Description It's about time I submitted soemthing D:

This is Roccore City, the fourth city of my fake region and home to the third gym challenge against Axel, who specializes in Fighting-types.

The city is based on architecture from Rome and Venice, especially the crowded buildings and grid system. Oh, and the Coloseum and temple.

To the left is the Numerian Forum, a market, replacing a typical PokeMart. Based on the ancient Roman forums which is where all the business was done, so I thought it fit.

The center the Tiberian Piazza which is of course just a plaza of the city, with a fountain and the PC.

To the south in the Flavian Terrace is a library, which in my original idea for this region was a fairly important plot device as the evil team steals information on the regiona nd evolutionary science from the library.

At the north end, in the Aurelian Square, is the coloseum, which serves as the gym. My ide is that upon entering the gym, you first walk all the way up to the top row of seats and then travel down through the seat until you find a ramp that takes you into the arena. Axel watches you from a special seat as you battle two other trainers and then after you beat them he comes down to battle you. So, set up like the gladiator games.

On the right of the map is the Claudian Court. This features a temple which... well I haven't figured anyone or anything interesting to place here. Yeah. I was going to put a hedge maze in this area, but it seemed it would be too unnatural.

All of the names are from real Roman people. The "streets" connecting the different areas also have names (starting at the top going clockwise): Vespasian Way, Dionysian Way, Hadrian Way, and Apollonian Way.

Like the title says, this is still a WIP. I want to add street lamps, more benches, maybe extend the pavement into the north and south ends of the city.

If you have any crit, I'd appreciate it. I'd rather fix stuff now before its done.

Tiles made by me, based on various Black/White tiles. I'll (eventually) add these tiles to the tilesheet.

Make some buildings with different roofs. Everything looks too much alike with the vents on the top of every house.

I think it's too crowded.
Would be more interesting if there are more small streets and places between buildings for exploring but that's just my opinion.

Really awesome stuff there. But in some houses you could probably make windows closed with those green things ( don't know how are they called in english ) Because nobody is home all the time and have windows opened

Looks good, but the stadium seems a bit small and squished in. Maybe if it was bigger and you couldn't see the buildings surrounding it.

What specifically needs work? It's still a work in progress, so any crit for things that need to be fixed now would be greatly appreciated.

Midnitez-REMIX In reply to EpicDay [2011-07-11 01:34:43 +0000 UTC]

Well I'd say it needs lampposts, the area by the stadium needs work and some of the buildings don't need windows or doors on them. Other things too but I can't think of them right now.

Hydrargirium [2011-07-10 21:51:05 +0000 UTC]

That's lovely! Colors are amazing. And it does remind me Rome. I'm Italian, so i know. XD
By the way, i'd suggest you to make taller buildings somewhere, just to "break" that regularity the standard height gives. Put some street lamps too. :3

EpicDay In reply to Hydrargirium [2011-07-10 22:05:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And yeah, I've been playing with some street lamp designs, but I haven't gotten one that I think fits this city.

Its funny you mention the colors because I probably spent an hour easy mixing the colors and even now I still think its too much brown

I wondered if the buildings would get too repititive. I had thought about just another building design altogether, but I never gave much thought to the illusion of height either, so I'll play with that a little too. Maybe I can switch up some of the colors and make them a marble-color like the temple. Or would a darker, reddish-brown be better? (like the accent colors on the original buildings)

MS Paint. All of it in Paint. I know! DX I Mak eit hard on myself. I know most people some sort of mapping program but I'm not tech-savvy enough to import the tiles correctly.

Ha ha thanks. But I think the real credit goes to some kick-ass architects whose ideas I ripped... I mean I used as inspiration.
