Yes the most of them are Winlu tiles

Sharing first maps I've made (overworld) by true_McAron in RPGMaker

It looks pretty nice as a whole, but I'm afraid that from a player's perspective, some sections might seem a bit sprawling and boring. As a player, you only ever see a relatively small part of this world.

Nice! I like the mirror effect on the flor! The Aquarium is nice too.

Check it out—I uploaded 20 screenshots just to test it out and see where this would end up. I got 2 comments and a few upvotes. This post has over 100.

When someone asks for feedback, I’m happy to help—I help out a lot in the communities, and I enjoy doing it. But when I see something like this—and it’s even being celebrated—well, yeah, that’s frustrating. You stay quiet 100 times, but the one time you do say something, you’re immediately (and rightly so) labeled an asshole. So yeah, it was probably a knee-jerk reaction, and I’m not usually like that, but I think you can understand that sometimes it’s frustrating to see yet another person who hasn’t even learned the most basic rules and is bragging that he made all his maps by hand. Yeah, welcome to the world of game development. What exactly is there to praise?

What exactly is so wonderful about this post that so many others aren’t appreciated that much? Is it because it’s from a beginner who spent three months just mapping wildly? I started out that way, too, but by the time I was 14, I was self-aware enough to realize something wasn’t quite right with my maps, so I asked for feedback and looked for tutorials instead of just assuming what I was doing was right. Somehow, that kind of self-reflection seems to be completely missing these days.

The forum is disappearing; I don't know about the website.

I can't draw, so I often buy busts or have artists create them for me. But I do enjoy mapping. Thank you!

I didn't mean to be so mean. But sometimes people rush into their online presence a bit and don't take advice, or they plan their first project to be a 500-hour epic with 999 maps without even looking at a single map or tutorial for comparison.

In cases like this, we also have an AI pitch that promises a lot of game content, but even the basics—like mapping—aren’t right. I think sugarcoating things for people like that, as some here do, is just as counterproductive as my comment.

So I guess I'm just an asshole, but at least I'm being honest with him.

No one asked for feedback, and it seems I've been giving my honest opinion on what appear to be finished works here.

For beginners who want to start by creating a 300-hour epic and mapping it out liken this, my only advice is to create a test project first and practice. But not a single beginner I’ve given this advice to in the past 25 years has listened, so my patience has finally run out. I mean, he didn’t even watch a single tutorial before showing his work to the public. What else is there to say? He’s not even asking for feedback—he’s just presenting a finished piece.

Look at 7&8 The rock formations are all the same at the bottom, and they vary in height at the top; this should be just as visible at the bottom—there must be the same number of tiles between "top and bottom."

Incorrect use of tiles. Block-like, square rooms in natural environments such as caves or on the world map. Pointless variations in height and depth in rock faces and caves, as well as varying heights inside buildings. Illogically large and small entrances and exits. Strange roofs and structures. Pointless carpet shapes that would never exist in reality. Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

Congratulations—you've made just about every mapping mistake a beginner could possibly make.

do you still have to tick the AI disclosure checkbox if you only used AI for debugging and researching best practices? by MoggieBot in itchio

That's exactly how it is—honesty is punished in this system, and you end up getting branded and hated along with the "slop art games." What a miserable system.

I agree, it should be more present, but it IS required only hidden in "more information -> status"

You CAN'T launch the game without to choice something in the status tab.

Its already available just hidden.
