MAPS WEEKLY 2: THE MAPPENING

@kory_tombs I like the gardens behind the houses & the worn down dirt paths! It makes it feel very lived in. My suggestions for improvement would to be have stuff that's going off the map. Right now everything is rather centered in the middle of the map which feels less natural. I would also move the second house up one tile, it feels a little cramped behind the other one right now.


@momeka Love the colors! The art style is very nice too. I only wish there were a couple more objects besides the skull outside the houses.


@altred I like the two distinct levels of the town and the way you handled all the foliage. All that nature looks great! I'd maybe move the tent away from the rest of the village, I think it'd look more interesting if it was more mysterious and secluded. Other than that I'd add more non nature tiles around the village- it feels a bit bare right now.


@everguard Love the fall colors and amount of detail! One logistic thing bugging me- how does that dude get out of his house to his backyard without going all the way around? That seems mighty inconvenient! Also how'd you harvest those pumpkins up on that ledge?


@Cap_H I love it! Very cute & nice relaxing colors- they're bright without being too over-saturated. I especially like the shape the river makes- it helps to break up the map a lot and creates a nice focal point for that tower.


@Make_it_Magik So lovely- it makes me wish it was a real place I could visit! I like the earthy colors, and the curved path through the town. Between the curved layout, the amount of details and the fact that part of the town is off the map it really feels believable.


@seiginohero I like all the lights on the trees! It makes it feel very welcoming. I would add more details to what you have on the map right now as it feels pretty empty. I'd also edit or nix those signs on the building, they feel wildly out of place with everything else and are bringing the whole map down with them.


@Luiishu535 I really like those tiles and the limited color pallet! I would move the old dead tree on the left down a little as it seems to be blending in to the trees behind it. Other than that it feels a little too symmetrical but that could just be a personal preference of mine.


@LockeZ Those fixes definitely helped a lot! I like the dock and the tiny boat. I'd maybe condense the town a little more- I feel like bringing the sides in together might result in a better flow. I'd also maybe darken the color of the tiles that make up the plaza and such. If they were browner I think they'd harmonize better with the other tiles.
