Help!

Hello!

I need some inspiration on what to add to the 'Red' places on the map! Any suggestions welcome :p

Labelled for help!

Crono 08-25-2008 07:20 PM

That is some hot work so far.

The biggest red should be some kind of port town and the southmost red spot should be a foresty area with some shack to rent boats and whatnot. :pluffy:

Thanks!1 I've labelled the image with referances to the red places.

There's a town above it and it's too close to add another town :(

I'm trying not too add any more forest areas as I think I've got enough.

Well, not really foresty but I mean...secluded you know? "Middle of no where" type of thing, kind of like Bargad's tutorial level from 2002.

Oooh I like that idea! I could probably add a mini statue area, park or something in the middle ;)

1. A pit leading to the depths of the earth.
2. Empty space with moles in it.
3. Volcano battle.
4. Volcano battle.
5. A rift in the time-space continuum.

I actually second this idea.

A huge hole? LOL :D

Is it just me or does this map not make sense?

- Shouldn't snow be on the elevated parts of the island (assuming the white is a snow town)?
- Also it bothers me that the island has cliffs but all at a equal height (except that small section in the north). I would have added a mountain on the island itself.
- Below #4 the cliff splits away to a cave. That doesn't make any sense, it looks like the cliff either shrinks OR grows in height.

For my suggestions on what should be added, I'd like to see more forest. Maybe add a snow peak/town for #4. A small shop or couple houses for #5 (thinking witch's house or bandits?). #1 should be a town because you have a port there. #2 should be a wooded path, maybe with a forest town. Extend #3 and make a larger mountain range.

A lot of video games dont make sense.....even the Sims.

DustyPorViva 08-25-2008 10:21 PM

I think it looks great, and sometimes sense doesn't need to be applied.

Anyways, obviously you should dedicate a section to good ol' Dusty. But seriously... the top of the island mountain perhaps some sort of huge shrine.

Also, ruins are always great.

edit: oh, and why was I removed from Litter? :(

Elizabeth 08-25-2008 10:32 PM

the mountains already dedicated to me!

WanDaMan 08-26-2008 11:25 AM

It's a small map so I'm trying not to add more areas with trees.

I just filled it with snow tiles to see how big the town would be, a guide to where towns are going to be. NOTE : NOT SEVERAL SNOW TOWNS!

Very nice suggestions, I'll be adding a few of them!

Yeah, Elizabeth suggested several statues be placed in an area. So I'll be adding some people!

Could probably make it lava and make it erupt with boulders crashing down all over the overworld several times a day... haha :D

Demisis_P2P 08-26-2008 11:37 AM

I really love that map a lot.
It's large but it's not too large.
Everything is spaced nicely and defined clearly.
It looks like it makes good use of levels (cliffs).

Zodiac and UN take notes.

Rufus 08-26-2008 12:38 PM

It looks nice, but I agree with max in that there is too many snow areas with weird placement and that was the first thing I noticed.

The map sure looks nice, but doesn't it have a little bit too much cliff?
The levels wont be playable? :o

I'm a fan of cliffs (obviously!). I love to connect them to get to other parts of the map, I guess it depends on how you actually plan to play the levels. I love going through cliffs to get to other parts of the map!
