Make My City Not Bad

[Bobbus]

Seriously, this thing is a disgrace and I've no idea what else to add. Someone please help.

Its really not that bad… I guess you could make the walls more dynamic (have indents), and you could add some NPCs to make it have movement... If you are refering to something more specific, please tell me...

[Bobbus]

I am planning on having the map with NPCs on that top wall, that should make that less bland.

I'll also have NPCs thrown thoughout the whole map.  But, in my stupid opinion, I wanna have the map look full and lush without the use of NPCs. I want it to look good WITHOUT NPCs, so when the NPCs are put in it looks SEXY.

But, to answer your "specific" question, it just looks bland to me. I want more stuff to add in the bottom left section, specifically.

Thanks a lot for your input :D

Hmm..What about adding some benches?

[Bobbus]

Brilliant idea, compadre.

Edit 1 is up. Any other ideas? I feel like the upper right portion is now lacking.

[Monkey Boy]

It would make more sense if the bench was faced the other way  ;-d

[Bobbus]

I had it set up so the citizens of Whateverthatcityiscalledsdale could look at the fountain, but I could set it up as bench facing both ways.

[Aldur]

On the bottom left, the two tent roof things (not sure what they are called) remind me of a market place..So what about adding some boxes and barrels around them?

[SawQuart]

Add more tile variation (different color walkways). Right now its all one basic color.

[Bobbus]

I don't really think walkways are the issue. I want all of them to be the same color. The city only has 1 major theme in terms of color, anyway. Thanks for the ideas, though :D I'll try and add that in in other places!

I'll be sure to add some boxes to the tent-like-thingies, too.

[Dark Crusade]

It's all a bit too sparse. Make the houses bigger, throw in some crates and such, and fix the abnormally thin grass area.

[Bobbus]

Next edit up. I changed the grass part because it doesn't make any sense, then just threw in some other random boxes/barrels. Advice away please.

The well and the vase in the middle of the map don't look good. Maybe add a bigger fountain or some benches there. Add some small stores there. Like the ones on the sides with striped roof.

[Bobbus]

I was thinking the same thing. New edit is up. Post opinions please. I've got a remote feeling of satisfaction with it, but could still use more help.

[Dark Crusade]

Too many random roads, they seem very impractical, but I see improvement. =)

[Bobbus]

Oh crap lol, if you don't like the roads, then you'll kill me for this:

(Don't wanna post here, it's too big)

That obviously is the incomplete version, but it does have the current design of it (in the top left corner).

I mostly put it all together to see where I could fit buildings and stuff. What do you think of the overall size and pathway-plan that it has going?

Not even a city, that's a god damn outpost.

File name is "Haleshiresofar"

AKA: I'm not done with it. That grass on the south is going to become a city, too. Just wanted something to put there so the screenshot didn't look like TOTAL fail. Only a little fail. :P
