It looks amazing, good job man!

Not the type of response I expected but thanks :) hopefully others will feel the same way.

That's nice. Can you perhaps upload an image with better quality (if that's possible) so we can have a better look at it?

nw2png ?

looks nice, but doesn't look practical. I can't imagine people really leaving the first 3-4 levels, and certainly doubt the players will spread out to the desert area. Another thing is that you didn't include parking for a good portion of the buildings. One of the things I really like about Era's new map is that more parking was added to make it more realistic.

I'll edit this post if I can think of some more suggestions.

Thanks, I do see people leaving the first 3-4 levels and venturing out into the desert as well. There a lot left unexplained but I suppose it will be explained eventually. I will upload a better image sometime today.

Players will never leave a select few levels, that's no reason to not make the world larger than 3-4 levels though. I don't know why people keep bringing that up. Not to mention the fact that players don't flock to the area because of its content, but because of other factors(that really has nothing to do with the content, but they just want to be around other players). That doesn't mean the other parts of the world did not at one point have a purpose to the player... there's just little reason to idle in it.

Sometimes you just want to take an idea from your head that consists of a large, detailed world, and make it.

I think it looks great, the beaches look like someone was messing with an etch n' sketch or something need to be a bit more rounded.

The beach is idk blah...I cba to keep messing with it, it always comes out looking weird on the map.

Try jutting out parts like a peninsula. Add some differences rather than trying to keeping it square with slight alterations.

i know that feel. :( just gotta keep practicing

Yeah, what crono said.. he's a VERY talented lat.. at least from what I've seen over the years..

Alot of times, it looks good up close, but on map it's odd.. next time you open graal, click on each of the servers and look at there map preview.. UN probably has a good example how to swirl the edges around and make it not so boxy..

Keep up the good work tho. Feel free to ask questions, and post more levels. We will try and help you out as much as we can.

Here are some updates to my gmap.

And I thought that driving into cliff walls was a bad thing. Silly me.
