Well, you do a fantastic job Moerit !
I really love the look of your maps, and the level of details is excellent. Not too cluttered, neither too blank ! I really don't regret helping set up your environment !

A few remarks still :
- The inside is WAAAY too big compared to the outside. The rule is 1 tile out, 2 tiles in, so a 4x2 outdoor house has 8x4 indoor floor tiles. However, I love your inside, so you should prolly make your outside bigger :P
- The cracks on the floor in the south-west part of houseleft don't look seamless, and let the user notice the tiles limit a bit too much, but that's quite minor.

Keep it up !

I have to agree, the inside map of the left of the house looks very colorful and vibrant, it might be a bit to much but I like it. Of course the size issue, but that is fixable. Good work and keep it up!
Take a stop by my game thread for some forum fun!!!

Yup, still too large. The rule (not the norm, the RULE), is multiply by two to get the number of floor tiles. Walls are not counted.
We really need to keep this consistent across all game content.

I really like the secondary house, it really looks good on the outdoor map. Looks like a (once ?) wealthy farm.

Finally made the size right:

So not "checks AT forums on an hourly basis" active but certainly active enough to pop in from time to time. ie., you may have to wait a few days.

+1 on the cave. Looks appropriate for something dark and evil to happen there (sacrificial alter? demon summoning?)
