Ahah, I suppose the idea isn't too hard to think of; a cave that was once flooded isn't a particularly complex one, especially since there's at least another one in my game. And yeah, mine go to an upper level xD

@To the ones that rated: Thanks for the suggestion; it's true that the water tiles do look out of place. I have to go and search for some proper ones.

I kinda like the bright water tiles, although maybe they're a little too vibrant here. The land borders need to match the rest of the cave, certainly. Make the water a bit silvery and slightly darker, but not too much because I like the contrast between the water and the cave.

Let's see, for the Zekrom Temple, it looks very unique and rather nice, but I don't think the stair cases really fit the map. They seem out of place. Also, on the edging of the walls directly benath the side ways stair case, you should have them turn a corner rather than them come from no where. (do you understand what I'm saying? I'm bad with words.) Also, the large Zekrom statue isn't perfectly centered, but that's not much of an issue, just more of my OCD.

Your towns look very nice, but there are two tree tile errors in the bottom left patch of trees of your ghost town. (which happens to be my favorite out of your 4 maps)
 
Thanks for your comment Colbex, I no what your saying about zekrom Temple i just wasnt sure about the stairs myself and i take on board what you have said. As for the ghost town its one of my favorites to, sometimes it just take another set of eyes to take out all the tile errors, so thanks.

Comments: A map I made to test out some tiles. Its not for a game or anything of that source, but still don't steal it, kay?
Spoiler:
 
That map could use some work. It's too open, and that sand pathway is huge. You should also probably clear up some of the tiles in the top-right corner. There's not that much space for the player to move into the gatehouse. (Yes, I know that it's not for a game, just giving you some tips.)

Another thing that's really bothering me is those mountain/cliff tiles. You do know that those are the edges for HGSS water, and not mountain tiles.
 
Just something that bothers me.. What happened to the roof of the lab? o_O

I really like the feel of this map, it gives a really spooky feeling.
I suggest making the water tiles a bit darker, because they are way too bright in my opinion.



I'd like criticism on this map I made :)

It's a good map, I like it. Although, the water tiles you've used, are in-fact puddle tiles. And the space you've left the player to walk is quite small.

Alright I'll start by saying that this is a DAMN small town. Am I to assume the south-going path on the left also constitutes part of this town? If so, it may be prudent to extend the hill they're situated on southwards, beside the path. I would suggest maybe putting a small path there with some flowers and benches, maybe a house too (I would also consider using more than one house design, or making a house that is mirrored for variety.
Speaking of the hill, on the right hand side of the path you have tile errors. Your hill seems to disappear into the trees, which are aligned as if no hill existed. You're done well with that on the left but on the right...also there are quite a few tile errors in general:

  • Juts below the third house's fence, there is a tree with two bottomleft foliage tiles, instead of a left and right.
  • In the top four rows of trees, 6 in from the right, there's a lot of mislinked trees.
  • In the rightmost house's roof a bit of a tree is visible over the house tiles.
  • The aforementioned trees misaligned with the disappearing hill tiles. I'm sure its not hard to spot.
  • South of the brown sign you have three trees in a _| shape. The corner one is missing it's right foliage.
Alright thats all I can spot for now. I hope what I've said makes sense to you, otherwise I can mock up a map in my kit to show you what I mean. Just lemme know if you want me to do that. Imma give this a 5/10.

Like prodigy said, the map itself isn't bad, but a few things bug me. Firstly every building in the town is blue. Every. Single. One. You definately need to have a few differently coloured buildings in there. Secondly, the swing set tile doesn't conform to the scale and alignment of the other tiles. the front struts should obstruct the back struts. Lastly, the grass tile adjoining the dirt path to the paved walkway around the statue doesn't make sense (cos the paving is on a dirt path, it can just go straight to that without grass) and also doesn't match the colour and style of the other grass tile.

So meaningful... I shed a masculine tear of realization.

I can't believe I didn't see it before! So much time we waste djghvbsjbving and jkdhsljging... But the real answer to creating maps isn't about djghvbsjbv or jkdhsljg! It's about fklgh! It's about fdjhg! It's about herpaderp and boing!

I suppose I should do something meaningful and rate a few maps while I'm here.

Rating: 3/10
Reason: For a temple exterior, the layout works, however there are a number of things that need alteration.
Suggestions:
1: All of the graphics in the map don't flow at all! Look at the colour of the grass compared the shading under the trees, The pathways are ugly and don't even flow with themselves. Additionally, rescaled Zekrom Sprites look terrible. Do something to make them look better.
2: Make the paths a bit more narrow - the main path is a bit to wide.
3: Usually with ruins, half destroyed pillars like that symbolize that some structure was there being held up by them at one point. However, the arrangement of yours make no sense.

Reason: I like it - this map has some real atmosphere to it. In terms of layout, I would change nothing.
Suggestions: Fix the shading under the trees, and make the water darker.

The map is amazing, don't change anything about it. The paths work, the mountains are well placed, and I'm surprised to see those trees being used so well in a Pkmn game. Good Job.

9.4/10


Side Note: Looks more like a town than a city or village, because of the brightness.

Very nice map. I like what you did with the scale - making the NPCs smaller gives the town a more realistic look. My only criticism is perhaps the map has too many small bushes, but that may be me just nitpicking.

Rating: 9/10
