This is an answer to a request for an RTP Post Town tutorial.
Here we go.
I made my map 50x50
Step One:
Fill the first layer with some grass, don't forget to add some darker colored grass, and some dirt.

Step Two:
I like to add some water around the town a bit, to help keep it enclosed a bit.

Step Three:
Add the basic houses around where you want them. This might look a little funny to some people, but you'll understand if you read this.

Step Four:
Go ahead and finish the houses, and put some trees around to help enclose the town some, and make it more natural.

Step Five:
Add some details to the map, and houses. Give them windows, add some plants and other random stuff around.

Step Six:
Add some events, people, animals, smoke, doors. All that good stuff.

And this is what it should look like ingame.

*Note* I know I didn't put doors, as this is a special town. :P Also if they're are mapping errors, or it seems empty, I'm sorry. I made the map, and tutorial in about 15 minutes.
As always feedback is appreciated.
Nice!!! Only thing I recommend is making the map look a little more "full." Place more flowers and stuff around the town. Other than that, good job!
It's a bit empty, and I noticed one mapping error.
Other than that. good job.

Don't be a meanie and just tell him the error so people don't accidentally mess up. X_X
Okay, don't put a ladder on the wall of a house, unless it looks like it's propped up against it.
;)
Ah.... It's only in the in-game screenshot. Just move it one square down.
Like all have said already, the mapping is a little bit empty, but it's a good tutorial.
