Mapping in World Map, this also shows the transportation between islands. The fog of war can also be seen in the World Map screenshots.
Scripts:
I'm using the scripts listed below, some of them have been modified by me for compatibility in both bugs and gameplay.
All scripts are currently working perfectly together.
So far this is what I'll show you, I plan to post a short video next, and hopefully a Demo shortly. I welcome your critics and praises. I was also wondering if anyone in here has some experience with game storytelling. I think this is my biggest weakness.

The boats! Oh, the boats! I wanted to ride a boat in rpg maker that doesn't look like my 5 year old brother drew them, and here they are. Looks like you put a good deal of work into this game. And that world map made me cry. I hope you do great with the gameplay aspect of this as well because the graphics are superb - Although i don't like the main character's template choice, even though that may have been how you envisioned him to look like, I just don't like it. I can't wait for a demo.  ;D

Yes the boats are beautiful, they are part of the worldmap tileset by Inquisitor that I used I just edited them as character sprites, They worked out pretty well.  :D About the main character, I'm also not entirely convinced, but haven't found resources to convince me to change him. I just envision him as a young guy, around 18 or 19. As for the world map, its was the very first thing to be created, I just started mapping it without any idea what the game would be about. After creating this "world" I started thinking what could possibly happen in this place. This is how it all started.

Well, the game looks superb, I hope you're making progress with it. How will the combat work, I see the Fog of War, and you're using RTAB, but I also see a normal looking combat scene. Are they all fused in one? Because that would be very interesting to play out. Also, you mention the main character teaming up with his friend, will there be other characters that could join your party or maybe recruit-able mercenaries for use in battle?

I'm a big fan of the tileset! I also have it, and it made my whole mapping life better! By the way, what is RTAB?
