cities, and your city is very cramped for its size.
Other than those, tile errors all around.
Rating:4/10
suggestions: make the mountains not follow a set path, change the tileset or change how much room there is, and just don't make it so cramped.
that AND, fix the till errors, they look hideous.

Map Name: Fiore City

Spoiler:

i like it, the trees are positioned good and it doesn't seem crowded or too roomy.
the tileset looks good on it and it really fits with the road.
however, i don't like it when there are two roads in a city instead of one main one.
not only that, but there aren't any small trees there, it seems a bit empty in some spots.
Rating:8/10
suggestions:Add small trees and please try to make it one path.

it looks pretty good.
However, there are many problems with it.
the trees shouldn't have a "bottom" on them at the bottom of the map, it screws up the connection and just looks disturbing.
there are two open spaces down, which doesn't seem like you wanted them.
and also, the PC is pretty pointless, because after one route, there is usually a city or cave.
Unless you plan on putting a cave there, the PC doesn't look good.
rating:7/10
suggestions: fix the PC, don't add "those tiles" to the bottom of the trees when they are at the bottom of the map, and fix the parts that allow you to go places that you aren't supposed to go to.

 

[Hiche..]

Thanks, ~Fire for the comment.
I fixed it up a bit.
As for the PC, I placed it because this route doesn't lead to a city nor a cave,
I leads from the right to another route, from the left, where you come from a cave
and down there is just an event. There are many trainers to face, so I think a PC would be needed.

But again thank you for the suggestions. If the PC is disturbing, I'll try to figure out a way not to use it.

Nice map, but I think that the map is too square. That's just me.
There are empty spaces. I like the placement of the grass.

oh, well that makes it a lot better.
I would give it a better rating though if you posted that there was a cave near it.

the trees are in a normal military like order, the flowers and dirt path are disturbing with its symmetry, the flowers are all bunched up, and the mountain just looks to disturbing with its symmetry, like before.
However, the shape of the lake is pretty nice, i like it.
rating:6/10
suggestions: Make it much less symmetrical, whether or not its supposed to be natural.
and i know this doesn't matter, but i think you should change the palettes into something more subtle.

since a cave seems better near the PC, then I improved the map(I think)
(I'll fix the cave more later)

Rating: 9/10
Reason: Looks like a great route map. I like the placement of the PC and the cave right next to it. The problem is that you can actually get off from the border. I like the little bridge accross and the icy lakes. It looks very neat.
Suggestions: Nothing really XD.

Rating: 7/10
Reason: Pretty much squarish, don't you think? You shouldn't place two houses next to eachother like that. I like the idea of the PC but it looks a little wierd. But the pathway looks nice and the little lake running through the town.
Suggestions: Don't place the two houses together. And you should use some more greenery.

Suggestions:Try to make some of it less symmetrical(like Fire said), other than thta, It's a nice map!
Rating: 8/10
Comments: I know this isn't part of the grading scale, but maybe try to change up the palettes. The mountain palettes are freaky, the darkest color of brown dosen't go with the othr colors of brown. The trees are that way too. I liek the colors, just try to make them flow better.
