Okay, thanks. But yours does look like it has a lot more rooms in it. That's why it's bigger. As for the other screens, I'm just mapping the general area. After all that's done I'm going to go back and edit each screen so they all have a purpose.

I actually have to say, Kren's version of the castle looks much better. The original one looks really well, plain and far too symmetrical... The map is coming out pretty well, but the desert also looks really HUGE. Can you imagine having to roam around a giant desert where there's not much going around. Even if there's enemies and traps, that's still going to be annoying to walk around.

Hm... I should probably put something here...

not only the desert, also the beach looks really loong.

BTW, do you mind If I continue editing it just for fun :o?

Go ahead, Kren. Just remember that this isn't for free use.

Because you touch yourself at night. Go away.

Sure, Tetiro. I just want to be a good cartographer. By the way, Porkchop, don't think I didn't take your comment seriously. I did. And I went ahead and colorized the areas in Holodrum to compare them to my colorized areas. Mine are a tad too square. :P

I even had thoughts of doing a zelda fan-game again. Providing I got permission, I have my eyes of Unknown Origins (Scoot)

Watch it. And the other 7 videos. A good fan series

Say, that's pretty good. I thought it was going to be a game, not a flash series. Reminds me of Naruto.

look at the MC areas though, they're rather rectangular.

Meh, I redid some of my area outlines anyway. I'm going to redo the Zora area. I didn't like it.

No, seriously, why is everything so square? That's a sign of bad mapping, especially when all your cliff formations are squared, which is purely unnatural.

I used to map GB style long ago for a long time, and that's the first mistake I made when I started. I made everything square and it made things look terrible.

Oh, the cliffs. I'll have another look at the cliffs in Holodrum and Labrynna and get some inspiration.

I find it cool that you are inspiring yourself from Holodrum and Lybrinna maps but you should try to get inspiration from nature >_>, you will see that most rock formation aren't squares/circles/triangles/etc. they are more irregular shapes, for the maps I find nothing wrong to do square areas, since you are doing that due to the screensize. I am glad you are going to change what you have :3. I am glad that you are going to change the desert, I still find it really big, I hope that the orange part in the desert turns looking as ancient ruins. I still don't understand the point of the right down corner, you are using many screensize in just adding random treasures, IMO with only one screensize you can accomplish to add all the treasures in that area by adding puzzles. in the desert you can also add some rocky formations.

The lower right corner is supposed to end up being a sort of minigame using the shovel and speed. I'm using those two maps because I'm limited to those tiles now. (I don't really want to make customs yet. I'll have to eventually though. There's a peach spot on my map that will be like the Cloud Tops in MC) I'll add some rocks and cliffs to the desert, too. I WAS going to make a Gerudo fortress in the huge orange space, but I do like your idea of ruins a lot better. Maybe I'll mix the two!

Halfway through the forest. This is the hardest area I've had to do so far.
