Mini Gamemaking Tutorial Series: Compact Mapping 1.0

Excellent! I've just read your Tutorial and I'm glad I did it! I never knew that 3 steps ingame are like 1 step irl.

Mapping is like building a home. The comparison may seem odd, but when you map those mountains and roads, is like you're building the walls, doors and thinking of the entrance to one room to another.

When you put those houses with the blue roof for example, its like your painting the walls and arranging the furniture in the kitchen and the other rooms.

When building a home the last thing we do after building the rooms, painting the walls and arranging the furniture, is decorating the home.

I will make everything how you've explained and I never thought of drawing lines in rmxp to make a town, a city or a route, I'm happy to know that now and make use of this tutorial! And I'm remembering: drawing from the center to the edges and then using that template to make towns, cities and playing around with depths and heights, asymmetry and everything you've said in this tutorial is for such a much help for beginners and newcomers. This will help me a great deal!

Thank you very much for this Tutorial! you saved my life!
