How big do your RPG's tend to get.

(actually, imma gonna ask a favour in the resources section...i'm hoping someone will do the basic shape for me XD)

i'm going to do each part of the world large though so even though there are two continents, it'll be like two large world maps (and there are actually three continents o.O)

Hm, both vincent, damn I couldn't find a cloud one...(he's my fave character, i've been through a similar life and he looks like me (okay nothing like Shinra or the action but just certain things)

nevfx · January 09, 2007, 08:11:10 PM

World Maps, they scare me. There so big.

(Vincents mine, lol)

Malson · January 09, 2007, 08:21:38 PM

Holy christ one of you change it. You make me

Anyway, I think I'm cutting down each area to 50x50, because that's just simply more manageable.

Ravenshade · January 09, 2007, 08:41:58 PM

I will change asap...*goes to find a nifty cloud one*

Ravenshade · January 09, 2007, 08:50:06 PM

found a cloud one...

I think I underestimated people's level of mapping.

Malson · January 09, 2007, 09:28:55 PM

The one I used before was tons cooler. He was wearing sunglasses, lemme get it for you.

edit:

enjoy!

One of my world maps i 320x240 and the other will be 240x180. I made it for the sake of the 4:3, so I can put a pic of the map into the game and it doesn't look shit.

Ravenshade · January 10, 2007, 11:16:14 AM

4:3?

My world maps are going to be a lot larger...i've just got to find the time to make them...*sigh* (super large) (500 x 500, x2..possibly 3)

Malson · January 10, 2007, 02:57:49 PM

The only reason mine is so small is because the area it represents is massive.

Darico · January 10, 2007, 05:52:44 PM

My current world map is 450x400... and its so big I could cry

I think im going to make it more like 300x250 as I dont think I need all that space...

Snailer · January 10, 2007, 06:21:06 PM

Mine is 200 × 200 now I don't know if I'm gonna make it bigger or leave it.
Because i am also making alot maps outside World map.

nevfx · January 10, 2007, 06:24:53 PM

My world map is 350x300. I hate it.

World maps are overrated.

I couldn't agree more.

nevfx · January 10, 2007, 08:00:08 PM

Yet people worry about how big they are.

Reives · January 10, 2007, 08:06:19 PM

World maps are still a good touch imo, if they are not overdone (/oversized in some cases).

Ravenshade · January 10, 2007, 09:52:06 PM

World maps are good if you know how to do them.

Mine is going to be huge, and fairly detailed, but really they're set journey's from one place to another for teleports and stuff, I don't know I haven't decided for my own, whether to go FF7 style, or FFX-2 style. Cut scene's and stuff will be based on them.

Green Dragon · January 11, 2007, 06:46:35 AM

I have a load of maps in my project(Not Available) and i have planned that there will be over 250 maps and its a huge multiyear project. Some of these maps are a bit larger than what people expect... I made a castle on about 500x500... SO all the important buildings are there. Like Keep, barrack, towers and such...and 5 of the maps are just the Epilouge, Credits and Prolouge...

I've reached 40 and I'm not even close to even 1/4 done with my game. I shorten down my map numbers by putting smaller maps with the previous map.

Darico · January 12, 2007, 07:02:41 PM

Yep, I decided to lower my world map size down to 300x250. I think i'll have it so you have to go back to old places more instead of having a series of new places.

Kan · January 15, 2007, 02:20:15 AM

I'm planning on having well over 1000+ maps, but most of them are on the default 20x15 scale, but I do have a couple maps pulling over the 300x240 mark, so there.

Blizzard · January 15, 2007, 01:34:07 PM

You can only have 1000 maps in RMXP. Make them bigger instead.

Ravenshade · January 15, 2007, 05:10:54 PM

damn...doesn't that make it lag more, because of the sudden load of events?

How big do your RPG's tend to get.

I want to know how big the rpgs tend to get, so I can see whether mine is big or small.
