Description Update: I've taken the feedback from the comments, with the main complaint being that there was far too much black and gray before, and changed most of the palettes in the map. I tried many different colours for the outer walls which all looked wrong in someway, but I'm pretty sure I've finally got it right by just using a bunch of different colours for it.

The colour of the buildings is also now a much more natural and eye-pleasing dark brown. There's also a new building at the bottom right. Someone ages ago suggested I add a shrine to the city, and I finally have. I'd really like some feedback on it since I don't usually attempt to make such new buildings.

----------------------------------------
Here is Forthold City, for perhaps the 20th time... xD I've taken a lot of the advice that the map recived the first time I uploaded it, and have changed the paths to a more fitting paved style. I've also updated the colours of the walls and houses to be more fitting with what actual Japanese ones look like, as this map is based off a Japanese castle. What do you guys think?

And now about the new beginning part. For now I have stopped working on Pokémon XENOTIME, and am instead working on making a much smaller Pokémon game based around Forthold City. It'll have many different little sidequests and self contained stories within it, and be a whole lot more manageable than an entire Pokémon game is. It'll actually be possible to complete, is what I'm saying. I'm making no promises as to when this will be released, but I will be updating you all on it when there is progress. Thanks for reading!

If anyone wants the path tiles I've used, I'd be happy to send them them.

Where can I get the tileset from the pokemon center and the pokemon store? I design maps for a role group with Japanese themes

Sorry for my bad english.

There isn't, I'm afraid. I stopped working on the last beta for a couple of years, and then went back to it around six months ago. I realised that a lot of the things that I had included when I first started making the game—such as the entire story—just weren't good enough. So right now almost the whole game needs a complete rework, and until I've done that, there won't be able to be any new betas.

This is much better! I do agree with Monecranestpourri however, that there is far too much black, or grey, actually. I went ahead and played around with the colors in photoshop, and while this isn't 100% what I think you should go for, I do think that it's a start.

I think adding a brown wall to the inside would really accentuate everything else and make it feel a little less stark and lifeless. Also, possibly lightening the black on the buildings would make them fit in with the style you have. But other than that, the map is superb!

Thank you! Yeah, having a look at it again it is too black. On my phone you can barely see the details past the black, so my monitor may be making it appear lighter than it actually is.


Thanks for taking the time to edit it! The brown does make it a lot nicer looking, but as you said it isn't perfect. It's funny that when I finally get the paving right the rest needs fixing too. Here's one that I did, but I'm still not happy with it: oi58.tinypic.com/21f036g.jpg

I'm definitely going to continue editing it and fix those black buildings, so thanks for the feedback!

I think the black should turn to a more charcoal grey. Black just isn't a pretty color to look at most of the time. But that is definitely a major improvement!!
