Hey, ever wondered what was each others' first map? :D
I have!
So, I created this thread so that we can show screenshots of our first maps, ever. Doesn't matter in which program.
I don't know if this topic has been created before, so I am sorry if it was. At least we get a new one! :D
Here's my first, first map. It's the "transition" between a town and a forest. Therefore, the road is surrounded by bushes and there are little trees. Although, two more trees wouldn't have hurt. (Created in 2005.)
Here:

My second map, the town. I got the house wrong, I know. However, what can I do? Those tilesets made me feel dizzy. Now I get them a little more. But I am still learning, for after this first try, I kind of gave up. :( (Created in 2005.)

So what about YOUR maps?
Here is my first map ever.

Chaos project is your first game?
Yup.
Arwym's maps are better than my first lot. ._.
There's no way those were your very first maps :P
Seriously, my first maps were horrid, then again, that was in 05. In fact, they're so old imageshack doesn't link to them anymore XD
I will look on my external for it.
I don't have any record of my first maps, but I do believe I can make a replica of them.
Magical, aren't they?
Am I the only one who used 2003 and made horrible maps? :'(
@Darklord: Yes, it is my first map. I admit that I changed it a little bit later, but I didn't really improve it. You have to consider that I have played many oldskool RPGs in my life and that I was 19 when I started working in RM. It's natural that my first maps are no crap. Sure, they were no masterpieces, maybe not even really good, but they were definitely no crap.
There's a lot of talent here! :D
I really like these maps. They are not perfect, but I've seen much worse things in actual RM games.
I hope to become a great mapper someday. But then again, I haven't created a game map since 2005. O_O I am just getting back to RM.
Look at the first and last, nothing to say but wow.
Very good job on both! I really like them. :)

The last one looks great. It reminds me of a nice fishing spot I found about a mile from where I live.
It does? It looks even better with some shade...
But, thanks.
if you fix the mistakes on the second map it can become a good map.
And sorry, no dice on my extternal...I'll check my laptop later.

Done with RMXP, for my very first game Dawndusk.
And my very very first map. LOL I did houses before worlds! xD
That's good for a first map, it really is. I certainly couldn't manage an interior like that on my first try.
And I couldn't manage exterior. LOL.

It's to big with to much junk cluttering it. But, oh well.
Well... It's kinda... full. But it's nice.. :)
This is my first map, its just a quick thing i did to help me get used to how XP actually works

It's weird, the first one is better than the second.
lol i know, more than likely cus its small and i just gotta get better at using bigger areas
Oh my GOD that was ages ago!!

Might not be perfect but it's a replica
...My first map was when I was stupid and didn't know about Layers... Or how to use walls... And use Out area's correctly... Or use events well... LOL!

I've only had RPG Maker XP for about a week or so I think. My first time using any rpg maker.

How the HELL are you so good at mapping when you've only had RMXP for week?
He must have great learning ability and a will to do better. That or I'm completely wrong and he just learned in a few days 'cause it was eay :P

That will answer any questions you may have. :D
Here's the swamp that I just made for nouman to grade.

I'm sure there's a bunch wrong with it. The swamp tileset is a bit tricky to use at first.
And after some tips about 15 minutes...
