I can sort of make simple wilderness maps (sort of) but cities/towns confuse me to no end. Where do I start? What do I do?? What goes where and why and what should it look like and (screaming)

What do people do when they make these maps?? Do you have an idea in mind, do you just wing it?? How do you know what it should look like??? When I try it everything is just an awful mess, awkwardly sized, boring, flat, with no rhyme or reason to anything. Specifically I mean modern maps, but old-school cities (not so much towns, though I do still struggle with old-school towns) confound me as well. I just want to know how people start, how they progress, I don't want tips like "put flowers everywhere!!! trust me just do it!!!!" I want to know more like, how do you plan the layout? How do you even come up with the plan for the layout??? Howdo mappi ng cities ????????? (more confused screaming)

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
