MAPS WEEKLY!

Making world maps is harder than it looks, instead of making a whole world I just made some islands...

Think this might be the first time I've mapped anything even remotely close to a world map.

Technically I'm cheating, since these are both maps I made ages ago, but I consider them my best world mapping to date. First off is a 2k3 RTP map made in VXA (huge image):

Going back even further, this is a snippet of a map I made with rudra rips years ago:

I'll sit this one out because I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE world maps. They annoy me :P
I would rather explore the world myself than become a giant and walk around the planet.
I love that chipset ESBY. Pixel Myth Germania isn't it?

Pizza - I dread to think how long they both took.
ED - Nah not Pixel Myth, it's a new pack called Time Fantasy by the same artist behind Old School Modern.

Yeah I saw that too. I may buy it. It looks similar to pixel myth though.

Waka, that castle town is pretty cute. I would fragment forests a bit. Also, putting water behind the upper part of the town would make it look more plastic.

ESBY, lovely coast. I almost dare to say best...

Pizza, I love that rudra map. It's really cool, how it's almost empty and how the nature stands out.

Here is my world map, made with some random edit of RTP (correct me If you recognize it).
It was from a secret RTP that isn't well known. Not bad, though the edging on the long grass and mountains against the water is messed up.

These World Maps look so awesome. Looking at all of these screen shots has got my creative juices pumping. I can't wait to get my hands dirty with mapping residue. Totally subscribing to this thread!

Yeah. I stumbled apon it many years ago and used it for CC without realising what it was. A long while later Nessy mentioned a secret RTP when we were chatting and showed me an image and, hey, surprise! It was the graphics I'd picked up from who-knows-where. I'm quite fond of them.

Amazing! Do they have dungeon and town tilesets in them, too?

EDIT: Well if you used them in CC, of course they do! I played a decent amount of that game XD

Niiiiice! Love those custom tiles! :DDD

Liberty, you HAVE to send them to us 0o0
It is a must have!
Yup! There's a lot of great variety. Here's a few examples -
Well, I'll be damned. That's better than any resource pack I've ever seen...
I would like to borrow some of those graphics.

I don't think I have this secret RTP. I found it a folder called Chipset, where are...chipsets. Some look like rearranged 2k3 RTP, some are like this and some are oddities like 'body' or 'inferno.'

@ChristianGameMaker Good to hear! Looking forward to your results.

Oh.My.God. I HAVE TO GET THAT!
I'll try googling it. If I find it I'll send you guys the link.
***Edit***
Oh wait, it's a rpg maker 2003 game so we can get them from the ''graphics'' folder. HEHEHE....
There's a lot of edits I made to the set in CC so they aren't in their untouched glory. I cut out a lot of graphics and messed around quite a bit so...

Definitely wishing I hadn't said anything now. :/
