Map Rating/Review Thread

[NiKaNoRoU]

FINALLY this map took a very very very long time to map..
it is my favourite map hope it gets a good rating :X Ps. its really big D:

Spoiler:

...
What's the point of making a 'big map' if more than half is non-playable?
Anyway, so, about the part that is playable...
the part that has grass is ok, I guess that you're going for nintendo style...but still, the trees have no shading where it's needed. And it gives a weird feeling to the map.
Now the rest of the playable map is boring. All the same grass tile here and there, and just a broad path.

5/10 and this is a good rating, considering that you've spent a map with such dimensions just in order to make a small forest route.

Uh, it seems like you cut the map, probably so that we can't see the rest of it?
Too bad. You get 5.5/10 because it's very similar to your previous one, same with comments. I don't mind the new tiles (even though they cause some tile errors on the map). It's just a little better.

Here's my map it's only a draft oh well tell me what you think

• Where do you get in/out?
• Map seems Pointless.
• Border doesn't work.
• 0.5/10

Had no rehearsal and less homework today, so I figured I should refresh my mapping a bit. Here goes, eh o;

Map Name: Waterfall Gorge - North

Map Game: FireRed

Credits: Nintendo, WesleyFG, Kyledove

Comments: Nothing really. I realize the waterfall is a bit funky, so no need to note that. There is no actual "south" connecting map for this, but this is just the northern entrance to the gorge. Added a few items and trainers for fun.

Hmm, reminds me of a few of my older maps.

• Tiles are Amazing.
• Nice mountain Layout
• 8/10

Here's a fix you might consider:

You seem like a beginning mapper, I'd suggest Checking out the Documents and Tutorials Sections on some key elements a map should possess, until then I refuse to rate any of your maps.

here this is a silph co. map and the insperation was the cafe from DPPT

can some one please rate it.

 

[Geeked]

Heh.. First map in like 8 months.. I know it sucks..

Spoiler:

 

[lazinicki]

Map might look a little empty specially on shores but after trainers added it won't look empty

Spoiler:

I don't see anything special, just tables, crowd...and a tile error on the right.
3/10, not because it's bad, but it's not a map I would put in for ratings. It's just the interior of some building.
So I guess that your scripts will make this one special. Good luck.

Heh.. First map in like 8 months.. I know it sucks..

Spoiler:

Tch, talk about modesty.
This map has that feel, the one that "is simple, but that's what makes it great".
A tile error, though, would be that the tress on the bottom right have no shading.
And, I'm guessing that you can see the border if you go to the left side of the left house.

But anyway, the road is good, no empty space. the tress are positioned good, it does give the feel of a good countryside town. And t-up for the default tiles :P
8.5/10.

I have edited the map hope this one is better[/COLOR]

Spoiler:

Ugh, what should I talk about first, the tile errors, the creepy door tiles that some buildings have, the secret base trees - which give me the creeps even more, that weird type of tile-error-y bridge, or the squareness of the square? I personally think that it still needs a lot of improvement.

On the other hand, the lower part (the beachy island) looks pretty good. Which pumps up your score to 4/10.

Spoiler:

The map is decent, but I like it. Some things I'd like to point out:

• The gate's stairs are a tile too high
• I wouldn't make those trees in the bottom right corner like that; I'd use something else to block it, but had to make new tiles
• The path is nice

So I'l giving you a 8/10

Okay, that seems just weird. Square as hell at some points, and that water tiles don't really...blend in. Also, there is uneeded empty space at some points. Some tile errors on the upper side, above the water. nothing great. Improve it, I know you can.
6/10.

First pic:
It seems square in general, and weird if you're going for FR style. Maybe you need to smoothen the grass by using a variety. Also, note the tile errors on the tree shading, on many places.
6/10

Second pic:
The playability is somewhat better, but too many tile errors here. Generally, the trees again, and the way you end the grass and start the rocky tiles. Note, another tile eror at the bottom right of the little lake.
6/10 again. Tile errors are worse than many other things to me.

Third pic:
ww, the same tree tile errors over and over again. And, what is more, it just doesn't seems normal to go up with those stairs...I guess you have a plan with all thecave entrances, though, so that's fine.
6.5/10

Fourth pic:
Same errors as above, always. And just saying, this kind of placing that you did to the buildings looks akward to me, dunno really why. But it's bugging me. Maybe it's just me.
6.5/10

End note: I don't mind those berry tree tiles, but ohers might, as they don't look well or blend in with the rest of the tiles. And, don't repeat the same grass tile over and over again. Cheers.

Well, it seems like your mapping skills didn't rust at all! The new grass tiles (even though they look a bit like glass) are contradicting good with the variation of trees, blue flowers and etcetera.
Now, the grassy places are often wide, and it gives the feeling that you're walking on an open grassland.
And on the bottom left, right after you get out rom the building, you get to see the border, which might be weird, depending on the border of course.
Other than that, good job.
8/10.

umm, is this any better? I got rid of the lake and tried to make it more less squarish, I also show where the trainers are just so people know. :)

 

[lazinicki]

how do these maps look. the first one is Pallet town and i think the 2nd one is Givoini's gym

Ok, first map is 4.5/10 cause it's plain empty and all you have done from the nintendo map is take the rivals house and swap it with the lab, and make the path disappear.

second, i'm sorry but it is a complete failure, 1/10. All you have done is draw a random path leading to god knows where, sorry but you messed up misty's gym like bad...


Don't worry, practise makes perfect. The more you practise the better you will get.
