OK so post your screenshots from your game, or in the event layer. Then the next person rate the map out of 10, and then post your own.
(if you rate the map, you don't need to post a screenshot the next person just won't rate whats above him)
I'll start:

Here's mine, a 35x30 Mountain. Each cave opening leads to another, and the panorama is, of course, Mountain.

What i mean is: even if you think that your drawings aren't that good, people may come to like your style if it's used constantly in ALL the game. Like a simpsons game or something.
In my case, even if the 3D characters are somehow 'weird' to some, they get used to the overall style of the game because is only ONE style - so try NOT to use rtp objects if you're making your own art.

Nouman - Your canyon is excellently planned out. It looks solid, yet just arbitrary enough to be naturally designed.
Ericmor - I like the detail that you've put into your buildings. It gives it more of a personal feeling.
teabag - I think that your maps are amazing. The way that you stylized them is just unthinkable to me, in a good way. I would never be able to come up with something like that, let alone actually make it happen.
The rest are also very good, but these three stood out to me. Here's hoping you all stick with it, and don't let these projects die.

ZOMG! HaloOfTheSun is posting old screenshots from his game he had a year ago! Actually, this first map was scrapped afterwards, because the tileset wasn't as versatile as I needed it to be, but the rest were from the game, which I actually started working on again not too long ago....

Wow, I didn't know you were so good with RM. I like those maps especially. The others are pretty damn good too. It's really cool that you're working at a game again too.

It's a bit too square. It doesn't look natural. Make the walls and the grass have more randomness to them and then it will look nice.

10/10 I like it. Your glows shouldn't be behind the objects which are glowing though, and I think you need to add a space at the end of the name tag for that AMS. It goes over the border a little.
I don't like making towns very much, but I think this one turned out alright.

Very good sense of dimensions and elevation, pretty solid and comfortable-looking map. If I were to be picky, I'd probably do so with that some flat surfaces are too blank, but that's 'cause my personal preference is sorta clustered in the first place.

Nice map. It's a little empty, but it's a desert, so that kind of makes sense. Still, I'd think the oasis would have a little more greenery around it.
@Irgna: 8.5/10
Your use of wildlife is good, but I find that that map doesn't give any impression it continues in any direction, which is something I think is good to avoid when making outdoors areas. Simply put, it looks square and isn't well-defined. That might just be a personal preference of mine, but otherwise it is nice.
This map's not great. I'm not very good at interiors because I have problems filling space, so ... whatever. I made this probably about a year ago. I haven't been focusing very much on improving my old maps in my game because I am working on the action in the game right now. This probably won't be a map in my game without some major revisions, but I feel that I should post something, rather than just rating other people.

But what's with the trees in the water and on the beach?
This map's not great. I'm not very good at interiors because I have problems filling space, so ... whatever.
Heh... I have the same problem :D
Here's one I whipped up in about 15 mins

Revive!It's about time somebody used the "photo in the background" effect. That's really the secret to a good map. And when you move across the map, the background should move at a lower speed. That'll make it even more awesome.

Alright, well I haven't contributed to this thread for awhile, so I'll post this thing I made for my inventory demo. It's pretty bad, I spent alal of 5 minutes on it, but I'm tired of not having any maps to show. I especially don't like the ways the wall merges with the cliff. It would take a lot of work for me to put this in my game. Anyway:

So...there are a few mistakes I only noticed when I put them all to gather like that, so I'll have to finish and edit that!!!
Also, I bet you're looking at that one area with the cliff and no steps on the first map (the bottom one), well, I have a set of events there to make it a secret passage.

Try tinting the fog and the screen. Also, using SUB bleding with the fog may help, if you're not already doing that.

I think the accumulative effect looks pretty good, but I felt it would be good to get some feedback.

Also, Black Shadow, in the office map, you have a carpet error, you should put the auto tile up closer to the wall. (Unless you wanted it that way?)

E.g. this is also a cliff/peak, but since things are scattered randomly it feels a bit more natural:

You also need to use shadow properly, without eye candy, all of your errors pop out.

You need to either add morewhich would be just what I said :)
There isn't a lot in the way of shadow tiles in those maps, if you mean shadows cast from the cliffs - or I'm just not recognizing the correct tiles.

I was probably paying too much attention to making different "levels" and filling up all the chasms. Still have a lot to learn about adding all the little details. And there are definitely some spots there where I should have searched a bit for a more appropriate tile. Thanks for the feedback.

But it's animated, so screenshot can't really capture that much. Here's a bad quality video to get a feel of what it's actually like in-game if possible:

A nearly completed ACDC town, using a tileset I have spent all day making. -________-
If it seems empty that's because...well, it is. I need room for special events and the like.
Also, it's based off of this map:
http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/files/EXE/EXE5/Maps/Real%20World/ACDC_tob.gif
I was going for authenticity over all else, so yeah. :D
Eventually the place will have cars driving around and people walking up and down the sidewalk. There's one more house to be made, and it's going to go right under that pink squirrel statue. I also have to plant a few more trees, though that's harder than you might suspect considering my tileset. Here's hoping all goes well from here out!

What do you think?
Post by: Reives on October 28, 2007, 04:53:28 AM
For the exterior, there are a lot of empty spaces as well - perhaps you can manipulate the fences so they have some odd shape that fits into some of the spaces. And try to break that hill from being shaped as a square, to look more natural. More details, before things get clustered, is always good.

So, graphics are "custom", (make with CharacterMaker 1999, a pixel-art program) and it's the first map of my game. As you can see, the theme of my game is piracy. ;D

Hi everyone,Well, the graphics sure do look original, and I really like originality. But, i can't rate, since I don't know the capabilities of the tileset you are using.

Still not good enought. It's still to empty. You need to add either more houses, or more plants and trees.

As you can see, you have to be touched by the enemy to start a battle. This is just an example.

After that, the screen will be tinted, and after 4 frames, the battle will start on the battle map. This is the one for Town.

@BS: Yeah, super symmetry. It might be alright, depending on what that cave is supposed to be though. It does look like there has been a lot of human interaction with the cave. It would be feasible for a religion or something to choose the cave because it was so symmetrical and stuff.

It looks good, but maybe a little too random for a man-made structure.Actually, it's a pretty symmetrical room. It's just in the shape of an octagon.
Post by: modern algebra on December 06, 2007, 09:01:29 PM
Also, the sides aren't of even length and even the two lower diagonal sides are not symmetrical. The map does have good space management, but if he wanted to make an octagon, it makes more sense to use the walls from the Tower tileset, since they have a smooth diagonal. The regular roof is too jagged to make a shape like that work, at least for me.

They are just trying to help you; be more modest. :) I too agree with the gold - it's one of those "putting things in there just so it looks better" kinda things that just doesn't make any sense. I do recommend you removing them if it is a prison as well.
(Unless, of course, the prisoners have some sort of twisted gold-touching fetish, and they placed the gold right infront of the cell so they can touch it allllll day long. D: No wonder our tax revenue disappeared so fast. )
I personally find the fog to be a little awkward in such a confined space as well, but you might need it for something, so I don't know. Otherwise, it looks decent.
@Black Shadow:
Hahah, I like that hole-in-the-wall effect. Not much to say, looks good - but I'm assuming that giant pixel-y rat is just a placeholder?

The red line is what I'm talking about.
The blue like looks oddball, you never really see that all that much in games, I see what you're going for, but it just looks weird.
And above it, the second set of hills, above the cliffs, I'm not sure, but y reversing them, it might look better, but that's just me; it's your game.

As previously mentioned, the middle part's too squarely; but I like the details other-wise. Just fix up the general template shapes and you have a good start. :)

The map is quite squarely and unnaturally square. It's a start, but the mapping tutorials in the tutorial section should help a great deal. :) Also, there're bridge tiles that can be used instead of that grass tile over-water near the mid-bottom.

The land's still quite rough, but the concept's there:

It might also be easier to just use the pic-over-box function with normal bottom message-boxes; since there is a picture, the player'd know which character is talking anyway. :>

Wow Dertt & HolyQuebec! I could see both of them in games that I would buy. I love the hilltop overlooking one. My only concern would be the fog (maybe a little too opaque), but it all depends on the story line. The next one is also fantastic. I love the use of dramatic lighting in that. It sets the tone nicely. HolyQuebec, while I'm not too familiar with that RPG maker, I have to say that the map looks the entrance to trouble :) It sort of exudes an ominous err to it or should I say an entrance to some nice challenges!
heyey thx a lot xD. I only need to add animals and sunshines and i'm done. my partner is doing the sunshines atm ;p
actually,i wanted an effect of peace. it doesn't look like trouble to me,it's just an entrance to an altar lol <.< it's gonna be a 1-2 map dungeon nothing big.

Is that beach tileset one of the RTP ones?
Post by: maia on January 01, 2008, 04:06:13 PM
9/10, the whole lot. Some of those are goddamn HUGE.
Some are huge, luckily there are warp points around towns. They are huge, cause towns have to be populated. As for the rest of the huge maps, people always complained about my maps being too straight forward. There are still straight forward maps, but they are not pictured here :-)
So why 9/10 What would bump it up to 10/10?
I love the beach one, just looks awesome, and the fire and earth cave.
Is that beach tileset one of the RTP ones?
The beach is the RTP yes. I love the beach one too. That particular port has no guards, so it is a safe haven for criminals, pirates and sailors. Caves are my faves to do. The fire cave is for the "thrilling oni chase," it is such a great cave, very branching. The Mirro Cave only has one real way, but it looks like there are lots of ways to go. It winds in a big long snake pattern.

Having a tip is like the ship only has to push 1 meter of water... having a square front means that it has to push 15 meters of water instead of the 1.
Post by: The Shadow on January 08, 2008, 09:53:23 AM
Things that fly and things that float are built specifically to move forward and point the direction that they need to go. In other words your ship is not designed to point with a tip in the direction it will go. Notice how a missile has a tip and an aeroplane has a tip as well? Ships have tips to cut through the water making them hydrodynamic. So they cut through the water instead of shoveling through the water.
Having a point will split the water to the left and right, allowing for less resistance from the water.

In the other end of the ship, but you can't see it. Maybe I should move those things to the tip instead.

I kinda like mode07 personally, but the current scripts for it are too unstable to be persistently used. It's somewhat of a refreshing effect, although bad mappings kinda ruins it (speaking in general, not at anything specific).
I'm not saying that mode7 is bad, I like it in world maps, but in the interior it doesn't look right, it's too grainy.
Hard to give feedback on maps we can only see at, like, 1/10th the zoom, but the layout looks fine. 7/10, you should throw something in the water, lillypads, or something.

@Maia:
I like the sense of elevation in that mountain map. :> I'd suggest adding some variety to the trees, or perhaps simply recolouring some of them to have a little variety as the elevation increases to signify altitude.
@Falcon:
Ah, yeah I see what you mean. There's also that screen-tearing effect that is quite annoy.
(When I first came across the script I thought the style looked like old school Runescape, hahah.)

I personly think that the grass should be on the ground only, but I don't see any errors when you have it on the water :P . The water and the grass match together, but I think it's wrong.
Agreed, but there aren't many options for water. Someone should make an addon for stuff that goes in the water.

Since the cave opening is fairly high, you can see all the way to the far end border of the cave, and it feels a bit "hollow", if ya know what I'mean.

Erm, you don't see leaves connected across a long distance from one tree to another, forming a long bridge of leaves.Actually ya do, and the word for it is "canopy". :)
I certainly know what ya guys mean though, but it's just one of the awkward styles that I am staying with for now, much like the worse case of horizon grass, heheh.

Big maps... beware.
These map shots were taken a few weeks ago (at the time the maps were taken of Preson Pass). Since then things have been upgraded to be more detailed, but if they are not good, feel free to comment on them. Plus by taking early map shots it will not disrupt people's play of the game from knowing where everything is.

Here's another screenshot of the Titles Menu in my game, inspired by the Tales series. It is also where you see the class and class experience. There are a few things I am concerned about, but this is close enough to as far as I will get. I am worried about the lack of pictures and icons though. It might look a little bland. Maybe I will assign icons to statistics and skills though - that might make it more interesting. Anyway, comments?

Yeah, the descriptions were just thrown together to test appropriate string length. I am experimenting with boxing it and seeing how that works currently. And I would usse a bar for exp but there is no levelling in my game, you up stats by spending experience points training. The system may not work out in the end, but that is the idea I am working off of currently. Thanks for the comments :)
Also, that map looks great Falcon. Of course, I would not expect any less from you :lol:

Added boxes around the descriptions. Better? or worse?

@Becky, your map is too small to see anything, but there is a lot of empty space from what I can see. I would cut out everything under the last house unless there is some reason for the player to walk down there, and I would try to fill up some space with plants, grass, etc...

Your screenshot looks good, but boxy. Boxy tends to be seen as a negative. Of course RPG VX as a whole is very boxy. The detail is quite good :-)

All these nice RPG's people are making... mine just looks so simple and bland... no matter how much I read, figure out, etc the script system....I don't understand it...
I have tried everything, every single forum in this world and I still don't know or understand how can I personalize my menu, stat, equip windows... and I still don't know how to personalize my message windows.... as you can see I have absolutely no programming background.. >.>
I wish my RPG was as cool as all of yours... especialy Shadow-san and nouman-san Gawd those RPG's seem fantastic~ O_O....Since my RPG will have a bland and plain setting I guess all I can do is try to figure a great story that way it won't look as bad.... hehehehe
but have you guys noticed something?, many people post the coolest sprites you can ever imagine... but you can never find the battlers to go with them... I guess I'll just use them as NPC's eh?
but in any case... great job guys... I'll probably not post my screen shot since its so...well... basic? xD

Some new map as an addition to an old place:

East Korbin Mountains or whatnot.

yeah, I think the fog looks really good on that map. Very nice lighting effect
And screenshot:

The E circle is kind of ugly. I am trying to display that something is equipped without highlighting it with the ugly selection cursor. That's obviously not the color to do it with, but do you guys think the idea is salvageable with a different colour or anything?
I think it would work, either way with that color or with a different color i think it looks top notch.
Oh gawd I like sooooo want that CMS~!!
I'm probably not in the exact place but can anyone direct me to your CMS data base?, please don't get me wrong is just that I've been looking for it by myself for 40 minutes now and I can't find it... I did find 2 CMS' but they only allow 2 party members on it... so I'm pretty screwed there; Iwould like to find a not too fancy one all I want is to put instead of the sprite a char face.. and maybe the battle pic on the stat window that would be cool right?.
but in any case I think Cowking-san's mountain map is the coolest, very fit for a ABS don't you think? xD
Post by: modern algebra on March 18, 2008, 07:16:04 AM
@Klarth - CMS database? I've not actually made any CMSes, except for one that I made a long time ago for fadark. CMSes aren't really kept in any special way on this forum though. I think Rune has a few out (check the Script Shop in RMXP Script Requests) - also Falcon used to have a CMS shop and so maybe there are some in that thread.
Your request is actually pretty simple; I am sure there is a face one out there somewhere, though not at RMRK I don't think.

From that zoom, it looks quite good. :> That's an interesting design as well, how the houses are located around the woods in a circle.

And yeah, MagicNinja - it's hard to tell from that far out, but it looks good from what I can see. There's some great variance in the houses - not easy to accomplish with VX tilesets. It looks like you are using some custom roof tiles, which are definitely useful for VX.

This looks great! Very realistic, but maybe too big for RPGM VX. Hopefully sprint will be enabled!
Post by: MagicNinja on March 24, 2008, 10:52:14 PM
I thought the only thing that cause lag though was events. Not the size of the map.
But I learned something! WOOO!!!!!
Anyways, I split the map into 3 separate parts and now the little bit of lag I had is completely eliminated.
I took everything you all had to say into account and it BETTER!

Looking good; the only thing is that I think for the last map, the empty grass spots should be covered with the tall-grass tiles instead, which looks a lot more occupied than the normal ground tiles. :)
This is a little old, but I was testing out the screen-capture script earlier and thought I might as well as post it. Note however, that due to the script, there are some errors with priority/placement of character events on the map. Errors such as the guy behind the hut on-top, cat-on-the-head, crate top, and bridge tile errors are due to that, since they were character events.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.quintessence-tbv.com%2Fimages%2Fclick.jpg&hash=563abf57f26d3238c3a85dd5d460d0f8791384de) (http://www.quintessence-tbv.com/images/Egm.jpg)

Yeah, I've been looking at that cliff too and it looks like it's not on the correct level. The cliff there has a level base, so that it looks like it continues directly from the level on the left, even though the level on the left should be two squares higher.
Yeah, that's it! Thanks for noticing and explaining it. :)

Actually, I really like the way you're going with that. It also reminds me much of how I mapped with that set in Aeria, heheh. There are some empty spaces there, but I'm pretty sure it's because that it is still work in progress. Looks organized like a city is supposed to, and the recolours of roofs add a nice touch. So far, looks great. :)

Yes, the map is still a bit empty but I know your still in work with it. Also I like the recolors of the roofs.

Post by: Arwym on June 01, 2008, 08:17:26 AM
"Oh, Father, oh, Father... Why have you abandoned me?"
"Oh, Padre, oh, Padre... ¿Por qué me habéis abandonado?"
(The accutes (acentos ortográficos) are missing; as well as the capitalized "Father" or "Padre", if it truly is a biblical reference. Otherwise, it depends.)
And in a previous screenshot that you posted (your post previous to the last in this thread), you used "your" when it should have been "you're" or "you are".
Just pointing those out before it's too late. I know that you realized the "abandon" part already, but still. ^^; I hope you don't mind.

Post by: Reives on June 07, 2008, 09:22:07 PM
Looking very nice and clean! c: Only thing that bothers me a bit is that it feels as if the carpet in the bedroom should extend one square down (under the wall), but I'm not sure if the mapping system allows that.
Post by: modern algebra on June 08, 2008, 02:47:14 AM
@Reives - yeah, I haven't found a way to trick the system yet. If it were XP I'd use layers, but no such luck. You can't even break an autotile into components in VX :( Go figure. The best I can do so far is hold down shift when placing the wall tile - it works, but it has no edges. I'm going to keep trying. Of course, you also can't walk underneath roof tiles in VX, so the implied space is even less implied. But, I am using it for the bed and the crates, so either I will shrink the carpet by one square to the left, right and top, which would imply the carpet is centred with a one tile rim, or I will keep the weird looking roof.
EDIT:: Here, which one looks better to you? I forgot the bed in the large carpet one, but just imagine it is there.

I'm loving the new shots. Only errors I can see is that in the last shot, the walls appear to raise a little, not sure how to explain it. Where the floor meets the wall, the wall raises two squares, but a little further up, it raises three.
Other error is in the second shot, one of the walls just doesn't look right. I don't suppose that's an error though, just your style. Up to you. ;)

Soo many "Ahhh" moments x3
Korbin Village looks beautiful, but, the bridge sorta looks, ermm, weird thou, seen as it sorta takes more ground than water that is.
But, other than that, nice tileset ;3

The rounded autotile looks pretty good, but yeah there are couple corners on it that get caught. It also look a little weird when you have a straight side that it bumps up and down like that - I'd suggest that you mix the two up when you use them in a real map.
The location screen looks awesome.

I'm also not crazy about the fonts for the numbers in the upper right, and the action description on the bottom of the screen. I think you'd be a lot better off using the font you used for "Adrenaline" and "Life" throughout; it would make the screen much neater, crisper, and easier to read (especially those numbers, they're tough to pick up at first glance).

As do I...
just desaturate the wolves a bit, 35% or so would do.
Also, I agree with this. De-saturation would help a lot.

I'll agree with DeathLock on your first map. It appears a little empty. The second map I think is too symmetrical for such a place. The third map is really nice after you fix both mapping errors :P . I'm not sure which one I'm not supposed to mention ;9.Both obviously :p
I think it's definitely an improvement from your last shot. I think they could still stand some de-saturation though.They're base from the screeny below

I'll agree with her, Revo. I think you have just a little too much going on in there. I like where you're going though. Good to see that a statue is broken, the rubble next to it is the key there giving a hint as to where the statue is now that it's busted up.

Post by: The Shadow on September 02, 2008, 02:57:40 PM

The world will not turn into one big desert. But since wind is needed to blow clouds somewhere and if the clouds wont get there it wont rain. Then plants will die and rivers wil vanish. And voila you have a desert like enviorment. Not a real desert since it is not sandy and stuff, but a dry place where nothing grows.

Post by: Falcon on September 14, 2008, 11:56:23 PM
You should work more on mountains, check mountain tutorials, they make any map look much better.
You're relying too much on autotiles to fill space, use more tiles.

Nice JJ, your maps still need work, but they don't look hideous :P

@jj: the cliff stuff is really linear, try making it more jagged and random :)

the numbers of lights up top as has been lowered by 2 already :P
I'm testing the template I'm going to be using for CF with this, so give me feed back on that XD It's basically Grandeth Adv combined with a more anime like look and coloring style
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi180.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fx268%2Fmonkeydlu%2Fne%2520album%2Fcfscreen-11.png&hash=ad54ed7c674a4242986171900db8db0dbae4a58d)
The doors has been upped a bit to fit the template, but I think everything else fits nicely, since grandeth adv was original made to fit the rtp.
btw, the sprite itself :P
Spoiler for:
edit-
I might also be looking into trying my hand at cosmetic lighting in the near future, but Idk, it should be nice though.

Love the data-mech effect ya got going there; seems to work very well in that map.
@Shadow:
Nice and clean, very easy on the eyes. I like what you did with the plants on the houses, although some of the thick ones feel a little awkward - almost looks like mini horizontal canopies instead of vertical climbs.
@JJ:
Very fitting tint; the greyscale makes the atmosphere quite effective. If there's one thing I'd suggest, it is to extend the platform just one square left-ward on the Northern part where the house seems to be aligned with the platform (which can't be seen) - it might feel more concrete that way. c:

Also, are you phylomortis? I remember playing a game way back where you're an ambassador or something at a party and people attack - anyway it was fun and I think made by phylomortis.
Anyway:
I think it strange that there is a plant in the midst of what looks like some lava pit of doom. I don't know if I like the one level of gradation - but I think it works for that map if it's inside a volcano or something as I would assume.
I also like the font you are using a lot.

I chose the green flora because it's a strong contrast. The map is part of an entrance to the "real world" (not OUR world, but a real fantasy world) from a sort of limbo. I felt that the contrast fits due to the chaotic nature of being not-real! The mapping style might be off-putting at first, but the entire game is done (well, going to be done since it isn't complete :< ) in that sort-of side-view style.
The font is Qlassik Medium and can be found for free at [every font site ever], if you're interested.

The mapping is lacking a lot. Just because you need emptiness doesn't mean you can't put some stuff in the background.
Yeah, it's still a work in progress. Combo of me not being that great of a mapper and working with RMVX tilesets makes it tough. Any suggestions as to what exactly to add to the maps?

ABS guy: That lava pit fight upsets me. Try something more like this:

I don't have a lava parallax so I used a tile other than the wire, but you get the idea. Add stuff AROUND THE FIELD and make the battle area less perfectly symmetrical. The player has plenty of room on this sample map. Some things make sense to so right-angled: the tower is fine, but maybe you could add some turrets on the side? That icy place could use a few cracks and juts.

lol, I have now been dubbed the ABS guy. Well, while your example map certainly is a lot less empty, that sort of randomness and extra stuff looks horrid to me. This is a man-made arena suspended over a lake of lava, thus it is supposed to be symetrical and more mechanical than natural (IE, no random rocks in the lava). Also, that's not a paralax, it's just the lava tileset.
The platform can be natural, but the lava rocks shouldn't be, man may be able to suspend a platform over the lava, but they shouldn't be able to control everything that goes into the lava itself.

