Title: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: Arwym on March 07, 2007, 03:43:01 PM: 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?

Post by: Falcon on March 08, 2007, 02:16:06 AM: 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
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: :) on March 08, 2007, 03:06:14 AM: I will look on my external for it.
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: .:Pyroken Serafoculus:. on March 08, 2007, 06:55:19 AM: 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?
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: Irock on March 08, 2007, 07:04:35 AM: Am I the only one who used 2003 and made horrible maps? :'(
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: Blizzard on March 08, 2007, 12:01:40 PM: @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.
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: Arwym on March 09, 2007, 06:05:06 PM: 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.

The last one looks great. It reminds me of a nice fishing spot I found about a mile from where I live.
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: keyblade_bearer on March 12, 2007, 01:30:14 AM: It does? It looks even better with some shade...

But, thanks.
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: :) on March 12, 2007, 02:06:48 AM: 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
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!
Post by: .:Pyroken Serafoculus:. on March 27, 2007, 10:46:16 AM: That's good for a first map, it really is. I certainly couldn't manage an interior like that on my first try.
Title: Re: Show Your First Maps EVER!

It's to big with to much junk cluttering it. But, oh well.

Post by: Halestorm5 on March 31, 2007, 01:13:36 PM: ...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!

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...
