Forum :: Artists :: Another map.

Well, this is the first one I made for a while. Just for the fun of it. Got nothing better to do, I guess. Thinking about adding another island on the left side of the map. Seems to me too much water. Other than that, anything you guys can point out to me that I should change?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've edited it, and here's the result.^  Anything else I can do?

Why is it on 45 degree diagonal? Map should be on 30 degree isometric though.

It's just the way it saved. It looks fine on the mapper and in-game. I'll take another screenshot with a different program later.

Edit: Should look better now. No clue why it did that. o.o

I really like what you did there :P

I'll look at it closer shortly and see if there is anything I find wrong.

purple= extend

red= remove

Not sure if queen was pointing to this but I doubt it.

When your map extends off onto the black (As though its a warp and will continue onto another map)

Here's something I do.. First off i extend the walls, etc, onto black ground tiles, and then Edge those black tiles so in the mini map it doesnt show them.  This creates a better illusion that the map is actually an edge, and you won't see the water/whatever ground tiles underneath.  I dothis when I make ships the go off the map.

Edit: oh make sure to add warps/walls/whatever so players don't walk onto that part of the map either.  Not sure if you completely follow so feel free to ask. Lol.

exactly what i meant >.>

Yeah if you remove them you get a better 3d look, Other than that looks good

Thanks for the feedback. I've edited it like Queen said. Looks a lot better now, I think. If there's anything else you still think could be improved please don't hesitate to post.

The only suggestion I have is something I was told a while ago about mapping, is that how often is there an area in nature that's completely square? Use edge tiles to make it unique and not so square.

@make Thanks, I don't make then too often, but whenever I do I'll be sure to post them here. :)

@brotard Which island is square...? The top one has 2 flat sides, but that's only because I placed it in the corner.

Edit: Unless you were talking about the water. In that case, then I think it's fine. Thanks for the input though, :D

I was talking about the water haha. But hey, it was merely a suggestion and not an order haha
