Hey. I've pretty much been developing this solo for a while now. The map is pretty horrible:

[iniquitus]

If you already know it's horrible, why do you want us to rate it?

[iniquitus]

Maybe he/she wanted to come on the forums and say "LOOK AT ME! I'M RETARDED!"

lol. Add in towns, A LOT more detail, more curveyness to the coastlines, don't make it so maze like, nothing makes me more pissed off then spending a half hour wondering through mindless, boaring mazes that lead nowhere! UGH! Im mad now! I gotta break sumptin! *picks up TV and throws it out the window* Now look what u made me do!

But, that is the way it is because I have only spent 1% of my time on levels. The rest went into scripting, and GFX design. Here, that's a basic screen of somewhere around Ganthria:

Map's don't say anthing these days, they take 10min to make with the levelgen, and all look the same, unless you've made your map by hand, or done something unique with it, why show it?

You want us to rate you PW? Post screenshots, tell us what it's about, give us an example of what players will be able to do on your PW etc...

It's not the "ART" of level making or NPC scripting that makes a PW good, it's the creativity to it, and the quaility of it (e.g. do your NPC scripts WORK, when you walk through the door of a house do you end up where you expect to be in the next room, or 5 tiles away from the door... etc...)

Those small trees are stolen from a RPGMaker tileset, and the large ones are probably stolen too.

New Tree and Rock graphics are ok... nothing spectacular... The level in general is very plain and repititious, why does it exsist? is there a point to it? Even with new graphics not an attractive level. I'm not seeing any buildings, or these so-called NPC's that you speak of...

That map dosen't even represent the map that will exist when the server is done. You see, that 400 level map will be replaced by a 4096 level one pretty soon, and then I'll have to completely start over with level creation. I posted that map because that's the first thing people do when they're introducin their PW, they show the map. I agree that IT'S retarded, but I showed it for formal reasons only, I would never be stupid enough to call that my map.

Also, as to the rapid blaze, no, that level is just outside the main town of Ganthria. By NPCs, I was mainly referring to 'Job' NPCs, and the System Script which has features I am currently unwilling to discuss. I don't know of an RPGMaker, and have never used it. All the scripts work completely fine. That level is just an undeveloped peice of what will soon be town, so it just looks like a truly nature-specific forest. Almost all the levels are like this right now, but that's just because I haven't gotten around to creating anything for a level to hold.

[iniquitus]

LMAO!

4096 Level Map? Thats so cute.

I hate to break it to you, but your chances of EVER getting a playerworld are so slim you've hit exponential numbers (read 0.1e-4096% chance)

Formal thing? LOL.

Stop waisting everyones time and come back when you have something to show thats yours, and maybe even slightly impressive.

[Zolrieg]

just call it Treetopia and you may have something! christ, that's the only thing I see - trees. you could add some mountains, streams, or something. I'd never play a server like that, every level is practically the same.

[zallus-k]

Sigh... I know that there's nothing good about what I'm presenting to you, but I just did this to say that I'm starting a PW. I need a good team before anything you would rate well could be created. When I do get staff, which I hope to be soon, good things will start to be done.

Maze, uh... Beachbum, was it? Please elaborate on what you'd consider a good PW world map, as you are the only one who actually told me what exactly was wrong.

[iniquitus]

Staff? Most playerworlds are built up by one or two people until it gets online.

Why not polish up a good level from you PW, post a screenshot, and say "Hey! I'm working on a new playerworld! It's gonna be called <blah blah blah>; The PW will be <description>. I'm looking for people to help out with levels, graphics, npc's etc... if you want to help, and think you are good enough, PM me. Thanks."

Instead of posting an ugly map and saying "Rate my PW. My map is horrible."

Poor PR skills if you ask me (PR is a big part of running a PW btw.)

Urizen :o

[zallus-k]

Whoops! I pressed Alt+1 for that level! The shot was supposed to be Alt+2. Here, look at this, and flame if you want: (those trees didn't connect normally anyway, so I had to remove them.)

[iniquitus]

1.) You know how to set a bakpal, I'm impressed.

2.) You have a custom system NPC-- wow, doesn't everyone? What origional about yours? Personaly, I perfer the standard look, it's also less laggy.

3.) Your level looks very bad. The tiling looks horrible.

4.) Your "custome graphics" all look horrible aswell.

5.) Got any quests?

6) tile error :-\ just thought ud like to know..

[taz-graal]

Zal, stop while your ahead I beg of you.

[Psyker]

hey, stop bashing in your reviews!

(that's my job. )

[iniquitus]

Sorry Sometimes late at night I get delusional and think people actualy read what I type

All those images are from Rpg Maker, dont copy man.. its not so difficult draw them..
The map is not bad, I liked. but you could add some islands and mountains... its good for now, I think you will fix everything when u be doing the levels.. just dont copy the images..
^_^

[Frolic_RC2]

You shouldn't look for staff until you show you yourself are capable, and willing, of creating what you want done alone. Once you have set a standard for yourself and your PW then come to the forums looking for staff. Until then, I wouldn't suggest it...with the looks of your PW, you aren't even close yet, no offense.

[konidias]

He posts here with a picture of his map saying "Rate this PW" and then tells everyone he didn't want us to rate it, but that he was posting to tell people he was making a pw. Umm.. I think you should have titled it, "New playerworld - Yaria" not "Rate this PW - Yaria".

[Xbob42]

THAT PLAYERWORLD IS SEXY!


~Prince Dark

[Xbob42]

Also, isn't Yaria the name of the planet Vegeta and Nappa blew up just before they came to Earth?

~Prince Dark

[zallus-k]

Zero:

You speak of DBZ. Now you must die. No, the name isn't actually true to it's sound. That's just the closest phonetic translation of the name from japaneese.

And one more thing. Please, someone close all topics I have started, as I was very, very tired at the time of posting, and everything turned out very horribly. The server you saw before you had been only started a few days ago, and wasn't supposed to be shown in any state nearly as bad as this, but it was the only thing I could think of to do while waiting for my 4:00 AM phone call.