Other from that, much better then the old one. But I don't like that some parts of the cliffs are symmetrical. Maybe do some variation on them aswell?

Another thing is, "one-cube cliffs" like the one near to the left of the signpost doesn't look very good.
One my maps at least, I'll use two instead of one as a minimum. It makes the cliff wall look overcomplicated.
But other than that, an impressive map overall. :D
Post by: Irock on December 19, 2008, 07:30:14 AM
I made the map ages ago, and I probably posted it before, but I made it seem less empty and more alive by adding things.
The woods are so dense because it's a town deep in the woods.
Also note how every butterfly is facing up. They did that on their own, as I set them to random.

Interesting map, the trees kind of clog everything up, but solid ;8
a good technique for creating the illusion of a deeply forested area is to use a leafy layer overtop everything, many maps include a tile that appear to be the top of a tree or perhaps a bush, splay that around the edges of your map and all of a sudden your hero is surrounded @_@. another, considerably annoying alternative to this is to use a translucent shadow of leaves, but this is annoying, it's hard to see unless you play it right .-.

Thanks for the criticism. Although, I wasn't really going for a thick forest look. Mainly just a mountainous region. Although, I might try those things later and see if I can get it to look a bit better.

It's also only been three hours. If it is stolen, it's not plagiarism, as he is not claiming to have made the tileset. It's also not anything I would take action on, since he is not sharing the tileset.
@NAM - an open game?
gametap is a pay-to-download service.
as in you pay a monthly fee, and download whatever games you want.
I doubt it's an open game
also: it'd be hypocritical to endorse SNES rips, but not RMXP rips, so I'm not going to say anything.

the steps to the doors look a bit weird, as they look like they are flat at the ends, but that's ok, it dosn't really notice, and isn't very avoidable, without using up more tiles 9/10 for accuracy.

Oh oh, don't forget as well to maybe include more stumps than trees inside the fenced area. It has been developed by people and people usually cut down trees to make way for stuff. Also, including rows of people placed plants wouldn't hurt since people tend to be linear.

Point taken. And kinda implemented in this one. However, the tree stumps look kinda stupid as it's a different kind of tree. My opinion anyway. Is this one an improvement? (It's a different place from the other one)Spoiler for:
That one looks like a bit of an improvement. If anything, I would say there are too many trees (Even for a town like that), especially outside the walls. Maybe try getting rid of a few of those and make it look a tad more random?
I could be wrong, though. But seeing that many organized palm trees looks a little off for desert area. Even then, you may only notice that when it's zoomed out like that. Ok, I'm rambling. I'll stop :P

Whoa, also your paths are freakin me out mannn. When you put it over the water, to fix it a bit, use the impassable left sided shadow tile on the ride side of the bridge. That way it gives the illusion that it's more like a bridge over the water.

Whoa, also your paths are freakin me out mannn. When you put it over the water, to fix it a bit, use the impassable left sided shadow tile on the ride side of the bridge. That way it gives the illusion that it's more like a bridge over the water.
Oh! Good idea!
Yeah perhaps you are right about all the palm trees, however on the world map it's completly surrounded by them so I thougt it might be appropriate. I'll see what I can do :). You can expect another one of my maps (not being from the desert) before xmas ;D lol

I'm glad to hear that you're interested. It'd be nice to finally see one of my scripts in a finished project :)
@Caro - I like it a lot - very nice. The top bridge looks weird - I think it's supposed to be a full bridge that is ruined, but it ends up looking like two separate walkways, or maybe a mapping error where you forgot to put the middle part in

Correct. The test also decide if you turn Good, Evil or neutral. This will effect your character and class.
Here's an exampel of 3 of the cards in the test:

So, a friend of mine wanted me to make a map with this "awesome" new tileset he found (That I've seen before many times). So I did.
Spoiler for:
This tileset was horrible to work with. Nothing aligned correctly, I had to go and realign a lot of the wall pieces, and it still looks terrible. Also, there are about 3 things for this tileset except the walls, so I had to find some sprites to make it look halfway decent. It actually didn't originally have a diagonal /-like wall, so I had to go and flip the diagonal \-like wall and put it in. It made me so mad. :mad:
Also, I just realized one of the sprites' coat ended up transparent. :-X
And that dude in the blue sweater is some sort of computer hacker or something. Just because.

Some interesting stuff there, although i am at a loss as to what the pile of crap on the wall in the first screen is.
I don't know anyone who 'flicks' through a magazine, but i know a lot of people who 'flip' through one.
People who flick through magazines disgust me. that's an innocent magazine, and now it's scarred for life :mad:
nice dialect though :D

The menu is a custom system I made for party selection. It's map-based so it's hardly the most complex system ever, but it works fine.
The pictures are so small because I always F5 the game before taking them. I think it makes the screens look better, and it also stops the chain-screenshots (like the 4th one) being to large.

1; It's odd for a lot of debris to be on a trail. Perhaps a trail flanked by cliffs, that isn't traveled often?
2; Lily pads very rarely grow in streams, creaks, and rivers. They uproot in moving water, and can't plant themselves at the bottom of streams.
3; Autotiled tall grass is a sin :-\
Edit:
Since I suck at manipulating scripts, this is my improvised MP bar on-map.

It's all done with pictures, and variables to count the base % of an actor's MP remaining.
Looking for a second opinion of the little hud bit there is bearable. From my own tests, it doesn't interfere much, despite the animation.

indeed Kyle.
Your maps look great, i can't see any tiling errors, although when it comes to the pianist, the random carpet seems out of place: maybe make a small elevated area for the piano? the carpet doesn't look quite right in the first screenshot either, but it's not really a huge problem. it only nags weirdos like myself ;8
oh yes, and the piano is in scary proximity to the furnace or wood stove or whatever - OH NOES D=

Phase 1
Here you basically choose to fight, move or escape from the current battle.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg516.imageshack.us%2Fimg516%2F8154%2Ftdssodsgcbsphase1gm3.png&hash=f3cbae0fb9536c8e9e0243b494e2d582510f5bf5)
Phase 2
On this phase you choose to attack or use skills, maybe defend or simply just use an item.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg518.imageshack.us%2Fimg518%2F9002%2Ftdssodsgcbsphase2nn1.png&hash=737fe7bc34e1e45998872b473aac39d0bf171d64)
Skills & Items
The item window is very similar to the skill window so I saved on space and only will show the skill window. Here you choose which skills you will use.

Targetting
For targetting an X will appear below the active character marking them as active, but also a window so you can see who you are targetting.

What function does moving serve in your battle system? It didn't look like things needed to be beside each other to attack.

As for the icons, I've been slowly learning pixel art to try and make icons and characters be of the correct size instead of having a script stretch them, but so far I've been unable to successfully learn how to make good pixel art.
And as for the moving function since the enemies don't seem to move in the video at all because the battles were restarted too often which makes it seem unnecessary, but it work by making the battle system both tactical and a quick frontal battle system.
How it works it's very simple, depending from your distance away or towards the target the character attributes are enhanced. The closer you are to your opponent the harder you hit him, but in return he can hit you very hard too. And the farther you from your opponent the more likely attacks will miss or hit for less damage, Also being in the same line as your opponent increases the chance of critical hits.
You can also protect other characters by placing yourself in front of them to lower the damage they receive and also raise the enmity(hate) towards the character defending which makes it more likely for an enemy to keep attacking that character instead of the weaker ones.
The above is the same for enemies as they can move and protect each other.
There are many other factors involved in the movement during battle such as stamina, weather, fields, field hazards(traps), etc. These factors add some depths to battles, but are not completely mandatory to use since there is no need to move next to the opponent to attack, making the battle work both as a normal turn battle system and adding some tactical aspects for people who want some more complexity during battle. And of course using the tactical aspect will make battles far more easier and interesting than standing in the same spot attacking through the whole game.

@revo ~ nice map. Some of the spacing on the map is a little awkward - like on the left side of the map outside the fence there is not a bare spot. Also, given that this is a settled area, the prevalence of nature is a little awkward. And the clothesline is really far away from the house and inside a little wood. Every time you go to put up the clothes you have to or get water there's an obstacle course.
@Knight Rider - solid map, but I would put a little more gradation variance in the cliffs. I think it looks nice to throw in small ones that jut out ~ kind of like the one in the centre of madriel's map

It's divided in 3 parts, Weapons, Attributes and Abilities.
Weapons: Shows you the status of the characters weapon, since you only have one the whole game and upgrade it as you go along with a possible replacement late in the game.

Attributes : Shows normal character attributes.

Abilities: Since there's no equipment you are able to learn and level up abilities that enhance the character. This part of the status menus shows a list of the abilities the character has. A more detailed menu allows you to level them up and modify them.

You're right that it feels too "square-y". You just need to loosen it up a bit and add more than one layer of mountain.

Well, for the moment, fixed Modern World Tileset of Soul Reaver, testing the new School uniform characters. (Thus the lack of fog, NPCs & my favorite twiks)

I'm working on remaking the graphics for my RMVX RTP project. This is the first big area in the game. Then it's scripts that gives me some troubles, but I'll try to figure it out.

I'm keeping the familiar picture HUD, but with a little graphical improvement to it and your ammo count. Sorry, no more infinite ammo! This time you have to keep an eye out for spare ammo. You tap A to draw, S to fire (or to use a knife if you do not have your handgun drawn), and D to reload if you have enough bullets left in your inventory. Additionally, it'll be literally a much darker game, using the same light effect as in Shadows. I have a flashlight system itself set up so that you can only see the enemies right in front of you, but I need to adjust the size of it first.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2Fss-midnight2.png&hash=bec84d39716d563ca05a2cbda38c18a1e9954fea)
The room is very dark as you can see from the first picture, but the flare from firing your gun will give you a second of light. It will be useful for finding enemies in the darkness, if you have a few bullets to spare. Unlike the original Midnight, the health is not three-hits-and-gameover. It plays more like Resident Evil in as much as it'll take a few hits to drop your health percentage. Additionally, the HUD graphic changes more than just back color. The face will groan in pain when hit and become noticably weaker as his health grows closer to zero. The flashing HUD and the pace of his beating heart will warn you about his health level.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2Fss-midnight3.png&hash=b5e51bb342391ee53e8158ba7649b9bec857497a)
The game itself does not place in a mansion on Devil's Island, if you haven't already noticed. It takes place in a modern underground prison. The very feel of everything will be much more serious, much darker, and less corny (if I can help it). If you run out of bullets and still have the undead in your way, you are not completely screwed yet. This time around, you come equiped with a small combat knife, so even if you can not use your gun you are not completely defenseless. However, to use the knife, you'll have to get in close to them and risk them ripping your neck out.

Heh, I thought the number was your health, before I read the ammo part.

They're temporary this time while I work to turn all of the human RTP into zombies. I'm not a spriter, and I only touched up on a few of them in the original, so it'll take a little time.
Anyway, the walls of the first picture seem a bit too high, but I like all of the maps otherwise. :3

Post by: modern algebra on April 05, 2009, 07:51:47 AM
A) eliminate the status part of the bar and place the ammo somewhere on the face graphic.
B) Make the status bar decrease in size with HP loss so that it serves a function the changing face graphic doesn't
C) Just make it a little prettier, maybe by making it a gradient bar but not one that decreases, just have some gradation in colour in terms of height.
I've attached examples of what I mean below.
The maps look nice though!
@Ness - yeah, I agree with Zylos. I normally wouldn't go over 2 tiles high for an inside house, mostly because there's not enough things to put on the wall that won't make it look like a lot of empty space. Also, it looks bad because there is an imbalance in the wall that juts out. It's only two tiles high while the rest are three. Otherwise, they are nice. I love the facesets - very stylish.
@Caro - Beautiful map. I'm not crazy about the extra border for the water on the rightside, but I can see how it would look weird if it were absent, so I guess it's OK.

Also, from a perspective standpoint, it's logically impossible to see the water under the cliff at the bottom of the screenshot. I mean the cliff with the vertical bridge. You wouldn't see that. That water is about 3 tiles down while the top of the water under the horizontal bridge is like 12 tiles down. You would only see more cliff rather than water.
And I'll agree with Caro about the squares ;_;

I have the desired 'theme' of Tilesets to play for this Survival Horror Game, thou, I might put survival action game @__@
I can't decide on the color for the infected people, I had a change of mind, instead of making the use of 'Zombies', I rather took the path on basing the Enemies/Infected People on the 'Ganados' & 'Maijins' from the Resident Evil 4 & 5 itself.
Taking the path on using the rather 'steampunk' like scheme theme for the Atmosphere, as it fits the scenario for a rather gloomy village scenario. Along I'm using steampunk-characters made by Sithjester :3 They really fit the tilesets & atmosphere. *As the setting is based more on Resident Evil 4 itself* I thought of recoloring their skin but it is quite troublesome. The Screenshot is at nightime thou.

I know the grass floor isn't good for something like this, as it makes the houses stand out too much, thou, dunno what to use, didn't want to use the RTP's tiles themselves. Pardon the 'Dark Atmosphere' as it's suppose to be night in there. (Hoping to catch said feeling.) I'm quite troubled with that damn Fence, as parts of it seems to be at 'odds' and have to fix it a lot. I used those torches from the RTP even thou they blatantly stand out >__>;; but would make sence if there wasn't no electricity in said town which takes place. But still thinking what other source for a light in the night could work.

I was planning on also adding a few 'mountain' like, at least to give a bit of nature, but thinking wether to use the new 'Savanna' like tileset from Shadow or the Grass tile from Mack's.
The 'Ganados' (The little country men with hats and spanish/steampunk outfits) fit well with the colors, thou I still want to make their skin look like 'dirty' but the colors I used either makes them look too green, night-elvish, blue, too damn pale white, or a rather Yellow-ish weird color or an obvious use of Purple with dark colors which makes their heads stand out from their clothing <__<
Still working on the Tileset thou, it's sorta my top priority at the moment.

I'm quite troubled with that damn Fence, as parts of it seems to be at 'odds' and have to fix it a lot.
In either of your past 2 screenshots of this, it's better to place the back of the fence (that wraps around the front house) one or two tiles higher. The perspective is off. Close, but off. It gives the illusion that the house is tall and thin, whereas you tiled a house that's not as thin as it should appear. I also figure that you already thought that and (in most cases) it's safe to count the number of tiles the height of a front wall is, then if you were to put a fence around the back of the house to then count that same number of tiles down from the top edge of the roof. Like you did. However, since you have the house with that extra extension in the back center, it fools the eye into making the fence look really weird. So, basically... I'm just saying that might fix your fence problem.

There's a lot of empty space as well. Try filling it in with some small plants or bushes or just stuff you'd find outside in a town. You could throw a shadow under that bridge up north. You did good on mixing up the cliffs but try throwing some details on them other than that moss growing up on it. The buildings are really boring. Try doing what Maia said with that. They also don't have to be particularly square. There's a couple map errors in the lower left corner with the trees, also a tree error by the fence and cliff to the right, and a tree error by the cliff on the left. Speaking of trees, make them less square around the outline of the town. Bring them in and make it random, they're trees, nature is random and not full of 90 degree angles and stuff. The dirt/brown cliff you used might be a little strong. I don't know, it could be fine when other things are spruced up. Ya might even try using the bushy/green tile instead of that.
Also,
Hi Maia :)

Great map, but I have one suggestion: Islands. Usually FF maps have a bunch of little island chains, with nothing on them but occasionally a forest or something.
Oddly enough me and Tez thought the same thing. I just wanted to get the main thing done first, then add whatever else needs adding after it :)
But thats for the suggestion anyway :)

Residential section. Right now it's fairly cliche and repetitive, since each house looks exactly like the one you see here. North of here is the highschool, south of here is the business section, east of here is more houses and a border, and west of here is the main character's home.

I like your screen Kirby, everything looks good, and the screentone adds to the mood.
Some new screens from a new area in my game. The ice cave.
I have yet to think what else to add to the chipset, everything looks too... blue, but I can't think of anything else to use... I can't have plants because nothing can grow with so much cold and dark, any ideas?
Btw, you slip in the ice, so the big ice area is like a puzzle.

Still, you're doing a great job with your mapping in general. Maybe add a few more details to the big pile of ice in the second one just to fill up some space, perhaps? They don't have to have any significance to the puzzle, but it does look a tad better >.>

Need some opinions on a tileset edit. I decided to see if I could edit Mack's lava cave tiles (since I know I'll not be using them in OotM..walking next to lava in an enclosed space would either oast you alive or melt your lungs with the fumes). So..trying for a shale-ish cave with some kind of ore veins. Also added a little hole in the wall for streams of water to cut through.

I just noticed this, but you need to have tree stems under the top canopy. It looks like the branches are floating in mid air. ;o;

@maia mapsI I like the shapes of your dungeons. They turn out really good. They look creative. I like how you mix and match the different tiles together. I felt the first dungeon looked ugly though with the tiles you mixed, but the second one turned out really good.
@Karo Rushe map2 Another great map! You can really feel this place being alive and real with the amount of NPCs you placed on it.
@Irock Wow. That looks amazing! I really like the different types of flowers and bushes you have speeded onto that map. All those bright colours you used really add something to your game too.
@maia mapsII Well they're all very visible to me at least. I think those light effects really add something to your maps. You may want to try experimenting with some fog effects too and see how they turn out.
@Miles Castea latest map It's good, but the trees on the right side of the screen feel a little strange at the moment. Maybe if you moved one down a little and separated the other three it would look better. You may also want to add a few more flowers or rocks on the grassy areas. I really like the idea though. Still looks really good as it is.
It’s hard to find anything wrong with the maps on this thread! :P

Post by: joy on July 31, 2009, 05:17:20 AM
It can indeed be more staggered in the edges. Also, I'd lament less the lack of tall grass and more the lack of smaller trees, bushes and plants in general. Whenever there is a break in the forest canopy, all manner of greenery fights viciously (in plant terms) to try and gain as much height as fast as possible, eventually blocking out the sun to the ground again, grasses are actually rare on the forest floor of a jungle, it's vines, young trees and short lived flowering things. The key is making those gaps in the canopy small and full of life (I would like to fill the map with even more greenery, but this is all the patience I have at the moment). And above all else, random!
I also noticed I forgot to add some fourth layer canopy edge tiles..oh well..just a quick example map.

Place your trunks on layer two, and don't forget to use the alternate versions at times (the ones with underbrush). On layer three you can overlap some extra small plants, trees and vines.

And because of this (#)"&"#"%"@£ THEME, there was no slider.
so, nvm about my post.
Now that ive seen the WHOLE screen.
9/10
(there could have been more plants at the cliff walls, and acctually, a little more water,

Basically both actor selection and command selection are (optional) active at the same time, and so you can scroll through actors at any time to view their status with the left-right cursors and select commands with the up-down cursors.
The playtime, location, and gold windows are all optional, as is a steps window which I optionally removed because I think it's useless. Now all I'm working on is a custom command interface so that it is easy to add new scripts to be accessible from the command menu.

Now for the reason I am posting in a screenshot thread:
Anyone have any suggestions on any other optional windows to include?
Also, do you think the status window looks too cluttered? Any suggestions to reduce?

Legend of Zelda came to mind suddenly watching that screen Graf, as beautiful as it is, it can also be frustrating in a way >__>
I think Legend of Zelda whenever I use that fog. It's one of the XP RTP fogs, but still I can't help but feel like it's a copy of or extremely similar to the forest where you grab the master sword. However, I quickly lost the feeling after I started using it more often. Soon, I'll be replacing all these fogs with my own, but they work fine for show pieces and what-not. Though it goes without saying, the game will have nothing to do with any Zelda game unless for whatever reason I throw in some odd easter egg about it.

-I don't like it that the king has two of the exact same 'soldiers'.
-You could create a perfect lightning effect for this: Spots on the king, a little dark, nice lights on the torches... Are you going to put those in?
-Theres two crystals in there, crystals are valuable. Don't you think that greedy king already

As far as Crystals go, the bandit might be greedy and have all those crystals hidden for himself, but then again, do they posses the tools to remove them in the first place? Is it that valuable for them to sell? Or simply it's there since it can also help to make Light Travel (Sorta like Mirrors), etc.?
And those Bandit Guards (althou I'm finding those hooded thiefs a bit annoying from seen them on like, every RPG game that uses them) Kinda gives that 'Mysterious, Evil, Secret, Sneaky and Ambitious' atmosphere around their Leader.
Details are good and all, but comes the question: Wouldn't he prefer to be in a little bit more 'Fancier' room, I mean, I understand it been in a Cave, but, kinda makes me think he should be having a bit more to show how ambitious of a Bandit Leader he is, and have some sort of 'symbolic' Item, be it a Sword hanging, or emblem that shows he has the authority & prove of him having fought for such and no one would dare to question his Authority.
But, that's just my opinion .___.;;

I am wondering about the efficiency of a good screen shot and a good game. Sure a lot of these look fantastic, but if it takes you hours to perfect a single screen, what about your games? Is each area detailed to beautiful perfection? Are there small areas or large ones?The map I've shown in the past three screenshots is 100x90. I try to perfect every tile.
These are questions I want to know.
I prefer games that are short and detailed, rather than thrown together and long. Not just detailed in mapping, but in dialogue and maps for every building. Plus, screenshots really drag people to your game.
@IrockThank you. All you have to do is practice and believe in yourself.
Your map looks great. I wish I had your skills. Good job.

Post by: modern algebra on September 06, 2009, 04:53:58 AM
The first one is a bridge. I don't think it needs any more than what it is. The only thing I could think to add would be a few broken tiles.
@Love - it's a pretty nice map. The hallway bureau seems a little out of place and kind of seems like it was put there just to take up space. Generally people don't put large objects in their narrow hallways, especially when they have a wide open space nearby. Also, I think the entrance to the kitchen should have the wall ends on it
Anyway, my turn :)
These are just some design screens I'd like some feedback on; it's for my semi-theoretical game, which has an ABS. Ignore the map as it's just for testing and no effort was put into it.
The first is an HUD:
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg188.imageshack.us%2Fimg188%2F1127%2Fhudscreen.png&hash=335a8929be139a39ae3d46020d5395d4fd9c8949)
Basically, health going right in the top left; states going down in the top left
The top right are skills. Skill system is pretty simple; no mana is used, but there is a cooldown. Further, cooldown applies to all skills, so if you use a skill and it has a cooldown of 20s, then you wouldn't be able to use any skills for 20s; I figure that will prevent spamming of powerful skills with high cooldowns. Anyway, you scroll through skills with Q and use the skill with S. The skill that is fully opaque is currently equipped.
Item system is similar and in bottom right. You have a specified number of quick items, and you can equip them. Same rotary system as skills, but no cooldowns.
The second is the CMS for the same game:
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg7.imageshack.us%2Fimg7%2F7064%2Fcmsscreen.png&hash=597dc67d008fe7b03cf77a29caa3854034d464aa)
The map still updates when the menu is open, which is why the menu is so transparent. Windowskin is still a WIP, though parts are thanks to Aindra and the idea for the main part of the window is taken from rafidelis' Equipments on Screen HUD.
Anyway, I am still experimenting with colors for everything, all the guages, normal color and system color. If you guys have any suggestions for colors please tell me
Anyway, windows are pretty self-explanatory. Bottom is the inventory. Right is the actor stats (it's a 1-actor game)
Equipment is top left and the top right is the help window for currently selected item in the inventory.
I should probably explain the weapon system too so you aren't confused by the guages. It's kind of a mix between Diablo II item system and Dark Cloud's Weapon System. In this game, the actor doesn't level, but equipment can, and you can also attach stuff to the equipment. So, stats increase when the weapon or armor levels up, or when an attachment is added. Attachments are unremovable, but upon level up the attahments are absorbed into the items, thus freeing up the sockets. But anyway, there is a gauge because each item has maximums for its stats that it cannot exceed even with attachments and levelups. The empty space under level is left open for item properties, which are represented by icons. I'm debating whether to put the sockets there instead, but I'm thinking of instead showing sockets on the item picture in the inventory itself, so it might be redundant. There's a lot more to the system, but that should explain the current layout for that window.
A lot of this is still a WIP, but I am wondering what everyone thinks of the design. Is it too confusing, too ugly, etc... Any suggestions for improvements before I get into the hard stuff?
Post by: Grafikal on September 06, 2009, 05:59:31 AM
Everything looks pretty good MA, I can't wait until you have it finished. The only thing that bothers me, which I think bothers me about a lot of HUDs, are things kind of just floating around on screen. They're not connected in any real way so it just appears unorganized. I'm glad you posted the CMS though because the HUD has better focus while the menu is up.

