outside level
 

I thought I would get your opinion before submitting this in my lat app for a player world. This is only one of the levels I have to submit....so I will be posting more later on.

build your levels around 1 central theme. dont just place random things to fill in space. if it a mountain level then add cliffs, rocks, and such. if its water then add a beach, sand, water, etc. here i see random fences, random rocks, etc. I know this might seem like i'm saying its no good. It is good. For a start though. You need to develop your levels more. ;)

Ok. Here is the edited version...

and another level...

You can attach images directly into your post, and it makes everyones lives easier.

Anyway, try doing the paths by hand or at least editing them a bit, and try connecting your trees instead of just placing individual ones. For some hints, try looking around at other people's posted levels and looking at as many examples as possible there is plenty of good advice about cliffs, trees, houses, detailing, and anything else you could want to know that has been posted by many expert level makers. Also, the tutorials that are stickied at the top of this forum are fantastic to use, I read them all at least once, most of them twice, and my levels (though still not anything to brag about) definetly did improve.

Don't use pre-defined roads, improve your detail, the building is horrible, get some trees linked together, improve your grassing skills.

By grassing I mean grass->dirt tiles, grass->water, etc.

This level can be ALOT more detailed, but more specifically, the house. Way too plain.
