  1. Hello Game Makers!

    I've finally got my tiles set all sorted for my main project.. and I wanted to do some practices with mapping with them.
    So, here's what I'll do..

    Make a suggestion for a map. Almost anything (except modern/science)!! And I will attempt to make a 10x17 (or smaller) map to post here. Just follow the guidelines below and let's see how it goes.

    Suggestion:
    - Indoor, Outdoor, or Either
    - Broad Idea


    Example:
    - Dungeon style
    - Treasure Nook





    I am open to constructive criticism and suggestions on all finished maps. However, I will NOT be using DooDads, Lighting Effects, or Parallax. All maps will be tiled. :)

    Challenge me!!

  2. Outdoor fishing pond.
  3. Added snuggly little Fishin' Pond, right next to Hotel Moogl.. I mean, Critter Inn. :)

    Thanks @MMMm !! This one was fun. :)

  4. A castle courtyard/garden in the desert.
  5. Indoor petting zoo.
  6. Castle Courtyard, w/Small Oasis Garden starting to bloom. :)
    Thanks @Sharm . It was fun.

    I'm still kind of amazed at how good that looks on such short notice with someone just throwing something out there.
  8. Bedroom/upper floor of protagonist's house! (the classic RPG start map;) )
  9. An illegal moog... ehm, critter fighting den ;)
  10. Thanks @bhindi1224 ! I appreciate the compliment. I will get to the rest soon. Internet at my house has been down and I use the Steam Version. :)

    I look forward to getting creative with those suggestions! :)

  11. Thanks @bhindi1224 . I had a fun/challenging time!! I present to you an Indoor Zoo!!
    (I couldn't get the "petting" part locked down. Tried to fit a lot onto that 10x17 grid.) LOL!!

  12. That looks awesome.!
  13. @Parallax Panda , A simple, and slightly overdecorated, Hero Starter Room.

    This Hero is an artist! And a Moogl.. erm, "Critter". And of COURSE he's sleeping! That's how his epic tale begins. :)

  14. @M.I.A.

    That's how a proper RPG should start. Sleeping hero, mom downstairs! Good job!:kaopride:
  15. @MintAdnade , A literal "underground" Critter Arena, not sanctioned by the Castle, that's for certain!!

    This was fun. I think I could improve on my mapping for 'darker' themes.. :)



    Who has more challenges for me?? :)

  16. I'll give you another one to keep you busy.

    How about a raft or boat drifting down a (somewhat wide) forest river? That should be a little tricky (depending on your tilesets).
  17. Hmm. An ER reception for fantasy heroes. Maybe a patient room or two. That could be interesting.
  18. Do a maid cafe.
  19. @Parallax Panda , What was tricky is trying to make the river look wide as well as have some interest..

    Broken bridge!! Instruction manual?.. Sailing Moogl.. er.. critter!! :)

    *EDIT* Yes, I see a couple overlapping errors. Oh well.



    Thanks for the suggestion. :)

  20. @Sharm Welcome to Fantasy ER. Where the Doctors are geniuses, the Crystals are healing, and Harold takes a much deserved nap as Therese, Marsha, and Lucius eagerly await continuing their adventure!!

    (Also, sorry for double post?.. I seem to be under the impression it's 'ok' when adding new content?.. I could be wrong? What's the verdict on that?)



    This one was fun. I enjoyed using the "Code Blue" theme. :) Thanks for the suggestion.
