Tech Demo: Seamless Map Transition

This is a demonstration of an idea I had for map design.

The idea was to facilitate transition between several outdoor map blocks without noticable transition, so as to create the illusion of a large, but still up-close and moveable map without actually being a huge map.

In this demo, there are three map blocks, each 50x50. There is a path with teleport events accross it placed in such a way that one would be teleported without noticing the map's edge. The map being teleported to would have a segment of the past map placed within the visible range of the teleported area, so that the transition was unnoticeable. For this to work, I would also have to have no flashy teleportation effect.

Granted, this is on a very small scale, and successful application would probably be difficult for a full-fledged game. But this is the only real contribution to the RPG Maker community that I can make, so I hope it counts.

I hope that you enjoy this idea of mine, but I hope even more that no one else has come up with it before me.
