Or this link would work just as well.
Also, please make your signature smaller. If I wanted to see the progress on your games, I would see their threads.

Lol, Pacman, that was very entertaining. I suggest looking at a few maps of... the world I suppose. Then using it as reference for your own. In my opinion, the key to making a good world map is by making each location distinct so that it actually looks like a world rather than a giant island.

He's right, here. Grace of Vil's world system works well because hiromu manages to put detail into the fragmented maps. Most world maps you see would just have that one tile for a village, whereas in his way hiromu can make the entire village in the world map. It's a very good system.