The first one is the title screen of my game Somewhere. The titlescreen is dutch, because I was planning on making the game in the Dutch version first and then making an English version. The game is still on my personal waiting list.
The second is the second (lol) puzzle of the Temple of Kristel in my other game on the waiting list, Charity RPG.
The third is the flashback which will let you know your first objective in Charity RPG.
The fouth is the maintenance room in a cancelled RPGmakervx.net community game of mine
The fifth one is from the same game as the fourth, and it's the room of the player, room 4. The slime is the player(not in the original game, this was just to make the screenshot) and normally it wouldn't be there. The red lined box is pointing the easter egg: a painting of thing-thing arena 2. It's good to be knowing that I didn't delete the game yet, because else I wouldn't have these two screens.
There are some of my current project, but instead of posting them you can see them in the topic link in my signature, this is to save room.

Thoughts?

Kentona, rather simple but definitely fitting maps. I approve. :3
KnightZero, rather you not use JPG, make an PNG or something. But anyways, I see no real flaws with the map. Try to work on the screen tint a bit and it might be more interesting.
And ChaosProductions... um, not really much to comment on there. n_n;
And to wrap up, some quick screens of my own, which was my point of posting here in the first place.

Post by: Zylos on October 23, 2009, 06:17:42 AM
I started the GIAW and began work on a quick shooter game made entirely with events, in light of the upcoming RMRK awards and my big big hope to earn 1st place in the eventing category again. Alas, school and general life drama did not play fairly, and I didn't have nearly enough time to complete it... until now. Some of you may remember Star Quest from last year. Well, here it is completely redone on RMXP, with much improved graphics, system, even story.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2FSQ-SS1.png&hash=31017c75d197b661d5f28287daa2b9a720f150f0)
It's time to get them guns a blazin' and pop them damn balloons in the middle of the effin' battlefield!
The concept is pretty simple. Aim your crosshairs and shoot all of the enemy ships until they go down. Each laser shot costs 4% of your maximum energy as shown in the bottom right hand corner. Every now and then your allies will send you some supplies in the form of a random balloon. Green balloons repair damages to your ship and raise your auto-shield by one, while blue balloons restore your energy booster to 100% maximum capacity.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2FSQ-SS4.png&hash=2e42153415d5e94354a822a7f97ac4e0e985217e)
Oh god, another character named Angelo? Can I shoot him please?
There are two main characters and two differing (but interlinked) storylines to choose from. You select your main character at the beginning of the story much like you would select a difficulty on an arcade shooter: by shooting your selection. I could have sworn I had more to say here, but apparently I don't, so moving on...
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2FSQ-SS2.png&hash=b9a0bf1569544797ab03f8334e5ba1da4e0fdb39)
Danger, Maria Robinson, Danger!
You can't just shoot at someone and expect to get away with it, the enemy forces are going to be firing back with all of their might. The warning signal in the top right hand corner will alert you when the enemy is attacking, and the ship will start to glow red just before they fire at you. You have three auto-shield units, so if you lose all three and get attacked, it's game over. There's only two ways to avoid being hit once you're locked onto; One, you can destroy the ship before they can pull off their attack, and two, you can raise your manual-shield up in time to defend yourself. Whether to deploy a better offense or defense is up to you.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2FSQ-SS3.png&hash=3321235385d9959bec2c8a963cbfce773ce6dd10)
Imma charging mah laser!
If you're out of energy in the heat of battle, you're screwed. There's only two ways to get your energy back in time to save yourself. One, you could shoot down a blue balloon pickup and get a whopping 100% energy back, but balloons won't always come when you need them. The other way to get your energy back is by holding down the charge button and letting your energy come back manually via solar energy. It'll come by in increments of 8% per 2 seconds, but you cannot fire your laser or put up your manual-shield while charging, those two seconds can be quite tedious, so use it carefully!
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2FSQ-SS5.png&hash=48d7355073794a9f2f4993ca23fe2f3501f329f0)
Oh shi- fox in space. DO A BARREL ROLL!
Your manual-shield is an outer shield you can pull up in a moment's notice to block almost any type of attack save for crashing into a mountain. It costs 4% of your maximum energy to put up, and will be your greatest asset right next to your trusty cannon. Of course, there are those secret weapon pickups that might be more useful, such as the Shortwave Barrel, the Needler, and of course, the screen clearing Super Nova.
I'm still working on Requiem of the Broken Soul if anyone's curious. Requiem's just a long term project whereas this is a quick short term almost finished project meant for the purpose of getting people to go "Oh cool!" and remember me when it comes time for voting next month. ^^b

My only "complaint" because I feel nitpicky and you're super good is the bottom yellow bar. The one pixel of blue there looks rather odd, I'd suggest either moving it down or up one to either eliminate it it give it more of a purpose. Also, it you look to the right of the bar you'll see another odd black line that doesn't look as though it's supposed to be there. Either of these two things adjustable or not?
Edit: Also, anyone have some feedback for mine? n_n;

@joy - I'm not even sure how you managed to customize it so much :P It looks good though
@Arky - That map looks great. I find the windowskin to be a little ugly though. Well, not really ugly, but kind of plain.
Post by: Zylos on October 29, 2009, 02:47:27 PM
@Arky - I'm really liking that screen. The mapping and choice of tileset looks very well done. My only two gripes are (as Modern Algebra / Owyn said) the windowskin doesn't look the greatest with the coloring of the map and the faceset (of which I also think is pretty good, did you make it yourself?). I'd suggest looking for another type of windowskin that's different but still feels like a Lunar/Grandia type of game. The other complaint is the plain green part of the tree tops, especially with how much of the shadow/fog is on there. Maybe you could use a different autotile or something?
Post by: Arky on October 29, 2009, 03:04:07 PM
You two are correct about the windowskin, I'll try to find a better one. :X

Is it just me, does the right side seem full of grass details and the left side seem, well, kinda dull in comparison to the right?Ah, you're right on that. . . . Been quite some time since I last mapped :-[

They look really good, but can I ask why there's a little semi-transparent box in the upper left-hand corner of the last screen?
that has to do with the custom battle system
it's the technique queue, right now it's empty because the current character doesn't have any techniques set.
it'd look like this if you set a couple

The map looks good, but the entrance to the house is at a very odd place, as well the room on the left.

it looks nice, but it's kinda overwhelming with detail, it took me a few moments to even register where I could walk.
Also: why would plants be growing inside a lava filled cave, and springing up from rocks that appear to be glowing hot with lava/fire?

You're the first in the world to see my new, improved and final design of the Meclador Cave in my game. :blizj:I'm sorry, but logically speaking, There's just no god damn way plants would find a volcano suitable to survive, specially with lava flowing. It would look better & understandable if you didn't use the Lava & the 'recently made' charcoal tiles. But aside from that, the composition of the idea itself is good, just that, there's two elements that aren't compatible.

Second city of a project I'm working on atm, not really happy with the water in the middleIt's kinda symetric, you might want to edit the water in the middle for sure, try changing it for a fountain or having the big tree from the forest tileset in the middle. You could add variations to the houses itself, as I see, only the one at Northwest catches my eyes, the rest is just the same thing over & over. Try using some of the wall variations the tileset has :3

Okay, 5 people: I'd say if you touch up on the dialogue (as in, make it sound more like people interacting, not one guy after another speaking in strict, rigid English) and give your villain ample reasoning behind coming for the mayor (Give him some sort of backstory, it's always nice to have a multifaceted antagonist), you can probably move on.

So these are four maps stung together, and the one with the building is with the main characters, excluding the guard.
These maps are set in a dense forest with a large lake, where a government military research facility is located.
The research lab has yet to be finished, so these are just the preceding four maps. The first two are supposed to be on the other side of the lake, so they don't tile well.

There is back story of why the villain is coming for the mayor. That information is given in another cut scene before this takes place. His true identity will not be revealed until later in the game.

I'm unsatisfied with the background of this, I need to figure out how to sprite some clouds in or at least add a better gradient. Supposed to be a good boss battle, looks like I didn't quite catch a good shot for it though. n_n;

And some views of the battle. It's not necessarily early in development, but most of whats being developed can't be seen. I'll start work on doing monster turns after I finish the action que.

Mostly trying to get a spriter so I can actually focus on the system and not have to headache over how pretty it is (especially since my art is quite ugly!)
And since some people on other forums seemingly get confused, yes, it's made in RM2K3, and yes, that's a popup menu. No character sets used!

Battle stuffs lols~

But it is best for things like Sprites(Character Chips) and Title Screens etc.
.JPG would be good for simple screenshots like this.
EDIT:
Looks pretty decent, I don't like 2k3.. but still, looks alright.
You should add more yard detail, like a bush or a tree or something.

.PNG doesn't have to be every image extention you use.But there's no reason to choose JPG over PNG, unless you're on 56K. You're best going with PNG because there's absolutely no loss.

OK, can we get off the topic of JPGvs PNG and go back to the pictures?Topics realign themselves. They don't require users to try to push them.
There's nothing wrong with a little off-topic discussion.

First floor of houseYour counter shouldn't be on the wall, but in front of it. That line of shelves doesn't look good. Try putting some decoration (pictures and things) on the walls so it doesn't look so empty. Maybe place some other objects around the area.

Basement of houseIt just looks odd having all those crates together on one end of the hallway, especially since the wall is two tiles high and you're going for a stacking visualization while showing both wall tiles. The room shape doesn't make sense. It's too empty.

bedroom of houseThe random assortment of a beds is bizarre. Having three beds in one room is unheard of. The lower area is too empty.

I agree with Irock, add a little more detail and the counter and stove shouldn't be against the wall like that. Other than that, you did a nice job on them.

The door overlaps the rubble on the right. I'm also not a big fan of the arches on the left and right of the building; it looks bizarre and somewhat unbelievable.

Add bushes, plants and other items. Your dirt path is too square. Dirt paths tend to be more natural and rough. I'd also make the grass patches more rough and populate the area with more of them.
Post by: Drakusatheon on December 27, 2009, 10:34:34 PM
All right, so I made the dirt road rougher, added some miscellaneous pebbles on it, more shrubbery and flowers, changed the layout of town square, and worked to close some of the gaps.

Also, I'm not a fan of using the overworld ocean tile for water outside of the world map. I'd use the ones intended for that purpose.
For that bridge you have going on there, try using these bridge tiles (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,26153.msg327439.html#msg327439) I made. If your E tileset is full, you can make them into events.
I'd also make the lights 2 tiles high, as they're taller than the buildings. Like this:

These aren't even from my main project. aha. Anyway, they are almost straight Mack tilesets with nothing else other than 4 or 5 RTP flowers.
These were maps for a scrapped mapping project I was working on (IE - Not working on it anymore).

The vertical bridges should have horizontally long planks and the horizontal bridges should have vertically long planks, not the other way around. The dock/bridge on the left looks completely stupid just floating over the water like that. I'd also put a tree or something in the top right corner.
Other than that, pretty good.
Post by: Ninjuit on December 29, 2009, 12:41:34 AM
-Aha, thanks for actual critique. The bridge things, I never knew I was using them wrong o_0, but I do know that dock thing looks stupid the way it is. I would totally edit that map, but they are just screens from an older project from a couple of weeks ago that I couldn't finish because my HD died (it was just a project to practice some mapping).
Anyway, I'm probably going to end up spriting my own bridges or editing the Mack ones with some shadows and depth to make them look better :|

Quote from: YouTube Description
The stat system is very similar to Final Fantasy X, but with some differences:
With this system, "Mind Stages" seperate the stat ladder. The first two stages are linear, but after that, they bridge out into other sections, giving it more of a custom feel.
The EX Burst can mean a lot of things, depending on the person using the system (I will be releasing this for free use after I have finished). In the test game I am doing, Theo and the other characters use this system as part of their mind. If they upgrade 6-7 stats at the same time (meaning without exiting the window), they will enter a temporary state of insanity; allowing free stat boosts and a quicker cursor. I will be adding more features soon.
I've fixed a few bugs in the system, plus I have given it a more graphical look. I have still not added some sounds, such as the ones when a Mind Stage has opened, or when an upgrade is acquired.
The EX Break is functioning perfectly now. In this video, you only need to upgrade 4 times for an EX Break, but it will be much harder to get an EX Break in the final version.
As you may have noticed, when Theo is teleported to the CMS, there is no event to start him on the grid. This will be changed later on.

@Irock - I like it. It might help to give some waves to the water though, so that it can animate. Unless you want that to be used for still water only, like lakes - that would be good too.
Also, I've never played pokemon, but I think they mean it looks like this: http://i44.tinypic.com/343ndr6.jpg. I don't think they're that much alike though.

I feel like (from a complete design stand-point) that you could bring in the text from the top and bottom more. The type is really squeezed in there.
Could you explain a bit more? I see what you mean, but I need a bit more detail before I start changing the text around.
Quote
Also, I find that it would be nice to have a small animated arrow or some icon or note letting you know to continue scrolling through characters (whether that be up to down or left to right).
Awesome idea! I'll add that in next. :)
Quote
I think the images you chose for the characters are great, however I think it'd be nice to have them all proportionate as well. It appears that Rikku is bigger than Dante in size here, but is more likely a lot smaller than him.
Yeah I noticed that. I'll edit them so they are the correct sizes.

Terribly fast shop job, lol.
Basically, making the text smaller or having less text to bring it in from the edges, giving the text more air to breath and a margin. It makes the text much easier to read (considering there's a lot there). Also making it so the text doesn't overlap your character images.
Post by: Tezuka on March 25, 2010, 10:52:37 PM
Adding the margin was pretty difficult, so I only did it for one side due to how tight everything is (max size of a picture in 2k3 is 320x240). I couldn't make the text any smaller than it is now because of the how bad it looks when I do try to make it smaller, even when using anti-aliasing. I will be adding the arrows when I find (or sprite) suitable ones.
Auron gave me problems due to his proportion, so I may end up changing that later on. I also added the character stats, since they are quite important.
Oh and small background change. :X

I wish there was a patch to fix this bug. I set messages to transparent and it makes battle menus just text. I think it looks neat... but the stats window will always have a background. (Using the transparency colour just makes it use... the transparency colour.)
But you don't want me moaning about that, how about some ambience work.

I really like your atmosphere, however I think it would be more fitting if there were more trees or more cliffs or something closing it in more. The light suggests that it's peaking through something or over something, wether it be a cliff or a canopy. I agree with MA that a door and some windows would really help. Also, I think you over did the random flora on the ground a bit. It looks kind of cluttery.

- Sprite animations, background animations (maybe), finish status area,
- EXP/CP/Cash/Items/Level Up display in results screen,
- ... make turn flow not a rip off of The Legend of the Philosopher's Stone CR system.

Also, the crucifix clashes heavily with the art style it is surrounded by...
The pillars, I noticed, are right in front of the benches that serve as pews... Since this is a church, there would be very little obstructing the view from the pews of the altar.
Hrm... I think that you should double the capacity of the church (that is, add another set of rows) and increase the size of the map by 5... I think if you made a custom Altar by using the top of the grey marble walls (in the same area as the vine walls, earth walls, and flesh walls) and copy a bit of the grey marble side (about half the height) in your TileE (I did this on mine, and it looked nice, but you need both the left and right to make it look right...
Then, you can use that custom Altar in front of your preacher, rather than having a table behind them (it looks really nice with a coupla candles and a hymnal)
As a final note, the switch on the wall is too low... You are using XP, so it should be 1 square off the ground, or else it looks funny...
However, I'm loving the stained glass... I never had XP, so I don't know... Is that standard?

Yes, I realize that the trees in front of the church look out of place. I believe that it gives a nice contrast, though.
might i ask how you took and arranged that picture scanime? meaning none of the event squares and everything laid out like you were in the game but without your character. and yes, i believe that is one of the default in rmxp.
The character is in the screenshot. He probably print screened from the Playtest.
Post by: Irock on May 07, 2010, 05:14:55 AM
I think it's a bit bare, though. Try adding some rocks, plants, dead trees and other things around the place, maybe another (pot hole/dirt spot) to the right of the top left buildings section.
Here are some scenes from a game I created in Stencyl for a contest. The graphics were a quick job in Photoshop.

That's interesting... what's the game about?Winter has just ended, and it's time for the trees to become green and full of life once again. You take control of a cloud, and your objective is to water all the trees on the screen until they're covered in leaves. You eventually run out of rain, so you'll have to hover over bodies of water to refill. Unfortunately for you and the trees, there are enemies that want to prevent the trees from greening up. They'll attack trees, and when the trees are attacked, they'll gradually lose leaves. You must defeat the enemies by either watering them or striking them with lightning, depending on the enemy. Once all trees are fully green, you'll move on to the next level.
Post by: scanime on May 07, 2010, 12:40:04 PM
A church with an organ area in that spot would tend to be longer... Also, I don't really like the symmetry... But taht is just my opinion...

Thanks for the input, Sashikinaroji!
The crucifix at the top is my own attempt at creating a tile from scratch. It's pretty much a work in progress at this point, as you can clearly see. ;D If I can't get it looking right, I'll probably just stick with a simpler cross. Except for that, the candles along the side walls, and the elongated table at the front, every other tile is default RTP, including the stained glass.
The switch isn't supposed to be there... it was there while I was testing some events, but I'll make sure to remember to take it for the next version.

Like SirJackRex said, it's just a copy of screen while playtesting, using Alt-PrintScreen. The sprite at the top is the character, although I suppose you could always create an event that set the character's opacity to 0 if you wanted to take a screen shot without the character appearing on it.
I'll post a new version of the map later today!

Ahh, fuck, my interior maps look like piss compared to everyone else's.
A little help? (Not good with large interiors.)
This is supposed to be some kind of conference room with a small storage compartment.
It looks a bit empty, like the room is too large or something. What I would do is try making the table larger, put more filler stuff in, try to squeeze in another room, or just make the map a tile or two smaller. Try all of those and pick whatever looks best ;D
Also, adding windows somehow just makes every interior map I see look a lot better. Of course, having a window in a closet in the middle of a building doesn't make much sense, unless you have this awesome, bad ass idea for an RPG in which the protagonist lost his phone in the Winchester House and you're making maps for it.

Eh, might as well add in my half-done half-decent map I've got going on.
It took an hour or two. I had to mess with the cliffs a lot to get them to look nice, and they still look meh =/

I could make the table into a horseshoe shape, like some kind of "League of Legions" or some shit, I guess.

I get what you're saying about size. I don't do well with larger interiors because they end up looking kind of... empty. Unless it's a set of compartments or a tunnel or something (I love tunnels, tunnels are my favourite.)
I could reduce the size of the main compartment and add an "office" or something to it; it'd look a bit more convincing, I think.
Post by: Ryosis on June 11, 2010, 12:43:45 AM
Dong all the mapping in photoshop, ultimate control.
Yeah, tried that once or twice. The trouble for me comes from getting everything aligned. More often than not I find myself unable to stick with the whole 32x32 grid shit, which ruins the whole deal.
Anyway, finally 'upgraded' to VX the other day. Getting used to the new gui was actually pretty smooth. I can't wait to really work with it. Anywho, here's a small bit from a map I have just finished up. Pretty good for only ~72 hours of experience.

Post by: SirJackRex on June 13, 2010, 08:09:29 AM
A few things, though:
The top house looks too narrow. Have you tried it with a height of 3 roof tiles?
The windows of the houses are oddly placed.
The pavement looks weird. There need to be more objects placed on the pavement or something, because as it is it just jumps out and clashes with everything else.
The back of the houses look strange. I don't know what it is, but the immediate use of trees and tall grass behind a house looks bad to me.
I also suggest that you either move the third house on the bottom up to align with the other two, or make the pavement 2 tiles deep instead of 1, just to see how it looks.

Post by: liberty on June 15, 2010, 12:59:39 AM
@jirby: There's a few things I've been editing RTP-wise, though the pot was made by someone else, so I think it'd be best if I leave it as is. People tend not to like it if you edit their creations. You've got pretty sharp eyes, though. I hadn't even noticed the angles. ^.^;
Post by: SirJackRex on June 15, 2010, 02:07:57 AM
Because it really is. Also, as jirby had said, I really love the staves sticking out of the vase. It didn't catch my eye until right after I had posted my previous post. It's the subtle edits to the RTP that can push the maps to the next degree, and the game by extension.

*GASP* Language, my dear Samuel.
I've basically shown this before somewhere. GamingW I think. Trying a new tileset though. VX and IGM Demo tiles lazily resized into RM2k size.
... it doesn't look too bad does it? I like the grass at least. A bit less blinding than the Rudra tiles I had before and combined with this screentone...
EDIT: Found it, here's the old one, different tone.

Thanks for the fast replies. I was going for a bog-ish effect with the water, but now I think I'll use this one instead. Looks a bit better in my opinion. (I usually hold SHIFT when placing grass tiles near the water edges so it may have looked a bit odd because of that too.)

@ DarkCodeZero: Looks good, but needs more flora add a few flowers.

yes its not done, my only question is if i should keep the light illuminations.
Its a temple that has gone slightly feral over the years, its a dungeon for my game.
Now the question is, do i use the highlights, or do i just say that its gone feral and as such, plants have begun growing inside
appreciate it

It's also unrealistic to see a bright beam of light shining into the room, yet the room remains dark for the most part. In order for beams of light to be visible in the first place, the room would have to be dusty. In order for the room to not be bright when it's really bright outside the windows, you'd have to defy the laws of physics.
Unless the light is coming from an artificial source, like a car's headlight.

Granted I find the RTP to be drab under its own power, but the mapping is relatively well done, though the water beside the blue house looks awkward.

Post by: Dyre on July 13, 2010, 02:03:21 AM
My first crack at mapping on RPG Maker VX. Feedback/CC is great and welcomed.8/10 (if only because the tileset bothers me)
I love the colors in VX but not so much the tilesets, you did a very nice job with them however.
I think it is an adorable little village. I'm assuming it's located in a swampy area or perhaps just a place that gets a lot of rainfall? The frogs and lily pads give the impression of a swampy area. A little sparse on houses but that's always a matter of personal taste, maybe it is a very small village. ^.^
you'd hate Venice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice) then.
I dunno, Venice is all canals and arched bridges and has that surreal drowning city look. (I do believe it is sinking, albeit very slowly)
This one is more of a village in a swamp, with some dead trees, creative use of fog and lighting it could become a rather creepy little place.
Very different atmosphere...to me anyway.
My contribution to the thread(and my first post, I 'spose);
I made a giant tree, it is split into multiple screenshots. I only did it to test the tileset, turns out I like the tileset. =)
Could use some feedback on the look though, does it look like a giant tree?

@Taylor - those maps look awesome.
@Griever - looks like a unique project you have going there.
Thanks, I think. I'm trying to make a game that doesn't feel or look like every other RM2K3 game I've played (with varying degrees of success!)
@Dertt: I agree with the other comments, you definitely need a light source. Also, ordinarily I would say that the room is far too big as it looks too open and, if those enemies are touch-encounters, then I still think that it is. However, if they are ABS-based encounters then I'll let you off because the extra space might be needed to move around in...

