I tried making a big city (Main city of game), but I don't really know what to do next...

As you can see I already did the ground and made the walls, added some houses (I see I forgot to finish one) but I'm kindof stuck on what to do next. Can somebody help me please?

Add flowers, grass, people, and trees to make your city look great. Good luck.

Besides what RKO said, I'd say it's too squarish. Smooth out those edges of the streets a little bit.

It would also be much easier if you condensed it.

For example

It would take the player a while just to walk around this square when all he's really interested in is the house. The area is so much bigger than the house, what are you going to decorate it with? It will also allow the player to see what's coming next. On that map, you won't know whats above or below you, unless you made the map of course :P

The first thing you need to do?

Make it three times smaller. Make a city seem big by limiting where the player can go, without showing walls except at entrances and exits.


Seriously. Way to big. You'll have a much easier time if it's a lot smaller. :3
