Been a while guys!! I call this map, “Darchlight Cove”. I wanted to go out my comfort zone and try a combination of 2-3 things and see how it worked out. I then added a few new things to give it that special “poof”. What do you guys think??
This map is showing the ability to create interesting new things in many ways, good job Goomy. Giving that adventurous vibe. Having a town was definitely my favorite part of this map.
Though, in my opinion, I think the detail was lacking a bit of creativity. You mostly used 3 trees and spammed it around the map, leaving two other trees (at the top) a less amount. The grass was another thing that was spammed, orange and green. If you look at tileset 7, you would find ash grass (gray-colored grass), that would totally blend in with the dark cliffs (you wanna enhance the vibe) more detail could have been added in this map (floating trees, cracks, you even could have used some tiles from tileset 4). Spamming it would just have been a lack of effort, not saying that the map is lacking effort at all! Other than that I believe you did such a great job. I would love to see more :!!:

Hey Vivu, thanks for responding!! I agree with the spamming, but I wanted to make the place as colorful as possible and Green/Orange go great together. I could’ve used other trees, but I wanted the top of the map to be somewhat special since that’s where the moon is. I tried to symbolize the moon as a beacon blocked by the darkness of the trees(which is why I have the dark trees near the moon). (Idk I be having the craziest ideas)
While I was mapping, I’ve considered adding the Ash Grass, but to me it looked a bit bland, so I tried to brighten up the dark cliff by adding a lot of vibrant colors (Green and Orange). I then made the puddles of stars to give it the feel of a mystical place, yanno? I wanted to give this map a place of mystery. For example, you’ve just arrived on a boat to a mysterious cove, full of stars. As you explore, you find empty houses and a moon blocked by the darkness of the trees. I wanted to give it a sense of adventure and pureness.
Thanks for the feeback and you never know, I might add some stuff to the map later on. I always find things I don’t like about the map and I adjust it.
Stay Gooey~