I have here a decent looking indoor map, with added sepia tone just for fun. I think it came out rather well considering I can't map worth $#!%. But then I try to make a simple hallway to go with it...
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi254.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh99%2FZylos_2007%2Fss2-1.png&hash=f69add1096e64e750c835d7a838cb78885183290)
...and it feels kinda empty in comparison. What can I do to make even the hallway look a little more artistic as opposed to just being a corridor from one section to another?
I'll be honest here that these screenshots aren't even for a project I'm working on. I'm just messing around with RMVX to see what I can make, and practice a bit of mapping since I'm in sore need of doing so.
Post by: Sashikinaroji on August 09, 2010, 05:45:31 PM
yeah, it's VX.
@Zylos
My suggestion is to make your hallway smaller. Take away the realism a bit, and it will look better...
Post by: Asch on August 09, 2010, 06:33:50 PM
Definitely narrow the hallway by a tile. Make the carpet look like it goes from wall to wall, instead of wall to ceiling, by using shift click. Maybe throw in some statues like you have in the first screen... That's all I can think of. Just play with it using different objects; you'll find something you like.
Post by: DarkMessiah on August 09, 2010, 07:16:32 PM
I feel your pain :(
But like the others said, make that hallway one tile smaller, and just place maybe some statues, those are usually in hallways, at least in haunted castles.
Anyway, as for the top one, it looks nice
7.5/10

-Sashikinaroji- You could try editing the entire tile set in photo shop and turn the saturation to 100, then turning the saturation of the other image to -100
i think that will help XD
Not really... Because then the image would be too detailed... And in all the wrong places.
I wanted only to have 3 colors (well, just white, black, and 50% grey) in the game... Normally, it is supposed to be for the different colors... And I am making tertiary colors with the old-school method of criss-crossing colors (so, if you don't look too close, i have around 5 colors)

@liberty: A bit of a grammar issue: Change the last line to "I only grant entrance." Entrance is spelt incorrectly, and it needs the 'I', otherwise it kinda sounds like the words are instructing the heroes to the the entrance permission granting.

It IS a little empty, but for a map like that, it doesn't look like it needs much deco. Try some weapons on the wall, maybe some statues, some windows... y'know what I mean? I give this a... 7/10. But I'm a terrible judge.

well, Mr. Van-til (couldn't resist because I am a stupid nerdy bastard), I think that, if those are residences in the corners, it makes for a very strange town concept... Not only is it only 2 houses, but the castle wall is formed around them, and they are just out-of-place looking.
But, if it is some sort of entryway for the castle, the wall formations make sense, but they still look horrendously out of place and strange... so, it basically comes down to: do something about those purple-roofed houses.

I'm not so sure about the use of anti-aliased serif text there. Why not stick to the RM font you were using for the exploration interface elsewhere?
It's just to make certain cutscenes stand out a little bit more. The images are currently placeholders if I am being honest, I am going to have the "facesets" drawn out in a different style by a friend of mine when the project nears completion and the background images will eventually look more comic-book like than they do now.

@The Shadow- That's some good shit there. I'd move the boxes in the bottom right up a tile though. It looks strange when the graphic stops right where a wall (or jail cell bars) start.

Took me seemingly forever to do this one. It feels a bit small, but then it's supposed to be just a small sitting room / parlor. Still need to work on the lower bookshelf so that it's a tad longer, and the back of the arm chair facing up can use some more details.
There's two issues bugging me though. One, the fire sprites never seem to fit right in the fireplace. The solo fire sprites hover above the floor of the fireplace, and the campfire log fire sprites stick out a bit from the fireplace. Can't seem to win either way. Secondly, the vertical bookshelf feels weird; there's a massive gap between the player and the bookshelf, making it look as if he's going to examine all the small titles from several feet away. Aside from making the shelf fatter, are there any solutions I might try for this?

Ah, my apologies. I meant the lower shelf, the vertical one that you can't see the contents of. As you can see, the player is right next to it, yet there's quite a distance between him and the shelf.

Really nice. This screen color tone have an interesting feeling. About the fireplace, it looks well for me, maybe you can erase these pixels that stick out of the place.
And the bookshelf looks weird, I don't like the way VX mapping is because of this. What you can do is edit it to be more thin. I recommend to do positioning of such things using them as events, in the events' graphics you can positionate it where you want.
A little screen :D

It is a farm.
Farms need to upturn the ground for crops.
Forests are rife with roots... Large ones... That extract nutrients rather fast.
A forest just doesn't seem a very good location for a farm. And another issue is that said farm is extremely tall... Not large, just tall. Shorten it by a square or two (depending on what looks right) and fix those trees that merge with the house.

Nice. I've been trying out my hand in mapping in Photoshop; it's great, far better than mapping in VX itself. Anyway, as for the map itself, it looks great, though I'm a bit iffy on whether or not I like the combined tiles from other tilesets, especially in regards to the flora. The XP and VX RTPs have a sort of cartoon feel to them that alundras plants simply don't have. But yeah, map is sex.
Anyway, I've been trying out a bit of a new style for a game I'm making that I plan to enter in RPGMakerVX.net's Halloween contest. I won't say much about the game itself, but I guess there's no harm in showing you a preview.

As you can see, I'm trying to go for a look mimicking that of some of the earliest films. Any suggestions on improvements?

Yeah, I'm trying to go for a dark atmosphere, but hopefully it's not too overdone...
updated screens as mentioned:

I rather like what you've done with your battle back... Is the lighting effect a part of the background, or is is an additive on the foreground?

Okay, so I'm sort of a newbieto this site (I joined some time back but haven't been really active due to my busy schedule: ) So I haven't really posted on this topic before, but, I will give it a try. Here are some screenshots I was doing for a terminated and unreleased XP project a long time ago. I hope/believe I have grown as a mapper, and I have stopped using XP, and have now moved on to VX - just two factors to consider. I had anticipated finishing my project, but, I never got around to it, so it's built up in my project folders and I just felt I need to share some of my screenshots. Just a heads up, they are supposed to be pretty dark!Oh, and the fourth screenshot is the same mapas the third screenshot, I just showed the entire map (not in play mode, though) so you could see it.

try using different grass types, more flora as well.
Water should be as rounded as possible, not so square, it's not a circuit board after all.
also please don't use so many text colors.

A. It would be better to use the base cliff tile here.
B. This particular tile choice makes the cliff look like it just... ends. If there is a tile that offers a more gradual transition, I would suggest using it.
C. What are the ends of this bridge connected to?
D. Not an error per se, but it seems a bit unnatural for the grass to form a perfect right able around the corners.
E. It is ill-advised to use ladder tiles on corners. It just comes out looking weird.
F. See A.
There's also the matter of the water. There is no visible shore, and that one little segment where there's only two inches of space between the two sides is a glaring issue. I would also take a second look at the waterfall.
Nothing particularly wrong with the second screenshot other than the lack of detail. I would suggest adding a few more decorative tiles to spruce things up. The same can be said of the first one as well.

... where did you get those tiles? I though they were originals of ccoa's.
They are made by Amaranth, who made the aveyond series, and not Ccoa. You can find the tiles here:
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?autocom=gallery&req=sc&cat=56
They are uploaded by Amaranth herself.
Here's a screenshot from me:

I can dig it. I would mess with the fog a bit though; it blocks out some of the finer details, especially in the darker areas.
I was assuming that it was an animated fog over the top, which would be totally acceptable to be that dark, because it doesn't stay in the same spot for long... of course, I could be mistaken... Often am, actually...

Post by: Taylor on November 04, 2010, 10:18:39 PM
I mean where you've got "sub" blending is good, but the other areas are a little... well... foggy. If you have two fogs, decrease the non-blended one's opacity. If it's just one, decrease the opacity, and increase the darkness of the screen-tone.
The second screenshot I'll agree with the others. Make areas not near the campfire or moon darker, and near them brighter. Increase the contrast of the overlay.

If I was playing this map, I would have -no- idea where the hell to go just glancing at it. As much as mapping is about being pretty, it's also about play design. Work your tiles to subliminally guide the player toward the proper destination. Make a path.

Post by: liberty on November 19, 2010, 09:03:55 AM
Oh, and I will keep the idea in mind of subtly guiding the character along, Arrow, it's just that in smaller, closed off maps (which I tend to use) a more pronounced guide isn't really that necessary. Most of them only have two or three ways to exit the map and they usually don't go over 50x50 size-wise. (Besides, snow tends to get rid of trails and pathways that aren't set in stone. And wilderness areas don't really have many paths as is.) But I will bear it in mind for more civilised maps.

Im not 100% sure of this one. I wanted to see if you could create an outdoor map with the cave tileset.

I think shelves shouldn't go above carpets though.
And the painting in the wall above the bookshelf doesn't make sense.
Nothing makes sense in the wall above high shelves :/

Read Rule #1 and Rule #4 - http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,13769.0.html
The second map is fine, but it could use a little more randomness and a little more clutter. It's a bit too empty. Also, you have some weird wall errors in the upper right part. Some sections are missing, some of the walls aren't right, and a couple of the walls are too tall or extend below where the wall just curved.
The third map is also not great. Besides what Zylos has said about the roof windows, the wall windows are missing their top half. Also, what is with the tiny fenced section and the random barrels scattered everywhere. Nature is random, but humans aren't.
Sorry if I sound a little harsh, but you shouldn't be making tile errors. Anyway, just keep at the mapping stuff and you will eventually become a better mapper.

If you want the former, use a blue overlay, that works wonders.
For the latter, I would suggest a reddish or orange tinge...
Of course, you have to experiment to find the best layer style... If you have photoshop or Sai (which is free to try) you could give them a shot so you don't have to keep replaying your game to see the results...

The square tall grass everywhere is unnatural. Break it up some.
The farms seem to be too perfect and repetitive.
Those highly saturated red plants and frozen looking blue ones look.. awful. I don't know where you got them, but you shouldn't use them.
That highly saturated blue roof looks bad as well.
The holes and cracks you used on that roof are for walls. I can tell and it looks silly.
That middle section that sticks out on the building in the middle left area of the map is really strange.
Your grass is bare in many areas. Try adding some weeds or bushes or rocks or something.
You should never put tall grass over a casted building shadow unless you're removing it with a script.
Post by: Grafikal on December 04, 2010, 02:12:53 PM
Oh, and try laying the grass down before the trees. The trees can sit upon the grass. Sometimes it looks odd when the trees are just avoiding the grass haha.

I'm working on large scale to reorganize the tiles on all the tilesets from the VX RTP. So far the only tile I haven't made myself is the water tileset you can see in the last 2 screenshots. I had to edit it though because the way it was created had some beginner errors.

The snowy mountain blends better, it's more sharp/detailed.
Post by: mouse on December 19, 2010, 12:50:47 AM
There are a lot of really, really bad RMVX games out there, but perhaps one or two creators seem to understand how to map with it and it can look really good.

I've tried to pick screenshots that show off the systems well but that I also need good harsh criticism on.

I hate this tileset the most out of every tileset in the history of creation, thus making it good practice. Also, I'm not sure what mapping error your pointing out. If you mean where the side of the ship doesn't meet the bottom part, that's just how this tileset works to my knowledge. O wait. The bridge thinger overlaps the side. my bad. That is easily fixable.

Practicing mapping to hopefully increase from 'bad' to 'sub-par'The Ship Tile set was always kinda . . . bad.Spoiler for:
The ship is kinda, badly done, in terms of the poles . . . It's a bit lonely in there, also, that bridge actually needs those 'metal' tube/poles with or without the rope around, and it'll look good.
Sorry bout the double post. Edit wasn't working for me[/spoiler]
Got another map for ya. I actually am proud of this one. It looks good to meSpoiler for:
It's good but . . . bland, try to add grass, 'dirt' autotile, and some more trees. The mountains looks too symetrical in a natural point of view, nature tends to me asymmetrical. the --> Bridge's ropes on the lower part are badly placed, use the 3rd layer to put them on top of the bridge itself, not below it.

Graphically wise I think a lot would be improved by reducing the contrast on the water though that is more a criticism of the RTP than of your mapping.

Here's a map and tileset I have been working on for some months. Please tell me what you think.

Post by: LockeZ on December 31, 2010, 09:24:21 AM
Please try to ignore the fact that the main character can walk through walls and looks suspiciously like Crono. This was created as a test of the CT style battle system I'm using, but I'm interested in feedback on my map right now. The map is a factory with a giant vat of lava with sharks swimming in it. The game will start with the main character hanging from that crane and being slowly lowered into it.
It's a combination of rips from several games and a couple photos, so please tell me which parts if any seem too mismatched.
KeTeLe: Things are too spread out on that map. Unless you plan on adding a lot more features, I'd condense it to about half as tall and half as wide. Alternately (or maybe in addition), add a couple more buildings - you're already doing the thing where you have unenterable buildings to make the town seem busier, but the fact that the town only has five buildings total makes it a moot point. Some outdoor objects would liven it up too, like fences or carts or an outdoor shop.
erlyn: The grass is dark and busy, which makes it look like a jungle. If that's what you were going for, then good job. The straw houses also add to the jungle feeling. I feel like the vegetable garden is perhaps out of place in a jungle tileset though. I'd color the wheels of the farm carts a different color than the bed of the cart, and maybe color the handle differently also. Keep them wood if you want, but make them darker so the cart stands out a little more. Its coloring seems too simple compared to the houses and other objects, which are all well-done. You might also want to make a version of your palm tree that's flipped horizontally, and use it in place of about a third of the existing trees.
Sunny Milk: The map isn't bad but the fact that it's completely open on all four sides makes it seem like it might be too big. It's really helpful to the player if the map gives clear visual cues on which directions are useful to go, so they don't wander off into the wilderness. Maybe there's a path south of the tents that I can't see from the screenshot, but even so, the fact that your character is walking north suggests to me that there's something to the north. If there is, make a path, and block off the east and west somehow. If there's not, block off the path north too. A simple one-tile-high cliff is enough to mark the edge of the map, and works well in a forest where small steep inclines are very common in real life.http://

It's not a forest, it's a Grassland,nature is random, I don't like to put a player in an area with little to nothing to explore except in either dungeons or certain given areas.
The map is to suggest that there's more, allowing the player to 'explore' around.
Here's a typical Forest:

even here, there's suggestions of more areas for the player to explore, thou these paths are not visible for the player in the first time or visit :3
regarding your map, I don't have much to say except for the graphic clash I see in my opinion & the fact Chrono can walk throu walls which you don't want these to be pointed out. :/

I think that's a pretty sweet tileset. Maybe a little more contrast in the thatchwork of the houses would be helpful though. Everything else looks perfect.
@LockeZ - you should probably use a script where the player character zooms out a little as he moves up the map. Otherwise, the depth intended doesn't really work.

Well, I know I have the ability to walk through walls turned on in the video. What part of the graphics clashes, though, exactly? Someone else said the same thing to me, so I know it's true, but I can't place my finger on exactly what.

Jame's sprite clashes with the background. It's colors are too bright and clash with the dark atmosphere of the titleset you used. His colors just stand too much in my opinion.regarding your map, I don't have much to say except for the graphic clash I see in my opinion & the fact Chrono can walk throu walls which you don't want these to be pointed out. :/

I'm just noticing something that's bugging me. Your characters seem to be standing on the SIDE of the logs, not actually on top of them. It just doesn't look right to my eyes. If you were to move those logs down a few pixels in the tileset, it might look better, but that's really all there is. In any case, I'm not that great at mapping, so it's probably just fine, and the rest of the map is fantastic.
Post by: Karo Rushe on January 04, 2011, 06:00:09 AM
@SunnyNo, it's just like that, and the few pixels moving it would f*ck up the tileset @__@ and a lost of extra work. it's just the circle rune that's giving such a bad effect.

Other than that, it isn't a horrible map, but the weird elevation use in the center is making my brain hurt. It's like a mind trick or something. One second I see a cliff, and the next I see a hole. I'm sure it's supposed to be a hole, or a chasm or something, but it feels awkward to me. It might just be me though.

It's definitely not just the circle rune. I zoomed in. The character's feet are 80% of the way down the log. They should be near the top. She's not even standing on it right now, if anything it looks like the character is sitting on the log. If you want her to be standing on top of the log, the log needs to be about 12 pixels lower.
This isn't hard to do and I don't see how it would mess up your tileset. You just add a new log to your tileset that's 12 pixels lower on the tile than this one is, and use it for the new moving logs while using your same old log tile for all the old logs that can't be walked on.
You know XP tilesets can be infinitely tall, right? If you want more tiles, you can always just make the image taller and add your new tiles to the bottom. It won't affect any of your existing tiles...

Get rid of the shadows underneath the characters too, they look awful. Not only do they look more like a UFO is hovering over the character's head and creating a shadow than anything else due to their retarded shape and retarded size, but also they don't interact properly with the trees and other objects on the background, covering things up that should be above the shadow. Plus your dudes don't have shadows when not in a battle. It's a disaster.

Your tileset is amazing, very beautiful. It reminds me of all the good the Snes did with graphics. The trees look amazing, I could see and know what the grass was, the dirt looks great with the grass and I adore the houses! And from what I see, the sprites match well with the tileset. The water looks great too, and I like that you made it so we could still see the cliff/side.
I don't really see anything bad about the mapping either, so I won't try to comment on it. :P
I do have a suggestion though...the boxes to the house to the left in the middle, I could barely tell what they are. Unless they aren't boxes?

Well, there's really no reason for the sparkles, it's just a thing I've added to give the map more nature and a exotic feeling. SInce the water there is very clean and the place is magical... There's really no big deal for it :P
And btw, do you mean the sparkles in the water or the fog effect? The sparkles are just sprites from RTP and the fog is picture from woratana's fog demo.

You're top right corner is off. It appear that the vertical wall is on ground level, which doesn't work. You should extend it all the way along, and then have a 1 hheight tile for the left side, instead of those stairs.

What exactly do you mean by that? I think (I may be wrong) that the vertical wall that you're speaking of in the top right is my door. It is on ground level. And a 1-heaight tile for the left side instead of the stairs? Would I put a ladder there instead?

So, your map isn't bad but there are some things you can do better. As first: the houses. They are exactly like the house in the tileset, try to make some different houses. I'm talking about the shape..
I also think that you can make the mountain more natural, some different levels of high ash example.
Post by: The Shadow on January 29, 2011, 04:29:22 PM
Also, the mounatin as 3 different heights, but you can't see it that on the screenshot.

This is the tile used. The ground under the water matches, but the wall does not.

This tile has a matching wall but no matching floor.
Still, interesting little bits of mapping I noticed that is quite a nice change.

Prepare to feel retarded again. Forte was talking about the fact that, if you saw your map from eye level, the entrance would look like this:
V water V water
____...........____
.cliff.|..........|.cliff.
.......|_____|.......
.......|stone.|.......
It wouldn't be bad, if not for the fact that that the front was that low, but the top was higher than the cliff. so, in effect, your wall looked like this from the side:
\
.\

All in all, your "wall" looks like shit

Thanks! I won't be using the map, so I'm not worried about all the clutter. But I appreciate the comment!~
@modern algebra:
Thank you. Collaborating on it was such a blast, too. A great experience overall.
@Strak:
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean, exactly. Is there something wrong with it, or is it just the placement you're wondering about?
@Ryosis:
Yes, I did want feedback on the tiles (and thank you!) :)
I wouldn't use any of my mapping examples as actual maps, because they're way too busy and they're not designed with gameplay in mind. However, the example maps serve two important purposes: 1) to show how well the tiles fit together and 2) to demonstrate how the tiles are meant to be used. Although using my tiles seems very obvious to me, I've caught a few instances where someone used them wrong. For example, my inner tiles have a wall lamp/sconce. Based on the shape and the shadow, it's very obvious to me that it goes against the wall. But I've seen people use it in lieu of table lamps. So, I've made a couple example maps that show which lamp goes on the wall and which goes on tables. It's much easier to explain little things like that with a visual aid. :D

This is my latest map, a simple Field with a farm. I think my biggest problem with open fields is finding a way to block off players. Comments would be nice.
Aside from the obvious fact that this is huge, there's not much going on. I appreciate that you placed all those doodads around the area, but it would be better if there were also one or two real landmarks, even if it's just an unenterable barn or a parked caravan.
For the edges, try using cliffs to block the path. A one-tile-high cliff is a realistic and easy natural wall. It can go either down or up from the main path.
The curved road looks fine but the curved fence seems weird. Fences are usually straight and cover a rectangular (or at least polygonal) area, because they go up to the edges of property lines. Put something else in the way, like a small but dense group of trees, to explain why the path curves around that spot.
Post by: LockeZ on February 21, 2011, 12:53:12 AM
Opinions? I'm most concerned about the first map, both because it's the intro, and because I'm not sure the combination of graphics styles works well. I feel like it clashes too much but I might just be imagining it since I'm the only one who knows for sure which tiles came from what sources. Please let me know anything that seems wrong or off or even just unusual, for all three maps of course.

Post by: Lunarea on February 23, 2011, 12:51:09 AM
It's pretty much the similar to regular mapping, only you have more control of how and where you layer things. It can take longer to line things up, however, so it may not be an effective solution to maps that are easily made in editor.
The only tool you need is an art program that supports layers and has a grid option. Using the 32x32 pixel grid, you can line things up in a way that would allow for walking room.
You can build your base in RM editor, save it as a parallax and add details in the art program. Or you can build the whole thing in the paint program, just using copy/paste of different tiles.

I've had people elsewhere say the parchment and maps look like they're "ripped off a shitty flash game"... what do you think?
Might be TL:DR territory, if so, skip to the last paragraph.
That's likely because the edges are all darkened... This makes it look unreal, because paper doesn't work that way... Neither does parchment, for that matter...
to make it look more realistic, go ahead and take a piece of paper and put it into light from a source other than directly above, prehaps have a lamp next to the table it is on. Notice the pattern of light. You'll see that there really isn't much difference in shadow at all because you are looking at a flat surface. The only way you would have such deep shadows would be if you had other items casting them.
Also, I like how they looked ripped, but they also don't look believeably ripped. If you wanted to do that, it would end up looking more personalized and unique while also giving you a reason to put shadows (because a ripped piece might be curled up and therefore casting a shadow on another piece.
The map looks very plain, perhaps you should draw a map, rather than simply placing points of interest on a blank page covered in squiggles.
In short, Complexity and and attention to detail breeds originality, so make sure that you take a few minutes to get an idea of what you want... I would suggest you actually make a menu out of real paper using a light source when remaking this menu so that you get better results. Also, I would suggest actually scanning samples of your own writing to use in the menu to make it more realistic and unique.

I don't know how to call 'em in English, so when I say "RED THING", I mean the strokes that you can see in the right upper corner of each of the faces and that come out of the windows.
I think you should get rid of the RED THING that comes out of the Menu Options window. It doesn't have a purpose (or at least, that's what it looks like) and it looks like it's not aligned to the middle of the options window. I think it's a bit redundant, if you know what I mean.
Also, the location should be next to location, not beneath it. If you make the letters a little bit smaller, they could fit next to "Location:", which in my opinion, would look better.
As for the time and amount of Sil, those letters should be a couple of pixels lower, I think.
And maybe, just a suggestion, you could put a 1px stroke around each of the faces, so that you can see the seperation more clearly?
But as always, the style is beautiful and I love the colors, health/sp/exp bars, red stamp on the lower left corner, font and characters. :D

A new experiment in mapping a dense forest. Still very very WIP, I never finished putting in the groundcover in the background, but I think the idea comes across. I'd be adding some different tree trunks as well as pixeling the water.

