I hope this is the right forum for this. If not, please move it to the appropriate

Some screenshots of my game "Relic" I've been currently working on for about 6 months (RPGM3). I've scrapped it and started over many times so my progress is slow.

Anyway, just looking for some feedback on my maps. I don't want to delve into the plot/storyline because I don't want to create any hype yet until I'm almost finished. These are all the same map.

Here they are (Taken with a digital cam):








Tell me what you all think.

Those are much better than what I can make.
I definitely like the last pic.

HOLY CRAP!!!! That is a 110% better then what I can do great work !!!

Very good looking map!

It's nice to see some graphical talent that eclipses my own. I especially love the pointed mountain tops and brown side of the plateau that the castle rests on. Great attention to detail! I see you also have some "brown sides" for steep river banks. Very cool.

I would add more forested regions, as the "green field" parts look a bit too barren. Or perhaps beds of wildflowers or grass if it won't cause slowdown.

Rock on, dude!

That's pretty darn good there! Better than what I can do!

Looks dang good! Rock out with your clock out!

Oh my god!

That is a really great map there! I especially like the mountains, they're really cool Seraphim. I agree with Crythania about puting more of the "forest" region to add that green-ness touch ^^

Good job ^^ V

Looks good.

Thanks everyone! I agree, a few more trees wouldn't hurt. I am a bit concerned about slowdown, but I wanted to add some rocks to give it a bit of a rocky coastal feel.

Try adding some dirt to the large grass areas. Ya know, it will seem more realistic IMO.

Set the tree density to "Many". Default trees don't cause slowdown. It's decorative objects, towns, and dungeons that could cause slowdown if you have too many on the map. A few rocks and palm trees on a beach shouldn't cause slowdown. Experiment with it.

Something the map needs is dirt roads. If it's a well traveled region, I think there should be roads leading to towns and other places of interest.

Patches of brown dirt couldn't hurt, but in flat regions it looks square-ish. Try creating a small mound of dirt or a small hill, so as to break up the square-ish look of the graphics.

I agree with Crythania, you did the sides of the castle's plateau beautifully. Also, good job with the mountains, they look like they were individually modeled -takes time, but thats the way to go.

Looks impressive! I've tried making my own maps, but got frustrated a few hours later

Goes without saying you're getting much better with the map editor! I really like this one more then your others. Good job.

Well Lausen, I have you to thank for it! Like I said before, after seeing your maps, I was determined to make improvements on my own (although my old ones were pretty good IMO).

And yes Leviathan, I did mold them individually, and yes it did take a looooong time. But it's totally worth it.
