About me: I have mostly made servers to people that doesn't really care that much about how it looks, this time when i came up with an new idea i wanted to at least try to make a nice looking map.
The project: Its thought to be an medium/high rated server with teleport to every quest & hunt. Avg level 140, high level 180 enough about that, it isn't a discussion thread :$

I agree with you on that part, tho Blez said not so squary.
This is how it looks right now, still a long way to go..

- Some houses miss windows
- Borders are missing
- All tiles isn't correct
- Alot of houses et cetera is missing
- Nature isn't done

Sorry for showing unfinished parts, hope you won't get to angry.

Retard.
I realise that your life is so fail you have to find images to indirectly prove me wrong on a point. He's creating a city where there will be a medium/large number of houses.

Having a house as just one square and adding rooms within that square is what should be done.

The point was not a case of the house being a circle or not, next time you don't need to post a pathetic reply that shows how dismal your life is.

Sorry | afk.
 
@Joepod
Don't take sharp's joke that seriously, pics like the "o rly" and such are often just trololol :D

In the picture you posted, some of the houses are a little different from just being one big square.
100% perfectly squared houses = Sucks Balls, looks extremely boring then because everything is just the same thing over and over.
Real tibia have some, almost round houses and I have seen alot of OT's with houses that have round houses that look excellent.
Also, Rounding off some spots in a house could always work, for example the entrance to the house, or just make it stick out from the rest of the house.

@Topic
The houses look better now.
Perhaps make a balcony on ~ 25% of the houses? For some variations. (Balcony's that use supporting wood "pillars", not like the one you got there in the stone house.)
(For when you make more houses)

Depot looks kinda alright, But I really dislike the coffins there.. They don't fit at all.

And to mention the random grass borders near the shops? (or whatever they are supposed to be :huh:)
They are quite randomly scattered, perhaps change it around some?
Also the mountain flooring near the big house looks a bit out of place, after all, it's a town, they care about the streets :F

Good Luck, Keep Mapping

What is wrong with the streets? Just see two of them and they look fine.
The houses look a bit boring. Of course there is nothing wrong with square houses, but they now look a bit the same, try to add some difference in the houses.
You can make different shapes, use different wall/roof types and make a difference in size. Now they are all kinda big, having some small ones (npc houses for example, if you don't want small buyable houses) already can give a nice effect.
Also you can use some architecture effect to make unique houses.

I've added an example, not that you have to make something exactly like that, but its about the idea.

Also maybe add top mountain ground on the top of the mountain, this mostly makes it look better

You kinda opened up my eyes there, the house you made looks amazing :)

I am really thankfull, to all! Sorry i haven't posted anything new but i haven't felt any inspiration.
 
If you need some inspiration it can helps you to look at other maps. Look at shapes, details, zone difference, all kind of types you can use. This can often give some ideas and inspiration to make new things. Also downloading pieces can help sometimes, not to use them, but to look how they made it.