Japur and Thunderwave: The ribbons on the faces are there to hold status ailment icons, and the one on the right is to alleviate some deadspace.
I understand why you did that, but the ribbons seem out of place. The status ailments don't look like they are on the ribbon. They look like an afterthought to me. But the different length from the last image is what made this more noticeable. Please don't get me wrong, your work is fantastic. I am just trying to explain what I see is awkward. What if you removed the ribbons and let the ailment icons exist in a 2 x something grid, without the grid boxes obviously.
As for the height issue, if the height is based on how tall they are than the sprites should show that also. I think if you move the first guy over a bit to the left, he may look better, because the ribbon blocks his eye.
But believe me it's awesome. I think people are just being picky because they care.

For a clear waterfall you can try this, it was Venetia's RTP edit work, it always looks really nice in my old maps :D

Second is definitely nice. Only thing bothering me is how the grammar sounds, but it's believable for a first person narrative type.
Third one starts to cut to the meat of the game. Right off the bat I notice that the main character's sprite is of a completely different style than that of the zombies, and it is rather distracting. The room feels a bit... crowded on one side and empty everywhere else, and it's kinda unbelievable for a real library. I would suggest spacing your stuff out some more, adding a bit more detail in between, that sort of thing. Pretty much ask yourself if this was your own personal library and you were standing in it, how would you set it up?
I absolutely LOVE the lighting and shadows that you've got there. I don't think I've ever seen that sort of set up before, I'm gonna have to PM you sometime to ask what sort of script you used for it. However, I do notice that it also effects your HUD up there in the corner. It's pretty dark in a lot of the screenshots, and that's not a good thing. Is that fixable?
Fourth screenshot. I like the right side, save for the legs of the stools seeming to stand out more than they should. I like the left side, save for the pinball machines being a bit too bright. But that middle... did you use like a wall tile around the carpeting? And a portrait on the velvet rope? Hrm.
Fifth screenshot. The floor seems to really change a lot. Think you can clear the clutter by just using one piece across all of it? Another thing, you've got what looks like a keypad hanging above the door there. Looks good for a light, but feels a bit strange with the buttons and whatnot there. Similarly, the white keypad is way too high for the character to reach. I'd suggest either editing the tileset or copying it over to a new sprite and manipulating it so that it'll look to be between the two tiles.
Sixth. Whoa. Chaos on the floor there. Okay, you see how a lot of the tiles look to have a small portion of a grate? That's because they actually form a sort of line to put up against walls. The ones that take up a half tile are the main ones, while the ones that take a quarter are used to connect it when it turns. Play with it a bit and you'll see. Not too much else to say, except that I like the water there and that I think you've got the back of the computer's lighting up instead of the front.
Next one seems pretty good, though something's obviously off with the light effect on the bookshelf. I think you've also got a picture half hidden behind the elevator door.
TO BE CONTINUED! Maybe. If I don't forget or pass out after dinner.

Here are the first 3 screenshots of a new project I'm working in.
So far I have all the characters sprited, and their special skills ready. Now I just need to start drawing and making tilesets.
Note. the background and the enemies are more of a practice, Don't know if there will be such an area in the game yet:

@Cray: I wouldn't leave my character faceset having different background color though, it's kinda distracting.@Shadow: The house layout looks a bit too random for my taste actually (especially how the room for the stair and the kitchen). When you map, try to think of a logic arrangement for the house instead of just randomly putting your furniture, that's kinda what I felt looking at your map: I wouldn't put the lamp right in front of the window (in the upper left room) and in the kitchen, make sure there is a way for the housewife to reach the sink lol ... and the window should be unified, don't leave one window with curtain and one not, especially the one with curtain is right above the stove. And like in the sitting-room, a big rug like that would normally be put under the sofa, not in front of the door (only for those smaller ones).

The red brick really clashes with the red roof.
I think you should vary the ghost world and living world more. You're losing a lot of potential by keeping the two worlds nigh identical.
Post by: cray on May 25, 2011, 04:31:53 AM
Post by: SirJackRex on May 25, 2011, 05:38:57 AM
The rocks are identical, the flowers are identical, the cracks are identical, the drapes are identical. Give one different rocks, more rocks, more cracks, different cracks, more grass. Subtly vary the two worlds and they're look substantially better.
You already gave the underworld signs and gave the living world doors, so I can't see how varying the terrain slightly would deaden the transitions.
Post by: cray on May 25, 2011, 12:32:52 PM
anyway I think I could vary things up, but it's a pretty short scene, and I think it's not worth it to change things around too much, probably add a few things but the general tileset is meant to be just a color change.

I've created a very basic map in VX: just the mountains, the water, the grass and the house, and then I went to Photoshop. Once there, I first burned the grass on a couple of places and I put a stone texture under the grass, after which I masked some of the grass so that the stone became visible as a path. The same for the sand.
And then it's just a matter of pasting a LOT of trees everywhere, bushes beneath and above them, putting 10 minutes in each piece of grass and just make the picture complete. :D
I just had to merge some of the layers after a while, because PS began to lag. :P

I can't do much for the numbers, it's how rm2003 handles characters battle status windows... =P
EDIT: nevermind, I was able to edit the character window, so now the numbers are not over the faceset.
and the problem with rows is that they can't be modified to make the characters in those position, because it's designed for a sideview battlesystem, not a 3/4 view battlesystem. So I have to place each character on a individual spot, and because I have 7 characters, some of them have to get a bit farther away from the rest.
Heaven I love that screenshot, is that a battleanimation? loooks great!
Post by: MagitekElite on June 02, 2011, 03:36:30 AM
I think it looks nice, but its a bit small for my (terrible) eyes to see fully. I like the animation you have though, very nice looking :)
@Cray:
Already commented on that piece on RRR, but I'll say it nonetheless :)
I like it, very nice, especially the sprites and hud design. I like how its pretty simple but doesn't ruin anything and also isn't big to fancy, flashing images xD

My very first attempt to parallax mapping. Might look strange because of my awesome pasting skills, sorry for that.I love the way, the path is overlapped by the grass.
BTW, you did you manage to make the change from cliff top to grass look so nice?
Do you use a brush with the grass texture, or do you copy/paste the grass and its edges from the tile?

As for the cliff, I just kept pasting pieces of the grass autotile on the cliff. Afterwards I put a very small dropshadow under the grass.

I think parralax-mapping really expands the capabilities of the rpgmaker.
Is this just like a scetch, or do you plan on adapting this unusual style for your game?
I think it might be a bit too abstract for a medieval themed game.
Also, I think it is kind off odd, that there is a huge pit, but you can't see the outer walls, but instead just the pillar the bridge is standing on.
7/10 just my personal opinion
@Aviziel
Macks tileset always looks nice.
I would add a bit more of random fauna. Small plants, flowers and such.
Perhaps you would also like to add butterflies in various sizes and colours. Don't set the move speed too high, or their movements will appear to abrupt.
Did you use photoshop to create the sunray overlay?

I've tried a forest now with parallax. This is just a small part though, the map's quite big. The other one is a map with a little cavern; if you walk into the cavern, the 'cavern roof' fades to invisible so that you're standing in the cavern. The HUD's not on top of everything, though, but don't look at that.

@cray: nice, I like it. Although I do think the lightning on the candles looks a bit too strong.
I've tried a forest now with parallax. This is just a small part though, the map's quite big. The other one is a map with a little cavern; if you walk into the cavern, the 'cavern roof' fades to invisible so that you're standing in the cavern. The HUD's not on top of everything, though, but don't look at that.

very nice parallax-mapping there.
In the first pic you placed a boulder on flowers. Right above the left flower-tree.
Do you indend do keep the "roof" of the cave flat? I think you could add a few rocks or elevations, but I don't know whether or not the roof will become completely invisible. In case it will not become 100% transparent, you should't add more to the roof, as it would look weird, when semi-transparent.
Also, small graphical error on the the second picture, upper right corner.
really like your work
May I ask, from where you get these lovely trees?
Some are mack's, but what about the ones with flowers and apples.

Yes, I intended to keep it flat, because then the transition would be more easy for the eye. If I had put elevations on it, the player's eye would have to adjust but now it doesn't.
Yeah, the small graphical error has to do with the HUD; it's not on top of everything, I have to adjust that with a self.z in the script.
The trees are from the Leomorn Sword project, of which the creator was so generous to give away all resources. So all credits go to him, for these lovely trees. And of course to Mack, as you said.
Thanks again!

@Japur
first picture, the first bright tree at the right from the character.
The root is overlapping the flowers. I would suggest you paste the trees first, to avoid these (very) small errors.
You could wait with merging the layers, so you can add flowers before adding trees and set the priority of the trees to lowest, when you are finished.
You surely already do this, or have thought of it. I just wanted to point it out.
Could you tell me, from where you got these brighter trees?

I think the top of the cliff looks very flat. You could add more levels on top and at the sides, to make the cliffs look more natural.
The grassy planes in between the houses could be filled with more random fauna. Macks tileset offers quite a few of these little decorations.
You could add a bit more stuff to the houses aswell. I was thinking of signposts, barrels and crates.
Also, if they are chopping down trees, there could be logs big logs laying around and perhaps also stacked smaller ones, like the ones in the RTP tileset.
If there are amphoras next to the market stand, they should also be single ones around it. All in one row makes it look unnatural.
I dont wan't to sound like a dick, I just want to suggest small things to improve the map.
I am sure it will look nice, when you are done.

I would try to either fill the map with more stuff or reduce it's size and make everything closer together.
I want an opinion guys, ignoring the ripped graphics, do you like how this looks? Or does this view looks weird to you?

I really liked Yanfly's Extended Movement script, so I used it for my own project and then wrote a caterpillar add-on for it. Its compatible with the Dash feature too, but the characters aren't as liquid as the player actor when dashing, so when I decide to work on this more and polish it, should be a neat first release (if I don't release anything else before it)
My ambitions are for my game, so they're written for my taste.. but edits like this are simply copy/pasta for me to share (if I choose to do so 8)) --- I plan to upload some screenshots for my game and lots more in the coming weeks, I really enjoy this website more then most. (New to RPG Maker VX!)
Edit: Know that the last two characters in the party do not have isometric sprite sheets (lazy:)), so they didn't face northeast. O_o

SDeluxe, why don't you try posting something you mapped, not something you took from another project?
I rewrote Yanfly's Extended Movement library to feature an unlimited-sized party 8-direction caterpillar (which doesn't exist currently as far as I know) - I wanted to show it off after 5 hours of labor. I used Yanfly's demo as a base since it was a spur of the moment idea (and had all the resources available)

I don't know if this is intentional, but the boxes look like they take up the whole hallway at points.
Those will be in the foreground and the player will walk behind them. Though I guess they do look a little out of place. I'll add some shadows and such to try and show that they're further away.
EDIT: Hmm, tried a few things. Hopefully it looks like things are in the foreground.

The path you have at the moment looks pretty good. Maybe toss in some rocks here and there, a break in the path in places to make it look different instead of one constant path. The buildings need shadows to help blend them in to their surroundings, but that's a little further along. When I do my grass and put plants on them, I try and lower the opacity of the plants a little so they blend in, instead of standing out ... but that's just my preference. Here are some old examples of me experimenting with paths and such, if examples would help you out :

Post by: exhydra on July 22, 2011, 12:07:22 AM
• I'm looking at the two types of grass and not really sure they go together well. They've been separated by the flowers and that helps keep them from clashing directly, but I think if you shifted their colors to resemble one another that it would look better. Or if you simply used one type of grass for the whole map, perhaps. It's not a huge issue, I don't think.
• As for the practice targets, I would suggest marking off one area to be used as a shooting range. Thinking realistically, firing across a path and having a chance for a stray arrow to pierce a tent or hit someone a fair distance away by accident would be a possibility for those targets near the path. The target on the upper right portion of the map near the walkway leaves no room for someone to really practice anything but point-blank shots. The targets on the far right and just above the middle of the map are in a perfect area for a shooting range, but long distance shots would be blocked by the dead tree.

http://www.yacine.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/p100065411.jpg
• The arrows that are just laying on the ground somewhat bother me as well. Ammunition should be taken care of to make sure they don't warp, rot or get stepped on. They should be placed within a box or another container at best.
• The rope tied between the trees with the horse banners hanging from them don't have any shadows to tell the viewer that they are being suspended in air.
• The edges of the flower patches have been feathered, so at times they don't seem to have a distinct end point ... at least in my opinion. They just fade out un-naturally and at some spots with flowers cut in half while leading into the next texture. They might also look better if they were broken up by small patches of grass or open spots, too :

http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/4029/PreviewComp/SuperStock_4029R-376307.jpg
• How long have the stone pillars been there? Would they have moss growing on them? Would they look older, or are they well taken care of?
• The shadow of the practice dummy structure near the bottom of the map have their shadows going north-east while other shadows are either directly below the object or going straight east. The structures also seems to blend together in places as they overlap.
Overall, I think the map looks good. The possibility of the player caring about or noticing what I have listed would probably be small, but I thought that I would bring them up so that you would have some feedback. Keep up the good work!
Post by: Sashikinaroji on July 22, 2011, 12:35:24 AM
The only other thing I would have to say is that, as a camper for going on seven years, I would never put my tent at the edge of a body of water like the one on the left... I mean, a single misstep and you would slip down the wet earth and into the water...
I would suggest either moving the tent over one square or adding another tile to the bottom left of the tent's opening.

I don't really like the drop off edges, but that is obviously a conscious artistic design choice so it's fine if you want to keep it.
Also, and this isn't so much a problem as a question, but are the soldiers in these camps trained or is it more of a revolutionary army? And are they at war or is it kind of set up more for a tournament or something? Because if it were a trained army at war, I'd expect it to be a little more orderly and disciplined - that site looks like it would be hard to defend if attacked. Anyway, that would just be my thoughts - I'm not some expert on medieval warfare or anything like that. It is a very pretty map though.

Its a war that's the main story line, they have been camped there for months - a caravan is currently passing through hence the mess and soon to be loads of people. its one of the main trading routes. so its a military and caravan camp.

Its pure VX. Of course some tiles are from XP.
As for tiles I am using:
Celianna's

and RTP - re colored.
@Exhydra
Don't expect much with my type of mapping. I set things up in interesting ways while maintaining some sense of realism. at 350 layers I was amazed at the amount of detail I was able to put into this. As for type of military, they are of the army of Sal, this is camp Save. (you learn about all this in the story).
Where are they located?: Just north of the south road and south of a small farming community under siege.
This looks like FFT, is it a SRPG or a TBS?: nope, SBS with FFT inspired maps.

People have touched on most of the "errors" with your mapping. The biggest problem I find in your maps is the balance. In your newest published map, the left side is extremely cluttered with detail while the right feels too empty.

Post by: Adrien on July 22, 2011, 02:12:25 AM
@Sky_Of_Order
Its a complicated process of using scripts to capture the base map, using imaging software to add detail, using more scripts to set one as the walking and the other as the over lay (things you would walk under) and then "blocking off" where the player cannot walk, and redoing the water to make it animated.
It takes me 12-16 hours to do a single map of that size. and 2-4 hours to do smaller maps.
Pub - its finished and populated with people now, older screen shot, but this is what you can expect most indoor mapping to look like - cut off.

This is the end result, with buildings and fences that were made as extra pictures that I imported. They are set to be above the character. In this way, you can technically create a whole game without using a single tileset.
If you use Modern Algebra's Composite Characters / Visual Equipment and Fix Pictures to Map script paired with OriginalWij's Multiple Parallaxed Layers along with BulletXT's SwapXT with perhaps a Parallax Change In-Game script ... you should be able to make anything you want.

I dont like them. They are too blocky and very unrealistic. the trees are all the same and its an eye sore. Your first map has a error at the top where the round trees meet the pine trees. I can tell in some cases you are using events to over lap somethings, and or trees when you should be parallax-ing them as it will allow you to use tools to make it more realistic.
Your grass is too blocky, your river, swamp what ever needs depth, your little mushroom flowers look back in the corners of the river.
Over all you should consider parallaxing your maps as they are too unrealistic, make them smaller because as I look at this all I would do as a player is just follow the path.

As for your maps Adrien, I think the indoor screen is a little too big. I'm also not entirely sure what's going on with those helmets in the top right. Are they sitting on the ceiling tile? The cave looks nice, but I think the lighting is obscuring it too much.
Post by: Adrien on July 25, 2011, 01:08:15 AM
Not everyone's a parallax mapper, and not all maps have to look hyper-realistic. I think he's done a pretty good job with the mack tiles aside from the errors. Not sure why there are random places with inner cave tiles though. I also think the river should be expanded more in some places.
As for your maps Adrien, I think the indoor screen is a little too big. I'm also not entirely sure what's going on with those helmets in the top right. Are they sitting on the ceiling tile? The cave looks nice, but I think the lighting is obscuring it too much.
The indoor is actually good enough for the size of the building on the out side - that is if you saw the town map. - they were suppose to be above the books, but I may remove them as your right it looks off.
The lighting just needs to be toned down a bit.

and the clash of tiles are horrid. You have Celianna's custom vx tiles, and the same time you use xp cave o_O? Their style and color dont even match ... it's horrid, really.
And I'm not the fan of the mini map you are using either ... its simplicity does not fit well in your "colorful" map at all. Just take the mini map out :/
Post by: Adrien on August 03, 2011, 05:48:17 AM
- I actually spend a lot of time out side and see just how much nature puts the bam in the word detail. From the various colors and clashing of colors (because of people planting things that spread) to everything.
-You just throw shit down and say its a map... I have actually had that said. Um no. Like I said I take long walks most of the time and I pay attention to how say plants are with trees and what grows where. my maps can take 30 minutes to 30 hours. like that forest. These things are carefully planned to bring a life, a mix of color to make the color pop and a sense of realisim. At most I never leave with less then 50 layers while the forest was 550 (most trees) the idea is that I aim high, too much is better then nothing at all, and while some spots yes it could be toned down - i think it really makes the map more realistic.
- Clashing - I disagree heavily with you on thing I think the tiles flow perfectly together and have yet to (besides you) be told other wise. How ever I thank you for your input on that.
-- These pink trees you see every where are not cherry blossoms. they are trees that keep the forests alive with magical essence. - its explained in game.
- Not every one - like you - will like my maps, you hate them because they "lash" and are "unrealistic with you throwing things down" that's ok. I take all forms of feed back and appreciate it and thank you for taking your time to care.

honestly, I dont' see where aurelia is coming from, I think Adrien's maps are pretty tits (for lack of effort to find a better word), except that sometimes, the interior objects seem to not make sense (skewed table, sacks in the outcropped corner, random papers on the floor of what appears to be a somewhat public library), although I am sure there was some reason fro the table, as it is above a ruffled carpet... but I would figure that normally, a guild hall would be kept in better order...
EDIT: pac is gonna be pissed... He missed top billing again...
There is a reason down in the guild hall -> There moving furniture in and out and out of up stairs. youll find out why in game
When mapping, your first and foremost thought should be "Is this map straight-forward and easily navigable by a player". If you have tons of clutter and trees overhanging your path, your player will have a hard time navigating through it. You're not just making pretty pictures. The maps have to be practical in a game setting.
I dont make pretty "pictures" if i wanted to i would use paint. LOL. I make worlds. in the real world your going to have sections of bush where its like "Can i pass through that?" turns out you can.

- Clashing: I'm talking about the cave interior tileset, the xp tiles. The outer cave is toned down, so it doesn't clash but the interior cave, which is just randomly took out of XP tiles without any sort of edits, should NOT be used. Celianna tiles and Xp tiles have very different color feel, that anyone would notice.
- When I say you just throw stuffs to make a map, I mean it. It doesn't matter how much time you spent outside looking at the real world, if you wanna make a nice map, like a nice drawing, you have to know which detail should be included and which should not be. When I look at your map, I see a mixed pot of detail, in a map this small, overdetail will kill it. It's nice to look at a game's details and admire how much time the developer had spent on the map, but in a map like yours, I would just sprint through toward next map because all the trees and the plants actually hurts my eyes. It's not beautiful.
- And the pink tree, they are fine if they bring such purpose.
- One more thing I think I should address, that is your battle background, especially the battle screenshot you showcased. It ... it's just ... I don't know what to say except for "get rid of it". Games using maps as battleback only if the battle actually look like it took place on the map. A few random dudes flying on top of a mountain in a battle? I don't think so.
Or if you wanna keep as-is, at least get a battle floor. Think of Fire Emblem. Your current battleback is ridiculous :(
And regarding your reply to Strike, just so you know, what you know about the game is not what the player knows. You might know how to navigate through your maps, but lots of ppl might not, you can't tell for sure with so much detail. Besides, lots of bugs might popped up, which is totally out of your control.
So, a sarcasm like "I'm just the game maker what do I know" is not the smartest thing to say ;)

That said, Adrien, you might want to consider designing an event system that allows the player to hold down a button to show an arrow above his head (and above everything else). Since it would be controlled by the player, the only time it would interfere with how the map is used would be when the player needs it. It would be a simple way to overcome the substance of these objections and would only interfere with the atmosphere you want to create when the player would otherwise become frustrated.
I agree that the battlebacks should be changed to at least include a Battlefloor. I also agree that there is a bit of clash between the dullness of the XP tiles and the vibrancy of the new ones, but I felt that was allayed by the dimness in the second cave (though I would agree there is clash in the first cave screen).
Anyway, it's ultimately your decision what goes into your game and, while it would improve my experience as a player if you follow them, feel free to reject any of these suggestions.

in the real world your going to have sections of bush where its like "Can i pass through that?" turns out you can.
The real world has width, length, and depth, or x, y, and z if you will. You're dealing with a 2-dimensional environment. All we have the work with is width and length, or x and y. In your fourth map, there are few visible paths, and at one point it looks completely boxed off. That is just bad design.
Not to say that your maps are bad, in fact I rather like them. More detail is always good in my book. But when the detail starts hampering the experience, well, then we have a problem.
That being said, good luck with your game. I personally would like to see the finished product. Just take it easy, dude. A lot of people here know a thing or two about mapping and they're trying to help. Listen to them and quit with the attitude.

He wanted compliments.
Nope but thanks for insinuating such things. ::)
I think the maps are pretty beautiful personally, and I think most of them are functional; the last map is the only one where I think navigation might be a problem for the user. However, I also think that, in-game, it would not be a big problem since the maps are designed in that platform style; any player should surmise that it was passable simply by virtue that there is something on the other side. I personally don't like that platform style of mapping he has developed, but it would make sense to analyze the functionality of a map based on the style as a whole - the primary reason a large visual barrier would frustrate me in a game is because it would be indistinguishable from other large visual barriers that aren't passable (since that is usually how 2D games like this limit map size). I could imagine it would be less of a problem where the mapping style largely eliminates impassable visual barriers.

thank you for your feed back and input. How ever as stated the battle backs will not be changing. the mini map system was in place to show where players could and could not walk - but after discussion in other forums where I am no longer welcome (but frequent) - I took out the mini map system. I also disagree on the clashing but again that's your opinion and that's cool too.

