Map Rating/Review Thread

Remember, we don't rate on tiles.

I'm a little busy to give a full review, but that's a really good map there! The mountain shape is a little square and unnatural in parts...and the houses with no door are weird. 8/10

I like this map. It's simple. The only complaint that I have is that the very thin parts of the path don't look right. I'm also not a huge fan of varying path widths, but it doesn't look bad here. I see no tile errors either.

Overall I give it an 8.7/10

I'm guessing you used Disturbed's rom base if yes than you have to credit him.

The placement of the trees is nice but the paths are too square so is the much uneeded water.
Also you shouldn't have two different kinds of paths, especially those two.

6.5/10
cant see any tile errors.

I'm possibly starting Tensai's Secret over, and with a Rom Base.
I made a map, and I want to see it it is maybe good enough to use in TS.

Comments: 1. Okay, the reason why there is a gap between the bridge and land, is because I want to make a jumping script to get back and forth. ;P
2. You may see a tile error comparing the corners of the lake, and the path palette. I couldn't find a possible tile to match, and couldn't make in in the BE. :/
So, please do not deduct points from that. Thank you.

Well as much as I am against rom bases for hacks, this map is okay, not as good at the old one.
It is a bit square on the right side, and it is maybe too simple.
The path too the far left is too square and it is uneeded, there is also too much emptey space, try filling it up.

7/10

in my opinion use the old one.

Comments: This map is very beautiful. It just jumped out at me when I saw it. I love the idea for the lab being in the middle of the water. How are they going to get onto that pier though?

Suggestions: Change the city sign to a wooden sign (the one that is going to say the town name, not the one in front of the lab.) Also remove some of the rocks in the water. It is a bit crowded.

My very first map called HALLOW TOWN:


Please don't hesitate to criticize, I'm really trying to learn mapping right now and I need some criticism to get me going.

halobro35,

Comments: You're map is very square. There is a lot of extra space that really makes the map look empty. The path is much too thin. You really shouldn't have grass tiles in a town or city because there wouldn't be any wild pokemon in a town. The mountain on the left is rather odd looking and you only need one stair tile there instead of two. I do like the beach though. It's not too uniform. Although, there could be more sand. Found some tile errors on the beach. The corners where the sand meets the water aren't done right.
Suggestions: Make the map a little smaller and push some of the buildings together. Try to place the trees in a different style because if you look outside, most tree lines aren't exactly straight. If you make a mountain, don't make it so square/rectangular. Try to vary the size and width to make it look more natural.
Map Rating: 4/10, It isn't a very good map, but it isn't a very bad map.

This is only your first map, keep practicing and you could become a very good mapper. Don't get discouraged with bad ratings and accept advice whenever you can.

Good luck!

Rating - 20/100 (F-)

Comments: Having wild grass inside a town is never a good idea. I don't like the mountains at all. Not enough trees either. The map is rather square-shaped and you shouldn't have cave entrances inside a town.

Suggestions: Remove the wild grass. Add more trees to make the map border less square. Remove the cave.

Final Comments: Keep trying. At least you have the attitude to learn. You will improve through time and practice. The beach looks nice though. :)

P.S. Still looking for people to rate my map above!

It's a nice map. :3

Rating: 8.3/10~
Errors: No errors really...
Suggestions: Too much unused space, so fix that up, and get rid of that random mountain, cause it really doesn't fit in. :/
Comments: The map is lovely, and I love the mixture between the forest's shadows near the trees and the path! ^^

A new map by me in how long?

Anyway, here it is:
Name: TBTO
Hack: Mine
Mapshot: And here...we...go.

There's a river delta to the west, a mountain to the north, a grassy route to the south and a river route to the east.

Comments: I like the map. Not too square and the mountains have a nice shape. The orange houses hurt my eyes and I think you overused that house a bit. I don't like the joint house and PokeCenter. You should only really joint a Mart and a Center.

Suggestions: Take out some of the orange houses and put some different variations in their place. Remove the joint house and center.

I really like this map as far as shapes and lines are concerned... they all seem pretty natural, but.... something in side me just screams for me to set those orange houses on fire... have you ever seen an orange house in real life? I've seen one.... and I facepalmed so hard I got a bloody nose... my sis thought it was hilarious... anyways... try something more natural... like brown... or cream.... or sky blue at worst. Just not orange. Btw... I love the idea of a family-run pokemon healing place, and if that's what you were trying to do there, you are the proud wielder of epic-win. Otherwise... conformity might be best. Pokemon care is socialized, after all... silly European regions...

Comments: I like how you used a variety of house. It's boring to see just one type of house. I like the paths too. They fit well with the map. The only thing I can complain about is the mountain in the enclosure. It doesn't fit.
Suggestions: Replace the mountain with a few trees or something so there isn't empty space.
Rating: 8.9/10. Overall, it's a great map and I like it.

I have a feeling nobody likes the Vermillion City houses? :P Time to go and find Fangking's giant pile of work again...:P

Comments: To be honest, I really liked the other map with the pond and bridge. It was unique and fresh. This rings too much of a normal factor prior to the other map, which is why I gave you a lower grade than before. The colors are nice and soft on the eyes and the map isn't square. Well made.

Suggestions: Bring back the pond!

P.S. I like to add all of my review scores up and get an average score. I would really like it if I could get at least one more review on my Ivory Town map before I average it. Thank you

I liked the first version of this map much better. The idea to have a jumping script over to the platform was creative. I say bring back the pond and it will be an easy 9/10.
