CloseMy game, The 7 Dragons, has been denied twice because apparently the maps are "not filled enough" or "too symmetrical." So, Im going to ask you. Go here::

::to see some screens of the game and I want your opinion: should it have been accepted, or should it stay denied.
x: the rooms that are symmetrical are the important rooms of the game, like at the end of dungeons and stuff, where there is some big thing about to happen.

Be honest, how long did it take to make these maps?
They're bang on the money about them being denied because they're just too bland.
On another note I think it would of been a better idea to take a look at the quality of the other screenshots on this site and spend some time improving your own. It would of been a wiser idea to pm the staff and raise the issue with them rather than make a topic out of it. Good luck in future attempts :)

well, these screens arent from in game. i opened my game on rm2k3 and took em there. i wouldnt be able to get the entire map if it was in game, so i know the quality is bad.
and it took me a while to figure out how i was going to draw these maps, but only about a little bit to make them. i didnt feel like going all out and putting in piles of useless stuff like barrels or bags or similar things just to fill up space. i see no point in that because in my opinion, an RPG is classified as good or bad depending on the actual gameplay and storyline and not its looks or how it appeals to only one person.
plus i used only the internal RTP so this is how its going to look regardless.
and if you want to try out the game, go here:

I disagree and I don't think the game should have been denied solely on that reason. I've seen so much worse accepted on this site previously. Sure standards have been raised since that Mario and Sonic fiasco, but your maps are too symmetrical? What the bloody hell is that about? Let the guy map how he maps.

heres the most recent denial reason
Reason -- What's with the weird symmetry in all these maps?
My answer: They are important places! Look at final fantasy games: Same thing!

http://www.retrowalkthroughs.com/final-fantasy-1/images/maps/chaos-shrine-1f.png
Reason -- Please play some classic games like Hero's Realm (it's on this site!) and study what makes a pretty map.
My answer: Yeah,id do that. When i learn how to make them look that good. I have no clue how to make a map like this.

Reason -- This just doesn't seem to be at the standard I'd like to see it yet.
My answer: Well, its not only your opinion is it?

Your town maps are a little bland. You should put in some roads, etc. for one of them, and just add more trees in general. You don't need lots of bags of rice and barrels of booze, just add more trees. Cause in nature, there is a lot of them.
But I don't think that should be the sole reason that your game was denied.

Play Hero's Realm and learn how to make your maps look a little bit more like that before you keep trying to submit your game over and over again.
that happened to me. the symetry makes it epic. but here's some ideas:
-make walls. the tiles/chipsets have wall items that are very noticeably walls.
-there's not a lot of NPC's. ad more and it'll be way better.
-show 'em some battles! the only reason they rejected mine after i did that was because i didn't make it long enough
-just keep improving and submiting it. it'll be aproved eventually because you learn from your failures!

Kid: My mommy has breast cancer. What can she do to get better?
Random Forum Poster: Tell her to play Hero's Realm. It cures breast cancer for people who enjoy it.

post=155187Yes, you are exactly right. What the bloody hell are these crumb bum staff members on about with these notions of quality and higher aspirations? I will map how I want, when I want, and as much as I want and as God as my witness I will shout it on high to everybody with an ear for reason.

Reason -- This just doesn't seem to be at the standard I'd like to see it yet.Doesn't matter. This isn't a democracy and I would rather see you submit a better designed, more respectable project to the site that you can be proud of. Visual appearance isn't everything though, as a concept of story I wanted you to develop it further or describe your project once more in a way that feels more like you are pitching your idea to a professional company. I am interested not only in visual products, but also ideas.
My answer: Well, its not only your opinion is it?
As for the lackluster games you find across RMN now and then: Some projects slip through the cracks and make it on the website. The system is maintained by humans, you know: Living, breathing creatures that make mistakes.