With all that said - espeially the last poster.
If I went through and took out all the things you guys hated, made the maps the way you say they should be made based on your own mapping style and how you think things should look, 1) I would never get anything done as I would be too busy trying to appease all of you and 2) The game would not be my own.
That being said I do appreciate the feed back and criticisms and weather it looks like i take it or not is up to you and how you read forum text. I do not come only for compliments, I come to see what people say and I experiment and try things out and play with new techniques and what not. How ever in the end - What I do with my game is what you do with yours, in the end you have to be happy with your product and you know that your doing something right when you have a few "haters"
with that said (again) - Thank you all for the criticisms, hate, flames, compliments, suggestions, ideas and what not.
Somethings that will never change in this game and should be better left to die:
- Battle backs - personally i think it gives you a unique way of looking at the world
- General Mapping Style - It lashes, its overly detailed, its "not realistic" its "tiles thrown like a howler monkey throws feces" its what ever you want to call it - how ever, I did take not of what some people are saying and will apply some techniques.
Thanks For all your feed back, comments, concerns, criticisms, suggestions and compliments

Again I would like to point out that you do not appear to have battlebacks at all, instead opting to have your fight superimposed over the map behind it regardless of whether or not it makes any logical sense where your characters or their opponents are standing.

Battle backs - personally i think it gives you a unique way of looking at the world
the map you see under the characters is the battle back

We are on topic, you moron... You're just trying to derail us from asking why you even bother posting here...
As a quick note, I would like to say that maybe you are not welcome at those other forums because you are an arrogant jackass who doesn't take criticism at all and that even if everyone told you the same thing and it was universally accepted that you should change something, you would say, "Well, thanks, but fuck off, because I don't want to change anything."

never said I didn't. as stated before I have already taken some of the feed back and applied it to new maps.
It Was never nessacery for you to change your maps or take crap from any of theses people, you chose too.
They are right - If your maps confuse the hell out of me, i (among others) will discard it, because it is an RPGMaker game and they are a dime a dozen. Dont Change your mapping style because they said so, or for whatever crappy reason. Keep them all uniform, even if uniform is Cluttered.
And just because it worked else where doesn't mean you can pull it off.
That map looks really good, just sayin.

can you just decide what you want to say?
I mean, you give reasons for him to change it, and give no concrete reason for him not to change it other than he shouldn't have to. I wanna say this: You make a game not for yourself, but the audience. If the audience thinks it should be changed pretty much uniformly, it should probably be changed.
That's like saying that Duke Nuken Forever is perfect as it is, people are just "hatin" on it because it isn't how they like it. Well, when it comes down to it, that may be right, but when it comes to video games, that is the whole point. You play them because they appeal to you, not because they confuse the heck outta ya or because the creator really liked how it turned out.

@adrien: That's one great map, dude. Less cluttered than the forest one. I have to ask you though, is there a transfer event on the bottom middle part (the one with the flowers spread on the ground)? It looks like you can go there.
@mango:
For the first map, you did a great job with the lighting :D
But...something's off with the top of those pillars. There are little bits jutting out, are those supposed to be there?
For the map with the stairs. The huge statue is a nice touch and is that a dead chocobo I see on the stairs?
The forest map is awesome! The rain and the fog all add up to the creepy ambience. Great job! :D

Yo, I've just edit the pillars from that map. It looks a lot better! Yes that's a dead chocobo on the stairs. There is going to be a lot of dead chocobo's in my game!
I'm trying to make my maps have a better atmosphere and realistic. Stay tune for more of my maps!
@Professor Holkeye:
I definitely agree with you! The sprites does seem a little off. I'll try and make my sprites have more realistic color on them. Thanks for the feedback and advice! :)
I'll figure something out! XD
@cozziekuns:
Thank you for the feedback. I'll shall recolor my sprites have more realistic color on them. You're not the only person who said about the statue. The statue does crashes but I'm still looking for a better statue to fit the map. Maybe I should recolor the statue and make it darker?
I'm so sorry for my bad grammar!

I did not make the art for any of the cards and the reason everything is black with white borders is because I am not an artist and I suck at making hud designs (I just wanted to code a card game). If there's any artists out there who wants to make cards for a simple card game, let me know.

( Actual Night Lighting )
Also, unless there is a full moon, there will not be shadows as are currently displayed on that map. In fact, they would be different than before due to the different angles of light sources. Most tilesets are configured for sunny environments as well, and that can work heavily against trying to make a nighttime scene, even with proper lighting.
Anyway, I'm aiming heavily towards realism and slightly nit-picking, so I'll hush up and leave off by saying that there are other ways to offer lighting for your scene. You could easily have light streaming out from the windows of the house, as the windows should be lit. A little bit of blur and perhaps illuminate a bit of the ground and there you go.

And airconiditioners and stairways ontop of buildings. Garbage cans and street lights. You can do it! What you have currently is a good start.
I didn't think of air conditioners, nor garbage cans, for that matter... The street lights I was already thinking of though... But the garbage cans I come up with don't look right... and the air conditioners... I'm trying to a central air kinda exterior unit... and it isn't going too well...
EDIT: yeah, as for the graves, I wasn't sure if they'd be neat and even if the whole point was that the people died from a pandemic and graves became more along the lines of a place to bury people, not a way to respect them...

The reason there are different colors (as will be explained better later) is because they are color coded.

Since I've been giving a lot of critique but haven't ever posted a screenshot, here's a tiny WIP map + tileset for a little project I'm working on.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi53.tinypic.com%2Fe9cgv7.png&hash=4fc73323e0c46c4574021b9ebcd634677345b7f9)
I was going for a desaturated, dark and gloomy atmosphere, like something you would see out of a post-apocalyptic game. Right now, I think that the main problems in my map are:
- The "mountains", which look like giant pieces of poop.
- The sand, which is too bright and needs a recolour (specifically the bright speckles that poke out at the player's eyes).
- The balancing on this map, which is too one sided (this is for a Turn-Based Strategy). The player on the left island can launch a two-pronged attack as they have two entrances onto the main island, while the player on the right island only has one method of entering (an extremely narrow chokepoint), thus giving the player on the left island an enormous advantage.
The problem is how should I fix the balance. If I were to create a second bridge from the right island connecting on the main island, where should I build it? Or should I just give the team on the right island a huge advantage? Or is it ok as it is, and should it just be an easy win for the player (left side)?
Note that this map is designed to be played using only land units; there are no aerial or sea units, which is why holding the chokepoints is such a mega-giga deal. And both players begin with a set amount of units, so they can't just build meatshields to hold their chokepoints before they have enough funds to bust in and take down the opposing team.
But before making any changes, I'd like to hear your opinions on the map. What should I change in the tileset (if anything), and how can I make the map a little more balanced, without sacrificing it's aesthetic value?
EDIT: A couple more things you should know. Forests (both the evergreens and the dead forests) give a defense bonus of 2 (which means any unit on a forest takes 2 less damage), and mountains are impassable.

(the numbers above the dotted lines are how many pixels are between the edge of the bar and the centre line (which I made based on the middle of the characters)
Based on that, Emit's character graphic should be moved to the left 2-3 pixels, Levious' 5-6, and Enix's 2-3. Keana is centred already.
It's not a huge deal, of course, but I did find it noticable. There's also a lot of empty space. It might help to just double the size of the sprites, I don't know.

Here is an idea replace the sprites with their face graphics then put their sprites in the bottom right corner of the face graphic.
The sprites are the face pics. This is how I am doing face pics through out my game. I hate the typical face pics and would rather show the sprites.
@Adrien - I don't mind the colour coding, but the positioning is kind of off (the centres are off). Some of it is probably intentional, like the class right-oriented and the names centred, but the positioning is noticably off between the characters and the stats, like:

One: Thats the scripts doing the "off setting." I have tried to figure out how to change them and am Still working on it - how ever it may be a permanent thing.
Two: Some one mentioned color coding being an issue - That will be explained in an upcoming blog post and update to the Game War of the Souls, Soul Cry.
Three: Indenting is also done by the scripts, not by me. I do plan to have a hand cursor their when I can figure out how to globally replace the cursor with one of my own.
Four: Indenting of classes is done on purpose.
I hope that answers all questions/comments/concerns - if not please post any other questions/comments/concerns
I love the controversy and anger this game creates in some people across all forums. Makes me know I am doing something right :D
Post by: modern algebra on August 13, 2011, 07:21:07 PM
If not though, that is a weird problem for a script, as it is not hard to centre a graphic. You should post it in the Scripts board and have someone fix it.

The indenting is retarded and more people concern themselves with the aesthetics of something more than you think. Center the "Lv", "HP" and "MP" to the center of the bars. It looks god awful the way it is.
Two: Some one mentioned color coding being an issue - That will be explained in an upcoming blog post and update to the Game War of the Souls, Soul Cry.
Three: Indenting is also done by the scripts, not by me. I do plan to have a hand cursor their when I can figure out how to globally replace the cursor with one of my own.
Four: Indenting of classes is done on purpose.
I hope that answers all questions/comments/concerns - if not please post any other questions/comments/concerns
I love the controversy and anger this game creates in some people across all forums. Makes me know I am doing something right :D

This would /not/ be a hard thing to fix if you asked someone with the template as TDS so kindly suggested.

I think the distance between the bars is uneven too. The level and hp bars are further apart than the hp and mp bars.
This would /not/ be a hard thing to fix if you asked someone with the template as TDS so kindly suggested.
The bars were done in illustrator and I checked the distance - they are evenly placed. Do you mean the bars behind the hp/mp? they are not actual bars just "decoration." They are also evenly spaced (according to illustrator) one above the other.

Did you really have to quote something that large.
Any ways: Ya shallowlistic (yes I just made up that word) people who don't are about usability and only want something that looks nice. (cough Windows Vista cough).
I take all criticism. I may not apply it :P but I take it :D. They are (as mentioned) not bars, just decoration. as They are dented 2-5 px's in from the sides (may be changes as I dont like where mp, hp and lv sit that close to the edge).
Moving such minor details around like hp, mp and level is harder then you think because A) i know nothing of ruby so its a good, slow learning process and B ) The way it is sripted, moving one element requires you move the number associated with the label (so if I move Hp I also move its number) which is retarded and a poor way of doing things.

For someone who puts a ridiculous amount of detail in each map, I'd think you would care about the look of something a player has to see constantly over and over again throughout the game.

And for some reason, the Lv bar looks different to the HP and MP bars. If you swear they're the same distance apart, it's something else. :S
Post by: firerain on August 14, 2011, 09:07:32 AM
The player will spend more time in the menus than anywhere else in the game. Make them not hate it.Not capitalized and a smaller font size compared to HP and MP. It was bothering me too.

Especially when you consider that most games have a linear play style and many places won't be visited ever again (in the case of dungeon areas) or only used to find that one plot point or hidden item that was designed to send the player back to a certain city

The very tip of the banner appears to be touching the ground. I'm not sure if this is the intended effect, but to me that is what it looks like. The banner is around two tiles high and the walls are certainly two tiles high. If you are after the effect of a hanging banner, I would suggest using a smaller graphic or increasing the depth of the map downward.

Unless the effect is a banner that touches the ground, in which case, the banner is perfect as is, in my opinion... Of course, again, this is all based on assumptions on the intended effect.
Post by: Aurelia on August 21, 2011, 08:57:32 AM
@Adrien: You should have the shadow for the ceiling.
I dont understand, in some maps you overdetail it and in this this screenshot it lacks detail so much o_O? The overshadow may cover the map overall, but what's with the inconsistency?

Post by: Sashikinaroji on August 21, 2011, 05:00:57 PM
@Sashikinaroji: The flag should touch the ground, as it is about the height oh the wall.
The whole thing was, we didin't know if that was his intention, or if it was an accident, because the idea of a banner touching the middle of the floor doesn't make much sense... However, if it wasn't correct, he would be able to fix the issue.

Another thing that I'd like to point out is how you put fruit icons on trees. Don't.
Maybe you're trying to portray that the tree has fruits growing on it but they just don't fit in.
The maps look good though. Good luck with your project!
P.S.-You might want to look through your maps carefully again, there might be more mapping errors.

And another is, the pidgeon on the bottom right seems like it's swimming instead of flying. Try adding a shadow below it to emphasize that it's flying. And apologies for my bad grammar, English ain't my first language. ;8

Thanks for pointing out the pigeon errors, Rin. Because they were set to fly above everything, I thought the top one would be over the waterfall. I'll have to see what I can do about that, as well as adding a shadow of some sort. ^.^;
I would suggest opening up the pigeon set in paint with the shadow from RMVX system files. That way, you can stretch the canvas, say 3x, then place a shadow at the bottom of each section. That way, the shadow is part of the tile... although, that also means that it will always be there and at that same location... which shouldn't be a problem if you keep the original too for scenes that call for no shadow.

@adrien - I really, really enjoy looking at your inner shots, though you do like to use plants to fill space, don't you? Maybe add other decorations instead? You're doing parallaxing so there's no tile limitations - you can afford to branch out a bit. Also, there's a small error in the castle pic - you fogot a side cliff part. I agree with bioteam about the width of the castle needing to be adjusted. Don't move the roof, just the side ramparts and towers a little. Otherwise it looks good.
@Acolyte: I like it, though I think adding some snow on the roofs of the houses would make them seem more a part of the map as opposed to just being stuck on. Also, a bit of snow overlapping the bottoms of the houses - again to make them seem like they're not just floating above the snow. Otherwise, it looks very nice. ^.^

User Input cutscenes. No more continuous reading either. Text can be easily skipped through by pressing and hold [SHIFT].

Now it is a bit lighter, but for some reason it is still not right. If you look at the other pics, you'll see that they have much darker shadows, but that the colors and shape of the grass remains intact (something you don't see on the lighter, grey shadows)

Mm...you do have a point there. I'll fix it immediately.
all your shadows clash with eachother...
So I have been re-mapping some stuff for War of the Souls, Soul Cry. As chapter 0 comes to a close I have a couple remaps of some common areas. It should be noted that:
I have a HP vs19b monitor so while these look dark on my lap top monitor, on my second monitor they look perfect, as it is a HD monitor meant for watching movies and TV shows.

These look really beautiful on my second monitor but very dull, lifeless and dark on my main monitor.

@ardien: One thing I think needs adjusting is the thickness of your walls. They have no depth to them... at all. They're like, four pixels thick - this means they're one brick thick - not very good if someone with a battering ram runs up and pokes them Castles had reinforced walls so that if they got struck by something they'd be a little dented but not damaged and surrounding walls were even thicker to keep occupying forces out. Add a walkway for the soldiers who need to man the walls and you'll also add some depth so the walls look more realistic. Just a suggestion. Otherwise it all looks pretty nice.
note the WIP....The walls will be as thick as the castle walls you see extended out from celinas castle.
as for the harshness of the edges, I dont plan to change these for I like the look of it, but thanks for your input.
This is a concept....Still not done, I want to extend the castle more and make it more....grand...I still want to put towers on the gate house.
Should I have people standing on the walls like that? they will be static, non moving....
Spoiler for:
Post by: SirJackRex on September 29, 2011, 08:44:26 PM
The sentry on the upper right-hand wall is half-obscured by the tower. It looks strange. My advice is to extend that side of the bulwark by one column. You should also add an additional column to the right of the tower; this will make the fort symmetrical. Fortifications are usually built to a high degree of symmetry.
The castle lacks proportion. It seems huge, but isn't really (unless it's actually incredibly dysfunctional). The bulwarks dwarf the smaller towers and appear ostensibly larger in size than the facade. RPG Maker VX is particularly great at diminishing scale and proportions, so I'm not sure that there's any easy alternative to this unless you want to make enormous maps for properly proportioned objects.

The heights in this piece are more screwed up the more I look at them. ^.^;
There's wall height issues, discrepencies with the water heights (look at he bridges tot he right. They both have the same height of shadow, showing they're the same height above the water when the top on is on a higher level than the bottom one.) To fix this at least a little I'd add three tiles of height to the back wall where it meets the water (that 3 x 32 pixels). Then I'd drop the shadow of the top bridge down on or two more tiles and get rid of the raft altogether. (The wooden platform above the boat.) Then I'd add a 'drop off' to the right side where the houses are so that the bridge there is actually on the right height. As it stands things are really odd.
Also, the cutout part on the left doesn't fit. All you'd be able to see from that angle (supposing that the water is all one height) would be more wall.
A quick mock-up.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi52.tinypic.com%2F2z6dwg2.jpg&hash=2fd3d8751bc1161e928d215dce210028094f1d82)
The easiest way to do heights is to set the bottom tile. In this case the water would be the lowest point. The highest is the wall. Each time you add a height make sure it's added all across the board. When you look at a part try and figure what tile height it would be. For example, in my mock-up the bottom most bridge is two tiles in height. Water = 0 and the two tiled walls are +2. The outer walls begin on +2 tiles and end at +6.
Or that the floor starts at 0, the wall takes it up to 4 and the water is at -2.
Hope this helps a bit and that I haven't gotten you all confused. ^.^;

Seriously, though. Darker shade of the blue used - how mountains in the distance look blue-grey in color.
This reminds me of a certain game where you had small square people and you had to stack them. It was a platformer too. I think it was called Spic or Spik. Something like that (it was on the old RM2K4 board)

once you go black...I'm actually reworking the death to make it more interesting, but I don't think I want the music to continue. That's more of a thing that trial and error paltformers like Super Meat Boy do where you're supposed to die every three seconds. I don't think deaths would have as big an impact in games like Super Mario Bros, Cave Story or Mega Man if the music continued. It's like everything comes to a hault and then starts over again. I guess. I dunno. Whatever.

You're acting like one of the people we all bash, Irock. You have something you like, and a bunch of people tell you it would look better a different way. You get super-sarcastic, then you say 'fuck you guys, it's staying'
I looked at a few screens, and I saw that the colors in Megaman 6 in the level you were talking about were much brighter, which is why the flat black worked there better than it works in your game, where the colors are pastel.
So, to make it mesh better, your two best bets would be to change the black to a lighter color, or make the color more vibrant.
Post by: Malson on October 03, 2011, 02:47:56 AM
If this is what you're referring to, then it makes sense because 1. there's far more detail, 2. the shadows are outlined in a way that shows the light is hitting them, even if only a little bit, and 3. black is a common shade in the other aspects of the scene, not just the background.
If not, then I dunno lol. I'm just saying flat black looks weird, especially when you compare it to like, the shadow on the trunk of the tree. But I think I've beat the horse long enough.
Post by: Irock on October 03, 2011, 03:11:18 AM
Malson, more detail in the tiles? I don't see how that would make a simple black background work better. I think it looks fine without the red shading (http://i.imgur.com/YCr64.png).
I've changed a lot of things about my game upon the common request of players, but the only people who seem to think I should make my silhouette brighter are a few people here. I've had more people tell me it looks fine black, and amongst those people are good artists and game designers.

I guess I can understand that, but in Mario you get a continue screen for a second or two. this you just sorta respawn like a trial and error platformer. so it feels like the flow is being unintentionally broken. maybe just a "fade out game over fade in" would help it be less like a break in the flow. but hey it's your game.once you go black...I'm actually reworking the death to make it more interesting, but I don't think I want the music to continue.

(from here on down this is personal opinion and not actually critique as I understand it's not actually that difficult I just suck at indie platformers) I think quite a few of the jumps (specifically the one tile or death on either side jumps) in the demo are sort of dickish, especially with the knockback and the lava leading to dying over and over. I am not an indie platformer player and i know that stupid precision jumps are the "cool" thing but it's rather fucking obnoxious when I keep dying and having to hear the same 15 seconds of song over and over and over.

The niches on the sides of the second floor look bizarre without a wall on their north face.
Do you have an aversion to symmetry? Why is the center misaligned and too wide? Fix that. No human designs layouts with off-center objects in main walkways. This is bold because you seem to ignore rectifying these egregious decisions.
The chandeliers look odd. I'd maybe make them transparent. I don't know about the shadows; they could help quite a bit.

I made them 65% opacity...The shadows I am talking about are the ones along the walls, the straight black lines to give the walls depth.....

Basically, this illustrates your 'aversion to symmetry' that Mr. Burns mentioned (that you seemed to somehow not read). The ellipse at the bottom, there is more space on the right than there is on the left. This is once again illustrated with the two lines directly above it. The two ovals about center of the image mark the plants that they encompass, showing that they are at different heights on the map.
The two lines at the top show that the right side of the map is about 1 tile wider than the left. The more circular outline shows where a niche should be, but isn't. The rest of the lines show things that should be aligned, but aren't.
Also, your shadow placement makes it seem like the light is coming only from the left, when really it's coming from pretty much everywhere. I also think the door on the lower right needs some re-evaluating, it would seem much better if its handle were on the other side.
Keep in mind that most of this is nitpicking, but it really makes your game look better.

Not really relevant to the screenshot, but a word of caution: put less emphasis on the word "fable." I'm pretty sure it's trademarked, and if you have aspirations of this game becoming popular, it's something to consider.
Post by: Ryosis on October 06, 2011, 01:03:33 PM
Whoa, that's beautiful, Ryosis. But you see that blue flower/grass thing? Can you put more of it in? Just a suggestion. I think I'd look way cooler. Besides, I can't see it too well with the logo in the way.
You're actually seeing the default long grass auto tile through the logo. It's because of the blend mode, I think.
That is beautiful inded. I especially love the bare trees.
My one nitpick is the lamppost in front of the back bench; it just doesn't seem right. Hmm...You've probably tried this already, but how does it look with the front bench and lamppost pushed back a few tiles and the back bench removed?
... Not sure, to be honest. I actually haven't tried it. I'll go take a look at that right quick.
@Ryosis - Maybe move the back bench down towards the lamppost a little more? Also, what's with the wood pile near the bench? There doesn't seem to be any need for it. All in all, though, it's a lovely map. Great job!
You're right, there is none. Clutter, man. This particular region has been here for a while, shit gets left behind. As for the bench, I've actually tried that in the past, but with the way RMXP is set up I don't have enough available layers. I'm going to give Harry Burns' suggestion a whirl to see if I like it better.
Not really relevant to the screenshot, but a word of caution: put less emphasis on the word "fable." I'm pretty sure it's trademarked, and if you have aspirations of this game becoming popular, it's something to consider.
Sound advice. TBH the title is merely a placeholder until I can think of something more fitting. Haven't had much luck with that. :/

You should make your land masses look more like continents. Right now the main island just looks like a long curved path. Also, vary up the terrain more.
It looks really empty, crampt and bad....I suggest as others have stated to make it look more like a continet, more like and island and more detailed. this is why i do not do world maps in my games

Yep, I know! Island is big, but the planet is very large. More than the Earth six times. So such a large island. Over the mapping in the island, I'll still be working.
Sorry for my bad English.
It's actually a very small island... Very small (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg695.imageshack.us%2Fimg695%2F4612%2Fduggeh25823.gif&hash=46b4ac3c334cc33850cde2116aab3b8846268bee) Your hero could trek the entire thing in less than 2 minutes (not including random encounters). The problem isn't that the island is too big, but that it is very plain. When he said "a long curved path" or whatever, what he meant (I think) was that it was something to be fixed, as such a setup didn't make sense.
Post by: Heretic86 on October 20, 2011, 08:43:10 PM
It fails totally to convey that it is a LARGE island, as has been stated, but you're breaking rules of your own map. Snow on an island in the middle of the island, beach sand island within sight of another edge that has no sand, etc. A much much larger map can provide the opportunity for the natural transition from a warm climate to a freezing climate. But walking for two minutes, one cant simply get from the tropics to the arctic.
Post by: minimog on October 21, 2011, 06:59:14 AM
The island has several points at which the seething little "essence of the lake." Far Ocean, a place where there is an island in itself a mystery. Not yet investigated it. Also, most of the world still has not been investigated. If the set time frame, you get the early Middle Ages.
Sashikinaroji, movement speed on the world map will be slightly slowed down, and the move around by holding shift will not be able.
More information will be added later.

A random map, just testing new tiles:

While I agree that the tiles look cool, the variations in shading and coloring style, as well as individual colors make it look hodgepodge. A lot of the leaves and stuff on the ground don't seem to fit, and I think it's mostly due to the ground looking flat and pale, while the decals are vivid and distinct.

