Description
made using This kit Also my apologies to for not realizing that the kit was his ^.^;Well here's my rendition of the Orange Islands/Archipelago region i used the large map image from bulbapedia to get the basic shape of the islands down and the landmarks as reference for the different details. Overall this took about 3 days to make and it's the first spriting job I have EVER had to use gimp on. I sectioned off the map into 6 parts for my game, and have thought up some different ways for the character to travel around. This is going to be one of the secondary regions the players can explore along with the pokemon ranger regions. This will be explorable after completing one of the kanto or johto story lines and will be between the 2. I have also finished my version of the Hoen Region map in this same style and will be uploading it shortly. I will also be redoing the Kanto and Johto maps mainly because they seem to be an odd shape for pokemon essentials.

Would it be okay if I use this map for a fan game I'm planning on developing? If not, that's fine

Nice map, but it would be nice to have a link back here, as requested: [link]
I think the icons for your towns are a bit dark, and maybe you could try to add some more diverse terrain, with some brown for the mountains instead of just having the flat green everywhere.

Ah sorry for not posting a link I found the kit on google and the page it was on didn't mention anything about your link. ^.^;

Not to worry! Do you have a link to the site where you found it?

Not off hand but I do remember that it didn't have any of the text or dividers on it >w<

Do you have the image? I can reverse image search it.

to be honest i edited it a bit so even if you did reverse search it it wouldn't do any good XD

Can you link it anyway? I don't like people taking sprites without permission, so tracking down the odd thief is always a good thing. I'd really appreciate it.

ok its posted just send me a note or something when you get it downloaded so i can take it down and not be a thief XD

Weird. It's not getting any results. If you find the website where you found it again in the future, do let me know, but otherwise thanks for the help.

no problem but I don't see my self redownloading it, but thanks again for letting me use it, and sorry again for the mix up. Also as for your comment on about the flat green I have 1 simple reason why, it's because the Islands are flat in those areas. As strange as it may seem I've done my research and plan on making this as true to the regions as possible :3

I'm not suggesting you redownload, but if you happen to find it again, just link me if you can.
And well if they're flat why are there mountain icons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol those are areas that have higher elevations. and if you look closely you can see where the color gos up gradually, though if I may give 1 tip for your kit maybe make some smaller mountains than the ones in there? The ones you have now completely cover the higher elevation marks that I had put there. I used this as the reference for the island shapes, and for the height map, and this page to reference the locations, details and most importantly the route layout ^.^

If they have higher elevations, shouldn't they be brown like mountains? <_<
And I don't understand what you mean about smaller mountains. Do you mean icons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah the icons, but as for the higher elevations the mountain icons you made cover most of the marks I had made, except for small patches of the dark green that show the next stage up from the flat green ^.^;

What would a smaller mountain icon look like, though? o.o
You could afford to make the brown areas a little bigger, though, surely. You're allowed to slightly exaggerate them. I mean Pewter City isn't in a mountain, but it's drawn that way on the maps in HGSS.

hmmm well if you would allow it i can probably sprite a smaller mountain to show you using the ones you've made XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Those are ripped from HGSS so feel free; it's the ship, volcano, tower and ruins that are custom.

alright give me 2 seconds and ill upload them ^.^

What's the advantage of having smaller mountain icons, though? I mean they look fine but
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For sticklers like me that are obsessed about accuracy. XD I know it's a weird thing to have someone do but if you see them used in a map or 2 you might notice how much better the maps actually look ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Looking good has little to do with accuracy. I don't understand.

Well you'll just have to see what I'm talking about lol
I'll use them in one of the maps I make and then you might see what I'm talking about x3

I prefer to try to keep to the style as much as possible, and I don't think the big icons look bad or out of place, but yes, post some examples and I'll see what I think.

Well I just submitted 2 Almia maps to show you the difference. ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You've actually used the small ones on both. I don't think it looks better, however, as I think you're overusing the icons in the first place. They're meant to mark important features or locations, not to highlight every single piece of slightly high terrain.
However, that's a stylistic choice, so if you prefer it with lots of icons, that's up to you, and the smaller ones seem to work better for that, but I'll stick to using a few less.
I still think the blue you're using for towns is too dark.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well thanks for the feedback, I'll take the blue into consideration but I've kept it at the same level as the red so maybe it doesn't transfer well.

sure just tell me when you download it and ill take it down

Thanks, and wait until you see the rest of the stuff I've been working on ^.^
Also don't forget to watch me because I'm going to be coming out with more of these and a bunch of custom Tiles.
