Quinn's maps.

[Cyndadile]

Not necesarily RSE trees, but thinner, more compact trees. Also, the outline on the gym looks too dark.

[Quinn]

gym can be changed later, just as the labrynth. But I think I've got an idea for those trees. Though I dont think they would ook good up with the giant one. I think they should just be in the house area.

[ImmunityBow]

Another idea is to shift the whole idea entirely and make the river run straight through the city, cutting it in half. As long as the river runs North it doesn't matter how it's placed in the city. Then, you could run planks from tree level high above the river as a way to connect the two sections together. I really like the plank idea better than the way it was done in Fortree because it gives the city so much more depth.

[Cyndadile]

I think that's a good idea.

[Quinn]

I just made the mini one, but yah, I'll get 2 that one. It's the best of both.

[Quinn]

alright. Heres both ideas, with just the little lake, and the river. (the river's top, where the waterfall is, thats where somee of Mt Frost's water is meeting.

...I still think the pokecenter should be up on the bridges...but I think thats only me

So quick q, should it be possible to run on the bridges? In RSE, they weren't able to, but that can change...or it can stay.

[Cyndadile]

Liking #2, but I think some of the treehouses shoul cross over to the other side of the river.

And I was just going to mention how annoying the no-running-on-the-bridges thing was (I decided to visit the town in my Saphire version). We should definitly enable running. No biking, though.

[Quinn]

of course no biking. I think we have enough tree houses as well. There are 3 lower, and 4 higher. Thats 7 houses. This is a smaller town, so it shouldn't be populated like rabbits IMO.

[Cyndadile]

I was thinking move 1 or 2 treehouses across the river. Also, there should be a bridge (the water kind, not the treehouse ones) across the river about level with the gym.

I must add (again) though, I think that this might be one of the best towns ever.

[Quinn]

wouldn't the water bridge then defeat the purpose of the higher bridges? I could see about moving houses though, though it might not look pretty.

[Cyndadile]

If you add another platform with a ladder to the other side, that would be fine, too.

[Quinn]

draw what you mean, if you can in like 5 min, yah, I gotta log off in 5, so I'm biting my nails.

Anyways. those simple drawing thingies are actually really useful.

[Cyndadile]

Quickly copy&pasted, but something to this effect:

Added a swap of pokecenter and house.

[Quinn]

I actually think the center should stay. But other than that, yah, I'll do. Thanx a ton!

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

WHy is a grass type gym on rocks? It should be in the trees.

[Quinn]

its a hill. People dont want it up in the air, so he's just sitting there on the hill.

[Cyndadile]

Normally, though, the gym is around the center of town. It's like the main attraction, they wouldn't want that hidden in the trees.

EDIT: Or what Quinn said.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

its a hill. People dont want it up in the air, so he's just sitting there on the hill.

It's not a hill, hills have grass on top.

[Cyndadile]

Not all hills.

[Quinn]

it covers it mostly anyways.

I didn't get the map done last night, since I was trying to learn the animation editor, which kept giving me hell.

That being said, I was actually gonna ask, could we maybe have a vote for our mountain style? I noticed one is for keeping the FRLG sceme, knowing thats what we are using, but another is for having the rocky mountains, like in RSE. I could care either way, but its something I should know before moving on too much. I kinda think rocky terrean makes it more "rough"but I'm not so sure. I could care either way.

[Cyndadile]

I like the rocky terrain. But, can you encounter pokemon on it?

[Quinn]

Thats when I asked earlier about grass on rocky hills. I dont know, but I asked that anyways. I'm easing toward rocks, for the roughness, but then, again, we are using FRLG.

[neon.Barnacle]

Traditional FRLG style looks much nicer, imo.

[Quinn]

would it be safe to make a quick poll? I just dont know...

[SilentSentinel]

I'm liking FR/LG style for mountains and hills too. Also, I noticed a few errors. On the left side, there's some tile problems, and the top of one house is cut off. Also, the bridges going to the pokemart are messed up. They outta be moved down one space, or they just run into the side of the Mart.

[Quinn]

your talking about cyndadile's edit I think. that is just a quick map of what I should do, not the real deal. But yah, I'll make sure those aren't there when I post the latest.

[SilentSentinel]

Yeah, the thing on the left side isn't there in yours, but the bridges are still off.

[Quinn]

HOLLY SHIT! your right! I didn't notice that. I'll DEFINETLY change that.

is anybody for putting the center up there again, or is that just me?

[Cyndadile]

I liked it up there.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

I say the gym's better off up there.

[Quinn]

It wasn't the gym, it was the pokecenter. I think it would give more traffic up there. I wasn't able to do it again last night, lots of commotion, sorry. Today I'm going swimming, so it wont be up later either. I will PROMICE though it will be up by the 3rd. That being said, we should confirm this soon, tree and all. I dont want my new imageshack exploading with roothavens.

[Quinn]

I'm going to double post so this is in its own area. This is an attachment with updated tilesets. Stuff like the purple tree.

Also, what we have for the current headbutt tree, I dont think it would be our best bet. I found a better (shorter) tree. It is one tile big (yet again, shorter) but I found the animations, and it looks alot better. It would also be easier to know which tree your headbutting since they dont overlap like other trees can.

[neon.Barnacle]

It wasn't the gym, it was the pokecenter. I think it would give more traffic up there.

Again, herein lies the problem. You're artificially increasing walkway usage by deliberately placing the Pokemon Center in an inconvenient location. This is why I was all "go big or go bust" regarding the walkways. If they're not a dominant feature of the city (which they easily could be, given that the new river is perfect for this sort of thing), they're just being wasted on one corner of the map. Placing the Pokemon Center there won't solve anything, and might even make it worse in terms of functionality.

[Quinn]

its not inconvenion if we allow running. When I post an update with cyndadiles edit, the center could be up there. Or it could stay as is.

[neon.Barnacle]

Enabling running only alleviates it by so much. There's still no biking, and I doubt we'll enable running on the ladders. In fact, I notice that the plank the Pokemon Center was situated on has a direct ladder going down to the ground. If that's the case, why not just put the building on the ground right there? It'll be a lot more accessible.

[Quinn]

the pokecenter one? that one didn't touch the ground via ladder. Maybe in the sheet, though I can't remember. I'm just gonna finally say goodbye to the bridge pokecenter, and leave it by the river. It seems best I guess.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

I still say that (if any building!) the Gym should be the one above the trees.

[Quinn]

I'm not so sure about that. Like Neon said, we would be delibratly putting something up in an area where it would be tough to go back and forth. Fortree's is on the ground.

this is only temporary on my photobucket. Photobucket sometimes resiezes stuff, so yah. This will be up on my imageshack again. I'll say this, not as an order but as more as a prepare. I would like to do only 2 more edits at the most. I dont want my new imageshack bursting with roothavens.

anyways...here.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

*cough* *cough* I'm sorry, WHO was wanting to put a Pokemon Centre there to artifically increase traffic!? At least the gym'd fit there and if you don't white out you'd only need to visit once.

[Cyndadile]

I'm liking it.