If I could give you one major piece of advice, I'd tell you that you should try to tilt the sprites downward a bit. You should see a bit of the top, and the bottom should be rounded downward. Imagine the game's angle as an angle top down, rather than right on the front.

They just... Don't belong together, it seems... In fact, the entire tileset seems that way,the rocks being a higher resolution than the grass it sat on and more...
Also, the light in the first screen looks like electric light, not firelight. Try giving it a warm hue... Just a slight one...

But honestly I've never made a map using an image editor, only vx, so maybe there's an issue with what I'm suggesting. Even if the objects over the water are somehow hidden, you could event them in or just map them because you could set them to a different TileSet letter.

Your map clashes. Your using XP tiles on a vx map while in some spots it works in other it doesn't Your mix of stones, the ones with the grass on them clash with the ground. The roots are ..... randomly placed and look out of place. Your bright red flowers stick out like a sore thumb - your cave setting looks out of place, as the rest of the cliffs have grass on them, around them but your cave thing does not - the biggest issue I am having here are these roots and stones with moss/grass on them as they clash with the rest of the map - and l0ook randomly placed. - The stones with out grass/moss - work with your trees. (some of the roots on - come out of the - cliff work ONLY if they are coming down from trees around the cliff - like in the bottom part by that ugly red flower - but look odd on there own up at the top of the map).

Your bright red flowers stick out like a sore thumb - your cave setting looks out of place, as the rest of the cliffs have grass on them, around them but your cave thing does not - the biggest issue I am having here are these roots and stones with moss/grass on them as they clash with the rest of the map - and l0ook randomly placed. - The stones with out grass/moss - work with your trees. (some of the roots on - come out of the - cliff work ONLY if they are coming down from trees around the cliff - like in the bottom part by that ugly red flower - but look odd on there own up at the top of the map).
Hmm... I didn't notice the roots. And I thought the flowers were rather pretty, but yes, they do stick out. Still, I think a slight desaturation to the color of them and/or adding them in more places might make them fit better.
The map is very cool-color dominated (except for the little colors in the flower batches) and a touch of warmth would make it lovely, I believe. :)
Yet, that's just my opinion. I still think it's a pretty map, either way. :P

I've removed all the roots and stuff and whatnot in the previous screenshot, thanks Adrien, YuYuBabe.
Here's a village I created. Took a very long time for me to complete.

This is a perfect example of why your map clashes so heavily.
So everything looks fine till you see the houses. they do not belong here at all, they belong in a desert, not in a forested area. There big, clunky and out of place. They do not belong in any way shape or form. Its like sadia-arabia meets the jungle. There is some ruin(s) thing on the road at the bottom, remove it - it clashes badly. The far bottom right the house goes over the edge of the cliff. No. This doesn't work that portion of the house would have collapsed. The road looks fine but why is there grass growing over apart of it by the light post? It doesn't look right.
Your decorations fit, except your statue which looks out place. It looks like you brought this map from photoshop into vx and places stuff on it. No. careful planning. Get rid of the houses, fix up that grass patch on the road and get rid of that ruins thin on the road. Make that "road" on the right hand side under the house look more natural.

Your characters in the first two maps do not need to reflect as there's no water around that is visible
It's raining, though I do agree that the reflections seem un-needed. Still looks cool, I guess.
Post by: Adrien on December 04, 2011, 05:02:58 AM
The first two maps of the rpg maps with inqs tile sets looks stretched and too much. They don't look real, they look "forced." I like your last two maps though
Post by: Zacpower4 on December 04, 2011, 05:54:06 AM
And as for the architecture, the village is supposed to be a sun-worshiping village thus the houses is as such.
I followed your advice nonetheless and hopefully, this is better.
Spoiler for:
@swick: I don't know why you're making a fan-game, it looks really good to be stand-alone.
I really like the light effects in the snowing-screen. It looks great.
As for the other batch of screenshots, it looks equally as nice, just that in the Library map the paintings are slightly behind the bookshelves. You could move them up or elsewhere.

If this crescent stands alone, for example, it would have a much different "naturalness" than if you were to have it connecting to a larger piece of land.
Post by: R.J. on December 16, 2011, 09:35:43 AM
hrm... it seems a bit off... mostly becaue of the area with the second ledge... it just... doesn't seem to mesh... If you were to have the section come out more, it would look more natural, I think, but as it stands now, it just looks too man-made... It's all perfectly vertical... Not to mention that this is only a small section of the map, so I can't really tell how this piece intereacts with the rest of your world.
If this crescent stands alone, for example, it would have a much different "naturalness" than if you were to have it connecting to a larger piece of land.
Well, it's basically just part of a big mountain area. I want to make the second ledge come out more (and possible add more ledges) but the Rm2k chipset doesn't have the necessary tiles for that.
I changed it up a bit so the second ledge doesn't extend to the edge. Does this look better or worse?

Hmmm... I'd say you should add some borders around the health, buttons, etc. I'd also recommned using small decorative graphics nearby, or even making the text more snazzy and decorated. The plain red text against the black background doesn't sit well with my eyes. ;9
On the other hand, I love the buttons and heart graphics! It looks pretty nice so far! As for the mapping, I kinda guessed that was jus for testing :) Your maps come out very lovely. ;8

That's also an incredibly cluttered mockup. Everything is tool big, and too compacted. You don't need so much space for menus. Restrict your menu usage to one area. Have it overlap the actor facesets if you have to, but keep the menus together.
The map box is too small, and that actor is too big and pretty useless.
My mock up is not all that great, but it's not as overwhelmingly cluttered.
Post by: IAMFORTE on December 23, 2011, 02:55:15 AM
Altough i realize that its rm2k3 and the screen size is probably smaller, hence eliminating the clutter present. The pips would i guess show the health from 0 to 100% >.< idk i wasnt to happy about using pips but with an event system its a challenge to do numbers (altough i figured out how to do that). The boxes in the top left corner would be used for displaying soemthign like an action order akin to final fantasy or xenosaga, i havent yet decided if i wanted to implement it or just leave that space blank. The character was for more of an asthetic thing, but it might be a bit redundant now that i think about it. The skill and item menus i planned on implementing were like the ones in the video, but i will defintly consider including them all in one location isntead of makign the user's eyes wander around the screen. I will have another go at this tommorow and put up one that is hopefully less cluttered.

rawrThe back half of the top house is weird. The peaks of the protruding wings should be level with that back, and no it's not a stylistic choice, because the difference is a mere few pixels. The back should also extend to both ends of the house horizontally. Maybe the latter is a result of your tileset, but it's a bit incongruous yes? It really diminishes the perceived depth.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffc01.deviantart.net%2Ffs70%2Ff%2F2011%2F360%2Fe%2F3%2Ftownpart3_by_createdthoughts-d4kc0ic.png&hash=24b1ae89f3d09a6ab7c6786b7be9039d52fd9d28)
And the bottom house: Is it accessible? Even so, it makes little sense for a house's chief entrance to be partially blocked as you have it. The path along the right of it should be clear, because it breaks the suspense of disbelief; why would someone obstruct the only visible/marked entrance to his or her house with a barrel that would force visitors to walk dangerously/stupidly/unrealistically close to a shear cliff?
Now, aesthetics are one thing, but they need to be consistent. The chimney on the lower house's roof is being overgrown, or something, and yet no visible sign of growth occurs on any other part of that house. That pipe running over the house is also ridiculous. Pipes don't run above the roof. It should be completely unexposed and importantly out of nature's way.
The two planters in the clearing behind the bench at the top house is also bizarre. You should keep them all equilateral, or use a single planter for the entire space. Humans rarely use such geometrically inconsistent materials and objects when the house itself conforms to symmetry.
Maybe most importantly, the furnace adjacent the tree is also unacceptable. The roots of a tree that large would wreck the plumbing! Man that's just not good. Think of the mud-ridden shower water. Think of the children.
The crepuscular rays you have on the top layer also look like shit.

What I don't see is how Adrien.'s criticism is exactly constructive. His first post (before he edited it) was just:
Quote from: Adrien
Oh god your floors. The tiles are all inconsistant
And when he tried to be constructive after he edited the post in an attempt to look like a white knight, he ended up being as vague as ever. "Fix your floor tiles", "More tables", "your floors need to go right to the edge", etc. While he may be right, there were a lot of times where he didn't exactly explain how or why something needed a change. To be a better screenshot rater (not that I am a good one by all means), I would advise people to put themselves into the shoes of the mapper. How will my advice be useful to the mapper? Would it be useful at all? Was I too harsh at times?
Rexxy, albiet in a sarcastic and lighthearted yet slightly malicious tone, actually clearly explained what was wrong, what needs to be done and why the new result was better than the original. Something such as "The path along the right of it should be clear, because it breaks the suspense of disbelief; why would someone obstruct the only visible/marked entrance to his or her house with a barrel that would force visitors to walk dangerously/stupidly/unrealistically close to a shear cliff?" is fine to me. Rex clearly states why something is wrong and how to fix it.

you think im a cunt, there's a person on RRR named sailerius who would rip that map to fucking shreds. She/he is not as nice as I was, regardless of what you people think.
Adrien, I can tell you're trying to help, but you are being really abrasive, try to be a bit more polite with your critique, and it'll probably be generally more well received.
Being demeaning and aggressive about critique won't teach anyone anything, it just looks like hazing.
Post by: Sashikinaroji on January 06, 2012, 06:39:23 AM
I don't really see why Adrien is getting so much shit because he's not explaining each point in his 25-point list on exactly what he means. The reasons of what is wrong is obvious to anyone who knows depth and structure, and are simply statements that denote what he sees as errors.
Even if he just posted
Quote from: Adrien
Oh god your floors. The tiles are all inconsistant
It's still just criticism... I'll admit, this is quite a bit worse than what I thought was the "mean comment", but nowhere near what Harry was doing. He was stating fact. His tiles are incredibly inconsistent and they were a glaring error that should have never made it out of photoshop (or wherever DoctorTodd edited this together), while the resulting list that was added were other errors that were not quite as obvious at first.
Point being, I just think that RMRK has changed far from it's days with Billy Bullshot...
Post by: joy on January 06, 2012, 03:28:45 PM
Adrien: You offered a lot of minor, copy/pasting errors, but missed the biggest flaw in the map, you also offered no assistance in fixing the source of the multitude of errors, which I'm certain by your maps you know how to fix. Also..it's his first time, just because someone else would have been harsher, doesn't give you a free ticket either. Chill man, this is supposed to be a helpful thread.
DoctorTodd: The small errors I see everywhere are no doubt just stemming from the fact that you are copy/pasting the tiles from the source set. That's where the tiles are either not lining up right or have gaps. To keep your repeating tiles like floors, walls, grass, dirt, stone, ect perfectly aligned, you should start making use of the pattern stamp tool in photoshop. It's very easy to make patterns in PS, just select the 32x32 repeating tile you will be using, click the "Edit" tab, then select "Define Custom Pattern" A window will come up with a box to name the pattern, and voila! You can now use this pattern seamlessly with either the pattern stamp tool or with the fill bucket (just select pattern instead of foreground). This should allow you to avoid these alignment issues. I also recommend going to Edit->Preferences->Guides grids and slices and setting the gridline to every 32 pixels, this will give you the option of aligning things just like they are in rpgmaker. The gridline is a good visual tool and anything you copypaste will auto align within it if you want. To turn it on/off, just use ctrl+h.
As to the mapping error, Your height is messed up at the door. The ground floor has walls two high, then the balcony above it has walls two high, so any place where there is a wall that doesn't have the balcony should have walls four high, like this:
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv648%2Fjoymason%2Frpgmaker%2FGuilds%2FToddMap.png&hash=9d78c14972fe03c87267c950479799a08f30a1d6)
Also, a critique for Adrien, I really think you need to stop using the airbrush tool to draw in your long grass and dirt. The gradient fade looks unnatural, a patch of long grass doesn't fade into oblivion, it slowly thins out and staggers off.

The stairs up look a little weird, sunken in almost.
I think I understand where that error is coming from... If you look, the steps are only on the wall, making it appear more like a wall decoration than a viable path. If you were to add one more row of stairs above or below the wall lines, it would give it a more three-dimensional shape.
((Also, I would like to say, I am officially done promoting the whole "brutally honest" bit except in extreme circumstances... Mostly because Joy explained a lot of things very nicely in a way that was really helpful... I think that my own past with similar issues left me... Jaded? I think that's the right word... Anyways... I guess there's room for both... if you're careful with the former.))

Some stylistic observations:
You should only use the center tiles for the wood, not the outer-left one. That looks a bit strange, but maybe it's just me.
The table placement is also a bit chaotic; it looks too sparse but kind of cluttered too. You should add more, but don't overdo it, though. Just a few more here and there to create some sort of order and pattern. (A diner should be able to support as many customers as comfortably possible.) The top floor is also nice; I like the tables and candles next to the windows. The lonely bench in front of the fireplace looks a bit out of place, but not necessarily bad.
The candle atop the barrel on the first floor however is kind of stupid placement. I mean, it's there in front of the support beam, and it stands to reason that the candles were placed in the inn before the barrel was, so why isn't in on the support beam like that other beam? I also wouldn't place a flame atop an object in a high-foot traffic area, because it could be bumped, so even though it looks nice it's just not logical in any way.

Any way I was going to add more tables but it seemed to look weird when I did.
If you want to get some inspiration in terms of table placement, go find yourself a local pub somewhere (or something with a similar function). You'll notice that there's not often large open spaces like you have unless that space serves a different purpose - though even then it depends on how regular that space is used for said purpose.
For example, my gran used to run a pub and in one area she had what was set up to be a dining area for serving food. There was definitely more space taken up than free space to move around in, but it wasn't so tightly packed together that you a) couldn't sit comfortable to eat, and b) could move around to serve food and clean up after customers were done eating. But this room also served to be a party room and at this point, tables were brought together to form longer serving tables in which food could be placed on and taken from in a buffet style way.
So whilst it may look a little weird, picture yourself actually running the pub yourself whilst you're making the map. Imagine a busy day where you may be rushing around to collect up empty glasses etc (in which case candles on barrels becomes obviously illogical).
Whilst I'm no mapper myself, I'd think that the best way to go about it would be to get some real world experience. Even if that's looking through google images to find out what certain things might look like. You'll get a good feel for item placement that way.
Hope that helps a little.

I absolutely love that part. I don't know exactly why, though...
Also, I think that there might also be a problem with that window placement... I noticed on the fair left, you have the window hanging off, meaning that it continues straight into the wall... This can be fixed by either placing a left piece of window right before the wall, to make it look like a smaller window, or moving all the windows over, in order to center them on the wall and have four full windows.
However, I DO want to point out an error I found on the second floor that no one else seemed to notice... Your seat... It's on the wall. Or, more accurately, your seat is resting on the window...
At first, I thought I might have been mistaken, thinking the chair might have a back, but then I realized that none of the other chairs did, so it was likely an error...
Other than those small gripes, and what has already been said about trafficking, the floor tile (which, btw, results from the lighter edge originally intended as an outline piece, rather than a part of the middle floor), and the whole "fire hazard" thing...
I love it. Looks good.

What I mean is, while there are several people who posted their battle systems, it was to show how they were arranging their elements and showing off their graphics for criticism. However, since you have already stated that you are going to change the graphics, and any criticims I have revolve around the graphics, you kinda seem to want us to rate your battle system...
That being said, your battle system looks pretty standard, nothing glaringly good or bad about it, but what really falls on it's face are the interface graphics, which clash with your game in ways described the last time you posted a screenshot (on page 116)

Post by: Daria on January 13, 2012, 10:38:44 PM
Not bad, but there are a couple of issues I spotted right off the bat. The house on the top left with the red roof cuts off, which is an architectural choice I don't see very often. The bottom left house with the red roof really needs some work. The middle house's awning needs to be moved down a tile or two since it's kind of on the wall. There's also a perspective issue with the bottom right house.
All in all, it's a damn nice map for your first try. Just work on some of the finer points and you should be good. Oh, and perspective. Don't forget perspective.
Ok I see what you're saying about the awning and the church-y building. (Fixed BTW. Thanks!) But I don't get what you're trying to say about the red roofed houses.

I do have a question about your battle system setup, though, so that we can get a better idea of what is going on there...
I noticed that you have a team, skill and rank switch system... But I ask this: Are those other three spots for other skills (That is, if they learn other abilities than drop kick, would they show up in those empty squares)? or are they for different battle options (such as items, defend and standard attacks)
Other than all that, I would have to say this: I don't think your character and your map sprites really go together... It might be the sharp outlines around the boy character that Mihli is fighting... they don't seem to match the much softer outlines you see on the trees and bushes...
EDIT: Also, Daria, I have to agree, I'm not really sure what the issues are... At least, not the issue with the first one... With the second one, I think I know what he might be referring to as a mistake... It is similar to a style of house I have seen before, but because of your perspective and the length of the roof on the right side, it looks like your building goes like this:
Code: house structure from front [Select]
....___
.../...\
../....|_________
./.....|_________|
..|..............|
..|..............|
which would be kind of strange...

The "team" is used to view skill combos that triggered team attacks. "rank 2" is to view rank 2 skills, which is part of the combo system. Also, yeah, when you learn more skills those blank slots fill up.
As for the character sprites I see what you mean. When I was originally planning out the style I was using the sprite style from FFIV CC as a reference:
Spoiler for:
I'll mess around with the outlines though to make them look softer. Just, without them the characters will look faded into the background. I'll also get started on making different flowers and make the patch less cluttered.

However, the staircase's position is bad. It looks like it ascends into the wall and window, which is also oddly placed (a window behind a staircase even with some space in between appears strange). I think if you change the orientation of the staircase so it ascends horizontally it'll look much nicer, and you won't have a huge chunk of the map impractically used up. That way the window would also function properly and look nice.
I'd suggest extending the vertical kitchen counter to the right to meet the stone flooring as well. Perhaps adding a window to the kitchen area would look nice too. The bedroom doorway is also rather large, though that's not really a criticism.

The fog layer there is a placeholder (unless it serves it's purpose well enough). I needed something to show that there is a magical barrier around the entire town. The water fog, tinted pink, seemed a nice fit.
The first screenshot has my main character posing, just because. You can ignore that.
And for some feedback on previous screens =

No parallaxing, just a tileset add-on of tree groupings. They may look off because of the fog layer?
The shadows are an issue I've been meaning to fix. I like the flowers that close, but due to the tree shadow they end up looking flattened under the tree roots. I hadn't thought to just cut holes in the shadows. ><
There is also an error in that same corner, some of the shadow is missing. I guess I'm remapping some forest paths.

Yep, everyone hates those pauses, even I. Then I saw the battle system in action without the pauses and you basically have no battle system as the spam from all sorts of actions would make the battle system nearly unusable, it's actually far far worse without the pauses if you want to be even aware of what's happening in the screen.

Thank you (:
I think I'm good on the staircases, I found some horizontal one already and actually I think they're the same ones you suggested as I've downloaded resources made by both those artists.
I've decided though not to change the staircase in this particular house, I dunno, it may be architecturally quirky, but not technically wrong. I have added the side stairs to other maps though for some variety. Since I've posted my village I've managed to map 8 out of the 12 buildings I created. Can't wait to move on from houses. XD
I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake by going with XP, seems like a lot of the resource links I'm finding are dead, while VX has an active community. I also like mapping in layers and would have probably been happier with parallax mapping in photoshop.

Edit: Thought this turned out well. Redid the lake area in town, made the water transparent and filled the ground layer with rocks, plants and fish. Also made lobster boat to match Lunarea's fishing boat.

Heretic: Very nice map, man. Plenty of detail without being overpowering. Even better is that I can't find anything really wrong with it. I would tone down the opacity on the fog myself. Not much since I wouldn't want to ruin the atmosphere, but just enough so the player can have some idea of what its hiding.
That aside, I'm still mapping slowly but surely.

Above is an orphanage located in the center of a city experiencing massive urban sprawl. Since no one cares about orphans, I tried to make it look as rundown as I could. Prior to the game picking up steam, the player character lives here and is forced to contend with people who don't much care for his or her existence.

Daria: I like what you've done with the water, it was definitely a creative solution. That said, I think the shore could use a bit more detail so the water itself doesn't overpower it. Also, what's with the hedges by the house?
Agreed on the shore. Was thinking some shells and foot prints/tracks. Maybe even some shore plants/reeds. Also the hedges are currently stand ins made with tree tiles until I either find a nice RTP-friendly resource or draw one myself.
Also love the orphanage, looks appropriately derelict. Something about those barrels looks pasted on though. I think because they mostly line up too perfectly and sit on a tangent line with the bottom of the building.

Amazing script as always TDS, but I'm in the same boat as NAMKOR. You never specified if you were looking for feedback, but if I may, I think it would be a lot more engaging if you gave the player more direct control over the combat.

What do you guys think?I don't mind the darkness and you have a solid start here. Yet, you are missing something very important. The first screen stands for its own. It's a basic cave map, nothing wrong with it. I would like to mention that you miss depth. All the walls go straight down, it isn't natural. Try to do it in layers and build it up to make it look more realistic. This won't only help you in maps such as caves, but also mountain maps. I'll post a map of myself in a second to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.Spoiler for:

The things I don't like would be the light radiating from the crystals and the orbs in the right-down corner. Unfortunately, the water which you spent so long on already existed and is one of the auto-tiles I always use.
As for my own little map, it isn't done yet. This is the small corner that I managed to finish for the most part. I still need to use the event layer to add the last details I can add and some NPC's to give it a good fibe, but I'm pretty pleased with the results so far. Feedback is always welcome :)

Oh! At first I was unsure of what you meant by "depth", but I understand now (if the image you posted was in fact the image you mentioned). I'll get an edited version up and see if its better. I agree about the crystal's light, but I can't seem to get any other color to work with it; purple, red, yellow. Only blue seems to work. Is it the light in whole that is the problem, or the color of the light or how I handled the light?
There was an autotile?! I looked for months and could not find it. :'( Well, at least the spriting it did served another purpose. The version you are using most likely looks better than mine. May I ask for a link to it?
As for your map, I very much like it and would love to see the entire thing finished. (You combined two of my most favorite things; forests/trees and mountains) 8)
I particularly like the top left side of the map, where the cave entrance is. I would totally sit on that log and read if I found a place like that. I have a preference of taste, only, so it is not really a complaint as it looks fine either way, but anyways; for the little trees that are 'weeping' they don't seem to have 'parent' trees around (full grown versions). But again, not really a complaint. :)

But again, not really a complaint. :)Haha, seems like I did a good job at making it look natural. As for the whole thing with the parent tree's, let's just say that the villagers planted those. ::)
YellowPepper: Also a very nice map, but I would personally avoid placing flora on cliff edges. It doesn't look very natural to me. The rays of light are a nice touch, by the way.I studied the placements of the plants after you said that. Fortunately, the roots should be just in the grass zone which clears my ass. Still, I can see that some wouldn't see that at first or second glance, which made me change the borders of the cliffs a little. (There is a tile that has a thinner border/ledge.) Thanks for the compliments btw. Also, about the rays of light; I placed it in an event and made it so that the rays change as time passes. I love natural sunlight! ;D
So, I've been working on the map this whole morning. Finished some details from the map I posted before and then started to work on the while cliff formation. Took me 1 a 2 hours, something like that. They aren't filled in YET, but I guess that I want to see the reactions from you guys. That and maybe some tips or error reports :) (All 3 screens I posted are 1 map. Look closely and you'll see what goes where :D)
Post by: MagitekElite on February 12, 2012, 07:37:22 PM
Yes, you did a great job at it. And you have animated light? That makes the map even better. As for your new map, I like the placement, its a great start. Especially this part here. (http://i39.tinypic.com/212ebur.jpg) Unfortunately, there isn't much to comment on so, my post is flimsy. :-[

That is pretty awesome! :D I only see one thing that is bothering me. The flower-thing at the bottom left corner. Its side is covered. Is it supposed to be?
Post by: Ryosis on February 14, 2012, 07:45:44 PM
YellowPepper: The second map threw me off for a second there, but now that I know it's supposed to be an overhang, I really like the effect. All your maps need now is a little more life.
Post by: Daria on February 16, 2012, 06:43:47 AM
Magitek Elite: It was suppose to have a little grass overlapping, but you're right it looked weird, so I toned it back some.
Ryosis: I don't see how the trees clash, as they're all drawn in the same style with similar color schemes, but the two mirrored trees did look oddly symmetrical, so I covered over the "brighter" tree.
The battles are suppose to take place in this map, hence all the different trees: *linked due to large size* (http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm284/ztakxilef/path.png)

Daria, what tileset are you using? it looks nice :P
It's mostly XP RTP grassland, with foliage and rocks borrowed from all the other outdoor sets. I do a lot of editing and recoloring as I build my maps. In fact I always work with RPGMaker open in one window, and Photoshop in another.
I'm not sure who made the mid-size tree or the water autotile, I need to track down the creators for those.

