GAME DENIED. MY MAPPING NEEDS "SOME PRETTY SERIOUS HELP." THAT'S LESS THAN HELPFUL...

CloseYour game got denied for simply looking bad!!! I really find that unfair seeing that some games use Atari, GB, and NES styled pallets. Wow, this is the first time I've seen this. If it's that bad I'll map for you then. I'm a pretty good mapper, I think.(I can't map currently due to several PC related reasons... but)
Hey... your screens don't even look that bad. No they're not the best but I've seen much worse on this site. Let me know if you need help.

I think part of it also was how I used a particular tileset. If you're going for a specific look/style, then you have to execute that particular look well. Otherwise, you are not meeting the standard that you've set for yourself by going for said look. I'm not using a custom tileset either, so there has also been a precedent set for how well something can look with the tileset that I'm using.
If you could help me out that would be real cool of you, but I would still like to do some of the mapping as well, especially the dungeon areas. I haven't had the chance to spend more time on other kinds of maps like towns, etc., so I don't really know what kind of quality that I can produce as long as I put the time in. Anyways, it would be tremendously helpful to have another mapper on board.

Sure. I'm sure that your game won't be done in the near future and I don't have the PC capabilities at the moment. I'll get back to you when I can start mapping.

Alright cool, keep me posted. I plan on making a bunch of quick, unpolished maps next so that I can script the cutscenes, etc.

-video-
Only the video has little to do with the topic. Mapping is an important part of game design. The lay-out of maps have nothing to do with graphics, nor aesthetics. Well designed maps can make a game more fun, while bad or boring looking maps make a game less fun.
Although your maps aren't really bad, they're not great either... still, it's not like I could do much better. Mapping isn't my strongest point either.
Wouldn't surprise me if my game gets denied cause of how some of my maps look, seeing they are that picky about it. It's been pending for like 3 days now, not sure why it's taking so long to read a description and check some screenshots...

Yeah, it's not 100% relevant. I was trying to drive home the point that a specific tileset might require a specific look when using it. Perhaps not the best video explanation for this purpose.
And yeah, I'm not sure what's up. I resubmitted mine like 5 days ago. Perhaps, the mods were busy with the VX Ace Lite Cookoff Contest?
