dont waste your time.
Get a good gfx program, get good with gfx, and make something real. This is just stupid.

other than putting the image up to full size, your post isn't helpful at all, kaplowitz. give some feedback of why it won't work. spend some time on your post so that whoever it is directed to can spend the same amount of time thinking about it and implementing what you say.



Currently this map just doesn't work. Small maps are OK. Fictional maps are OK. They're even OK together.

At the moment though, you don't have the start of a map that looks like it will go somewhere. It has to have something unique about it. The gameplay isn't anything new. If people want to play a small map like this then there is already doodle earth. Some people might even say Duck and Cover is another small map to meet these needs.


I'd say you should go read the How to Make a Map thread (sticky in the main foundry forum). Take a look at the maps up for play on the site, the maps in final forge, and even the maps on the Development Atlas. Use this to get ideas to make this map unique. Also, if you read all the posts in those threads, it'll help you see what it takes to get a map through the whole process (it is a lot of work).

Another thing you can do is look at all the XML features available. Those can help add something unique to your map.


Specific to your map, even when a map is fictional, it has a story behind it. your map at the moment doesn't feel like it has a story. this can help you get a good theme going and add to your gameplay.
