CloseI am trying my hand at making a mountain map for my game right now and it's not going so well. I realize that the RTP tiles aren't very good for making mountains, but I think the bigger problem is my lack of ability to design maps. Could someone suggest a VX game with a good mountain map I could check out or better yet, could someone make me a real simple map using the RTP? The one I need isn't very big maybe like 40 x 20 with one cave entrance at the top. I'm just terrible at this mapping stuff ha.
I'm not sure 40x20 would look very good. I'll give it a go. I've done other mountain maps but eh I'd rather make you a custom one.
So do you want blunt steps or a lader or weavy windy up to the top or would you rather have caves and cliffs to get to the top?

The map size can be whatever, it just doesn't need to be very big. And just a windy road to the top, maybe with some cliffs would probably be best. The idea is that it's a path that seems to go nowhere on a deserted island but the cave is later opened up by a switch. So I don't really want the player to waste too much time exploring on the map until its useful.
And thank you! I'm trying to learn how to map better myself, but being only 2 months into it and taking on a huge project I'm probably biting off more than I can chew ha.

So get the player there simple and direct.... maybe enable a teleporter too once you've walked up. That way the player doesn't have to walk. But its your game of course.
Mountains are tough. Its horrible. Even good mountains people say look like legos.

Yeah, they're pretty beyond my scope, ha. I'm trying to take the advice you gave me on other maps and they're starting to look better. I'm planning on going through and redoing my maps once I get past this island part of my game. The 'Den of the Baragon' maps need a ton of work and I'm hoping redoing those will be a good learning experience, ha.

That actually looks amazing, ha. Its pretty much exactly what I need. Thank you! Do I just make this a parallax or can you send it to me somehow?
Yeah but then that would destroy the look of the other tilesets but I understand people have to not like RPG VX tiles.
Someone on here made a game in a dream where you climb a mountainside all while in the waking world living with your gf. Made me think of Catherine. Perhaps if my mountain had less cliffs and more ledges I'd feel its like Catherine.
I don't want to rain on this parade, but despite this being a well laid out map, it is just so damn ugly.Is it for a joke game?

Aside from the blockiness already mentioned by ShortStar, whats so ugly about this map? I think it's really well made and fits the exact purpose of what its made for (not a joke game).

I guess that would make it prettier, but for the area its in it wouldn't make much sense. This map makes more sense.
