PYRODOOM'S PROFILE

Best mapping tip - Make it look good. If it doesn't look good you're doing it wrong. (unless it looks good at the expense of functionality). Obviously we all have at least some sense of what looks good otherwise we wouldn't be able to look at a nice-looking game on here and say "nice mapping"... So if you look at your own maps and don't think "nice mapping" or couldn't imagine anyone else saying that about it then it's most likely not good.

I honestly don't see what peoples' issue with that is. it's really that simple. What makes a map look good? A sense that it is the thing it's meant to be.

I guess you could say that the better and more interesting a map looks, whilst doing everything you need it to do, the better.

Honestly having a community at your expense gives you a huge advantage in this area. I never particularly practiced to get better at mapping in rpg maker and find that notion somewhat hilarious. This is because we have a huge selection of nicely mapped games on here which we can see screen-shots from, play etc.. You see what makes things in those games look good and you just apply those principles to your own maps. No need to practice. Personally when I map for a game I just mess around until it looks good.

thanks...i guess

"today, I'll make a nice exterior of a house, show it so people can help you, then a nice interior, work it till it's sufficiently good, then there are the commands, , try them out , the switches, make an event a little difficult, once again till you have really succeedeed, by the end of all this, you'll realize you cannot make anything and every thing with rpgmaker, it has its limits, then for your first game : make something simple
( take a story with a beginning, a midde and an end), well that's all, I hope it can help... I's say : learn first, do after?

Thanks, but about the mapping part, the house is the basics, stuff I should already know, though it was just an example. Meanwhile, I'm talking about decorating a map, it's another situation of,"I know what I'm doing wrong, I just don't know how to fix it", you see? I see stuff in nature and I obviously can't replicate it, and since it's random and not really "perfect", that's what I do, and it looks messy! Other times there just really barren maps ^_^.
Than there's the commands, most of these commands will get me frustrated if I try anything with them and fail completely, and have to restart. This is another problem....I just got an idea for a mine system...while typing this post. BRB, and if it works, than HURRAY!Bye.

I've been here for only about a year, so what? It's been months! Do you even know what a noob is?

^_^ thanks, o.k., what's each square size? Isn't a charset character 16X16? So what would a tile be?

Five down, seven to go.

A question for the creators of Sister's Storybook? Why Death!?!?!?

What's with the random updates, and since, if you couldn't do the math, 5+7=12, and 4+6=10, you made a mistake, the first nuber goes up, the second has to go down because there less, unless you meant to do that...that's idiotic if you did ^_^

I am the last remaining judge, so I figured people might be interested in knowing how I'm progressing, since the contest results are dependent on my progress. Also, yes, I meant to say seven down, five to go. Thank you for correcting me.

Now go suck a barrel of cocks.