The more detailed trees? You can find it here (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/528/bishopisland.png/), but I have no idea who made them...
@Daria:
It looks a lot better! Maybe I'm picky, but the grassing over the plant thing was really drawing my attention too much. I like it much better this way! Good work with the clustering & background! ;)

D'aww ... your screenie is the exact reason why I always prefer RMXP RTP :< Though those Tana's tree (at least I think they are) seems a bit out of place since it does not go well with the rest of the tileset. And the upper center of the map, the cliffs on top of each other seems rather funny, and there are white pixels of the background visible here and there.Hmm, I thought they mixed pretty well, but I do get your point. :) Yeah I noticed that too! I think something went wrong while stacking all those mountains... and I noticed the white pixels and I forgot to remove them. :) Thanks for your comments!

MasterHen: First off I wanted to say that I love all the action and details in your maps. NPCs don't just loiter around, they're all doing physically something. That's awesome. That said I did notice a few issues you may want to address.
A desert village.Shadows. They look nice on the NPCs. But you need to commit to either having everything cast a shadow, or nothing at all. Your buildings are shadowless, and the shadows you do have are going in different directions. Pick a single light source, also that plank's shadow (which is going the wrong direction) is also not connecting to the ground, it needs to veer off at an angle as soon as the ground and building meet.
Puddles? In a desert? I know it has to rain sometime but unless this is explained in your story I'd lose them.
A fire cave.I love that your cave appears hot, it mostly has to do with your use of a warm palette, that said you should tint those white crystals with a warmer color like yellow, because right now visually they're giving off a cool light which doesn't fit a fire cave.
And a earthcave.I like this cave, nothing here bothers me. (:

Altough id probably remove the palm trees and replace them with something else, i feel like they don't really belong in a stone desert, also, rain in a desert?
Post by: YellowPepper on February 22, 2012, 04:26:09 PM
If you create a stone desert, make it a stone desert. I kind of see a lot of life in this "stone-desert', taking that sandy feeling away from me. Don't be afraid to let the player see a lot of ground tiles. Some tilesets require you to do so and this is one of them. The rain.. what IAMFORTE said.
Hope this was helpful,
Guido ;)

The diagonal bricks on the lighthouse aren't at the right angle. It looks like the sides are sunken in or something. Otherwise it looks fairly decent. I like the water color.Yea, you're right. I've changed that too. It should be alright now. :) Thanks for your feedback!

Sure, that's the angle that the bricks should appear to be, however, they should still have the sides going perfectly vertical, or else you lose the illusion of depth. THAT'S why it still doesn't look right!~
(that took me far too long to figure out... yeesh...)

They all look so Good, I especially like the blured one, i assume you have a fancy sound effect to go with the transition to blur?
Well, the blur is just the menu background. :P Marc modified the default create_menu_background method to look a little bit nicer (in his opinion; I tend to agree). So no, right now, there's no fancy sound effect; and considering the player will be going to their inventory often, I doubt that I would want one. Right now, it's kind of a muted "click" noise, which seems to work well.
There are other portions of the game wherein the actual game screen is blurred or distorted, however; those are accompanied by some fancier sound effects and "music" (in quotes because I'd hardly call it that, but meh). I didn't see the point in taking screenshots of those sections, though, since the blur and distortion tends to make it difficult to see things properly (which is the whole point of those segments).

Ok, still plugging away at my own game. Think I'm getting better with elevations and buildings. This is suppose to be an academy, at the top of a hill, the pink is actually a panarama ingame. I also flat out drew the scalloped flags, and cobbled together the railings and road, as well as recolored a lot of elements.

Beyond those little problems, though, the map looks very nice. The layering in particular works well for me, and the banners and such are a nice touch. :)
Oh, one more thing that I just noticed: I'm not sure the depth of the roof lines up correctly across the front of the building. Take a look at the front portion (the part that sticks out the most) in relation to how the balconies protrude, then all of that in relation to the sides of the building. The perspective just seems really off to me when I look at it closely. I could be totally wrong, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
And thank you for the comments on my screenshots, I'm glad to know that everything seems fitting. We were a little concerned that it might be too dark, but no one has commented on that, so we're feeling a little better about it now. :)
Post by: Daria on March 08, 2012, 10:13:47 PM
To Daria: I agree with IAMFORTE about the building seeming too close to the cliff edge. Looks like the back of the building would be hanging off the side, which is... technically possible, but doesn't seem too smart. :P Honestly, I'm also wondering about the balconies on the building; it doesn't look like there's any way to access them, so I'm wondering why they are there (besides aesthetics, I suppose).

To Nessiah: Yes, one game we're working on at the moment is a psychological horror game with adventure-style gameplay and puzzles. As for your screenshot, I love the tone of it and the subtle lighting; the only thing that really sticks out to me is the frayed red banner. Seems awfully ornamental given the surroundings. I also can't comment on much of the rest of the map, considering it's obscured by Ralph's (awesome!) face graphic. :P

Nah seriously, It is just supposed to draw in a different direction, thus the function is broken.

Two things notes: The sub-menu text and character name gradients are become too white; looks washed out to me. I also question your use of roman numerals for levels, as that could get a little unwieldy.
Otherwise I like the composition.

Looks really nice, by visual blood do you mean like call of duty? If so dang it... :mad:Yes, pretty much exactly. Basically, as you take damage, the screen gets "bloodier" until it starts to "crack." Once it gets to the cracking point, you're just about done for. ;) We just didn't want any of the standard numeric ways of seeing how much health or mana you have in-game, so we're using a few different methods of doing things. (Marc is going to release a number of the custom scripts we're using, by the way, if anyone wants any of them.)
By the way, something not shown in any of the screenshots is that character graphics also change based on the amount of damage that's been dealt to them for both enemies and allies, so you can also keep track of the health of your allies by watching and healing them when they're visibly wounded or when a message comes across the banner to alert you that their health is getting low. Enemies will also start defending more and run away when their health gets low. :)
Honestly, though, a lot of the design choices are because the game focuses almost entirely on a single character. So really, he's the only one who has an inventory you can access, equipment you can change, and he's the only one you can control in combat. The other members of your party are entirely AI-controlled. That's why Marc originally started modifying the VTP ABS: the ally and enemy AI was too simplistic, and there were just too many features sucking up processing power that we weren't going to use for the game we're making.
They all Look so good :3Awww, thank you. :3 We should probably post some of what it looks like with all of the fanciness disabled for good measure, though. (We still think it still looks preeetty good, by the way.) :P

sorry but having a number for health makes games better and deaths less ambigous because you know exactly how much health you have left.Which also makes for a relatively comfortable gaming experience. We're aiming for it to be more ambiguous, but not frustratingly so... if that makes sense. "Better" is a relative term, as well; I (Eden) like games that keep me guessing more in terms of my condition, as it makes me more on-edge about potential encounters. If others don't feel as though these systems work well for them, though, we'd certainly consider changing it back to a numeric system; after all, we want other people to enjoy what we make, too. :)
I just don't really agree that a number for health automatically makes a game better. That depends on what the game is trying to do, don't you think?

Post by: Fall From Eden on April 04, 2012, 05:53:26 AM
I think it's a good idea, are you also doing it by health percentage? I'm trying to write a script with a different graphic every five percent of the characters health.Marc: It's done by percentage based on the number of HUD graphics defined in the script's module. So if five graphics are defined in the module, it shows one graphic per 20% of health with each graphic starting at 0% opacity and moving to 100% opacity as that graphic reaches the minimum number of its specified percentage range. If the designer specified ten graphics in the module, a new graphic would start to fade in for every 10% of health drained.
Essentially, for five graphics in the module, a health of 125/200 (or 62.5%) would show the picture for 75%-100% damage at 100% opacity while the picture for 50%-75% opacity would be shown at 50% opacity. :)

which i guess is your point, but there's a reason stuff like dead space and resi 4 and 5 have health bars now.

I finally have something nice to show...
my map window that I scripted all by myself (that's the real shocker, there since I'm such an RGSS noob) I've still got some work on it to do but as of right now, it functions almost exactly how I wanted it to complete with reading data off of map notes. Woo me! I guess all that time of C#, VB and a few other programming languages helped out in the end XD

How much of that is generated by the script, by the way? I'm assuming the red graphic on the map is the player's current X and Y position, and of course, the selection window to determine which floor you want to view... is the rest of the map a picture that gets chosen based on the map you're on?

Second screen: The mapping is pretty bare, you may add trees, flowers, grass, among other things I do not understand what would be definite.
Third screen: This screen is made better than others, but stones and logs must not be put on the path.
Fourth screen: Same thing for the first screen, you should not put the trees on the water.
Fifth screen: If you look carefully, the scale of the stone is cut from the survey. For the rest, you need to vary flowers trees, rocks, hills, and more.
To have just begun to map the cables you do not hurt, but remember to change the maps and more to give them a logical sense.

You seem to have a mixture of basic sprites (modern day set), sketches (a common, acceptable choice) and here's where you lose me, the image you used for the background about 4 minutes into the last video which just doesn't come close to meshing with either making the whole experience pretty jarring.
It's actually the same problem I saw in your first video with Greed's writing, there are these orbs (which, looking back I can tell are eyeballs) and bits of flesh, I assume, falling down, but for the life of me, they are too blurry to determine what they are, they're right in your face and they're just ugly. Not in a way that makes them scary, they're just... ugly. It's the kinda thing that it seems like you have great ideas of what you want, but no one with enough graphics know-how to get you started.
It seems like, however, if you were to replace some of that kinda stuff with sprites, you would have a much nicer looking image... Something that didn't seem so... pasted together.

well, DrbigT, I gotta say, there is a lot of stuff I don't like about your design choices...

I agree with you 100% on all accoards. Btw, I removed the eyeballs already and gonna replace with something better, like drops of blood to make a bloody rain. I'll probably have my artist draw the background of the guts and gore to look more along the rest of the pictures, sketchy and such. (A choice made not because I can't remove sketchyness (I -totally- could) but because I want them to look sketchy just like the comics, behold www.givemebeer.tk/goth.jpg It is not a decision made because I am not able to or can't, it's because I feel it adds to making it more like the original comics. I even though to go as far as have most backgrounds be pure black with just minor details of white but decided against that because I do not know how to pull that off) I agree that if everything else is sketchy, something so clean looks off. I just have lots of placeholders until I can do better things. :blizj:
Sadly I am not much of a sprite artist. If I'd find a good spriter I'd be willing to even hire them with real money if they'd be good and could help build the game. I have the story and music and all sorts of things to do it good, it really sucks that visual department is even after all these years so weak for me. :-\

Here is a map of mine. Took me quite some time but I finally got it done:
Spoiler for:
Post by: Japur on August 19, 2012, 08:05:53 PM
- I'd put a sand ground beneath the graves, as they have piles of sand/earth as well. The grass beneath the graves seems off.
- The little boxes for the chickens look weird, like, really flat. Also, if the chickens decide to go for a walk they will a) die or b) walk through the entire village. If you'd put them up a couple of spots, they would be facing the closed area. :)
- Little mistake in your tileset, with the fence and the vines on the fence (in the south).
- Little mistake with your stairs in the north-center, it misses a bottom.
- What's that bull doin- never mind.
Great composition!

As for the concept of the map? I love it. When I watched the Time Machine for the first time and saw that huge settlement that was carved into the stone mountainside, I've always loved the idea of that kind of construction. Your setup is very nice, although, if they were dug into dirt (as I am assuming this is), having a river run right through the center would mean that all of those houses would be either constantly flooding or about to collapse.

I've also done the first house in the game. Kind of hard to show in screen shots as, in order to break down how big and sparse it looked, I shaded out the rooms you're not currently in.

Also, last time I checked there was a 999 map cap, which is a ton of maps. I think he'll be fine.
Post by: Chickan117 on August 29, 2012, 02:57:46 AM
Regarding the cliffs I had noticed they were a bit "wierd". They're just tiles I grabbed from google. I plan to replace them with proper smart tiles for the end result.
@Acolyte - They are separate maps - I just put them together in the animated gif so you could see them as one
@Wiimeiser - What do you mean by labelling floors and using resets? I'm a real noob. Is there another way to achieve what I'm after?
@Acolyte - by the end of the game I'm expecting I'll be pretty close to 999 maps :( Might have to consider that as, if I do this for every house, it's gonna eat up that map limit.
TBH I'm thinking about doing a complete overhaul on that first house. Maybe try and build a tileset that makes it look more "normal". Feels too big at the moment and I had to shade and put tons of stuff in the rooms just to make them feel less "large".
Thanks for the feedback guys. Good to have it and, as always, good to fix these things at the start of a project rather than the end ;)

Like so. Make them far enough apart that the player can't see the other rooms from another room.

New screenshot! It's a cave, obviously, but now with my new HUD (this is a mockup): the red circle is your life, which diminishes in a circular motion, and the inner green circle is your stamina, which also diminishes in a circular motion. Next to it is your current amount of money and, in this case, your stock of dynamite.
Any suggestions?

More "cracks" in the walls. You have a couple in there already, but what I tend to do is to extend them out a bit, so even if the player cant go there, they give the cave a more natural feel instead of a mined out man made feel.

This game is in honestly 100% done but I'm gonna release 2.0 version that fixes few bugs and does few improvments, so I'll start sharing it more when I've heard the full reviews from the people who played the 1.1 version. Planned changes are few bug fixes, hopefully few passability errors and such can be squashed too and I'm also gonna try and make the game lighter and compress it to run and load faster among other tweaks that I didn't have the time to do when the time ran out.

Map1: I like it, its pretty good, however I recomend you remove some of that empty space in the bottom right corner, normally prisons are built underground and the smaller the room is, the more structuraly sound it is and the cheaper it is to build, so just shorten up that corner a bit and make it not a rectangle
Map2:
I like this one as well, great job! I think you should remove some of that yellow grass and make everythign a bit more random, add some shrubs, rocks, trees whatever and make it look like a wasteland :P in this case, groundcover and randomstuff works well. I'd also remove the paths and replace them with some sort of dirt path, the square edges look odd in contrast to the dirt around it. The farm is awesome, it catches my eye right away for some reason.
Keep up the good work! :D

@Amycha19The thing about the rectangle Prison is that it's above grond (otherwise there weren't any windows)...

The yellow grass was just an outline for me. It's something I'll be changing anyway. I'll check for a dirt path... I'm also thinking about changing the tilesets "happy" tiles into some gory, gruesome, rotten, evil, broken or messed up tiles but I can't seem to find any...
At this moment, I've put most of my time on city mapping into that farm, glad you like my maps =^.^=

This counts doubly so for a prison/dungeon. They're very cramped usually.
I'd personally move that desk area at the bottom into the top of that first rectangle, then trim the bottom of the map.

Not to mention she's about ten feet tall. Those dress spheres must really be something. (For the record, I've never played FFX2, only XII, CC, CCtCB, and Mystic Quest)
She starts 9 feet tall but gets taller as the game goes on. They're not really dress spheres, just said similar kind of idea. The outfits are special alien technology and are modified to her powers so that they grow with her.

I'm mainly concerned about the chapel not fitting the rest of the surroundings, the tree behind the chapel having the same problem, and the brightness of the bell peppers. Are those all right? What else should I work on?

The back of the Chapel roof doesn't match the other houses. It's an overhead view, whereas the other rooftops are a 45 degree angle view. Personally, I wouldn't use that wall type or door either. It doesn't quite fit with the natural surroundings and wooden structures.
The tree behind the chapel doesn't fit either. Too much contrast, and a different trunk entirely.
The outdoor forge is neat, but when a forge is outside, it usually has a roof of some type to protect it from the elements. I know that's difficult to create, but it's just a thought.
Aside from that, I like it! It's detailed, but not too crowded. I like the waterfall, and the variation in the height of the landscape is a nice change. There's definitely room for improvement, and I'm sure I'm missing some things, but it's a good map.

Ah, I see :)
Well taking criticism from people that really know what they are talking about is something that I would love too.
Even if I get flamed, I will have alot of good feedback and learn what I can improve. You cant make anything that everyone will love, but getting advice from educated people is something that I only see as extremely positive :)

@Lunarea: Amazing, if you put some hailstorm (weather effect) be more cool.
@Akathersdy: Looks pretty well just maybe put some flowers in the grass or others trees. And fix the church roof.

I don't mean to sound rude, but that kind of thing really grinds my gears. If anyone remembers that Adrian fellow, that's what I'm referring to.
But that aside, I'm not being sarcastic, man.
As for your screenshots Arturo, I like what you have going on, especially that crystalline region from two of your pictures. I really like how it's put together. The menu looks really good as well, but I'm not a big fan of the red color scheme you have going on. If it were me, I'd go with kind of a blueish hue instead. It's no biggie, though.

@Arturo, I'm not too much of a fan of those menus, but I like what you did with the interior with checked floor. I recommend adding a few more things into that house to not make it look a tad more full.
As for the caves, Id recommend adding a few more variations in the walls, especially in the second image, to me it looks odd :P
Keep up the good work!

These 2 are some of the first maps I made:
Spoiler for First town:
Spoiler for Forest:
And here is a map I started working on yesterday, Its not done yet but I thought Id post it anyway:
Spoiler for Mountain village:
I know these lack alot, but Its always nice to get early feedback :)
The big building on the mountain village map is messing up alot, since the area above it wont be passable, and It doesnt fit too good to the rest of the map.. but I dont really know how else I shall make it look biger.
The red marked areas are also errors, and there are alot of question marks on my side.. but asking for help is not allowed here, so I dont really know where to turn :)
Post by: bluntsword on November 30, 2012, 10:55:34 PM
On the first town, having the fence go behind the red roofed house by the river looks a little off. You may consider having it "disappear" behind the house and then come out on the other side. Other than that the town looks great.
The forest looks nice. You may consider using the tree tool that continues the smaller trees into one another at the top right. Everything else looks good.
I'm curious as to why you switched to a different tileset for your Mountain town? It looks inconsistent with your other maps and may cause some discontinuity in your game play. The tall building looks a bit odd and the holes in the hills at the top look different.
Really great work for your first attempts! Keep up the good work!
Post by: yuyu! on December 01, 2012, 01:18:14 AM
I have to agree with the inconsistency on the last one. ;9 I like the first two a bit better...
Also, I'd consider adding more cluster around the town, such as barrels and lumber and what-have-you. :ladyj: It looks a little empty-ish. Maybe more cluster in the forest, too? =o That one looks pretty good, though.

Probably because the first 2 maps are slight edits of the sample maps provided with RPG Maker VX Ace, I think the first one is "Castle town" and the second one is "Moutain village".

@ Dizturb3d, for the Edit maps “First town and Forest”. I really like it seems pretty well. In Mountain village looks ok but the black roof look a little odd and the mountain too. And the grass maybe add some flowers in the lone areas.
@ swick, wow! Those comic tiles are awesome. Congratulations.
@ bluntsword, all looks cool, that is a good mapping.

@bluntsword - You have some trees cut off by the river. Other than that, the map is OK, but the amount of empty space seems a little illogical and the pattern of house building is a little scattered. With that much empty space, I wouldn't normally expect people to build houses right next to each other, or to pave all the ground. Assumedly they'd want some green spaces for their kids to play without leaving the wall-fence. I also wouldn't expect such a small town to be entirely paved anyway. Also, I don't really like small houses, but that's more a style thing. There are a lot of windows.

Ye.. I think those 2 were the maps I made the very first day I started.. I switched up the tilesets later on, as you noticed. After I started with the mountain village map I went thru some maps to see which ones I wanted to post and I just thought they were my best looking maps, didnt think I had used the templates for them since I tried making my own maps pretty early.
I really dont know which tileset I should use though.. since it seems working with different tileset is not a good idea. I have no knowledge of parralax? maping either so I guess I mix up tilesets because they have different resources that I want to use.. and switching up tilesets have also brought some in-game errors that I cant seem to work around. I know Its not allowed to ask for support here, but where could I turn, to ask some questions about tilesets and mapping? Maybe I could send you a PM about it? :P

That said, I guess it's time to throw up another map, even if this project will never see the light of day. :P
Spoiler for:
The player will most likely never explore this area since it's just for the title screen, but we'll see if I can somehow incorporate it into the game's world somehow. If anything, it'd be cool to stumble upon and recognize. :D Anyway, a still screenshot doesn't do it justice as far as I'm concerned; there's a lot of animation going on in this particular sequence. I wish I knew how to make animated .GIFs. :/

Spoiler for:
And here is Mountain village again after some new work on it:
Spoiler for:
Wish I could make the pictures clickable so you could zoom in a bit, since Its pretty hard to see..
Another thing I find confusing is that I cant put trees ontop of the "cliff-areas", since they sort of "breaks" the ground and end up on the ground that is located under the cliff..
I also want to add some darkness to the cave, so the candles will have an effect.. but I have no clue how to do that..

I use celiannas tileset along with some from RTP for variety.. I think they blend pretty good together but Im not sure.. Ye, I heard that too, but maybe Its easier to work with the standard tileset?
Thats good to know :) Then I might show up in ur inbox later then :D
I wouldn't recommend parallax mapping to someone just starting out, but if you're willing to give it a whirl, a lot of members here have experience with it. Just know that a lot can go wrong and it will likely require a lot of trial and error before you settle on something that you really like and/or works.
I understand that, cause I have been watching some tutorials about it, and it seems alot can go wrong if you dont know what you are doing. I would really love to learn it though since you can put in whatever you want on your maps, and you dont need a set tileset of resources.. which seems really, really cool.

On the bigger maps, I think it would help you to focus in on small parts of the map and work on putting more detail in.
On the mountain village, your cliffs have some height errors. The smaller parts to the right should come down further than the main cliff to give an illusion of depth. Also, the overall cliff shape is a little too rectangular.

The forest needs...more. I agree, go in closer and think about what the player will see when they play.

What tileset is that? There may be sets of walls much like the ones where the door is. Part of what looks odd is the mix between solid walls (like the doors) and the wall autotile.It's hyperben's tileset
Post by: Dark_Metamorphosis on December 04, 2012, 11:16:32 PM
I think you could stand to make that house interior just a tad smaller. Other than that, it's pretty good.

Thanks alot for the feedback! Means alot! When you say make the house interior a tad smaller, do you mean the outside walls? Cause I actually fixed that a moment after posting.
Spoiler for edited house:
Ye, I know I lack lots and lots on details on those, especially in the forest.. Im also a bit worried about that I havnt got any treelines, so you can walk freely across the whole map.. The tileset Im using doesnt have an auto-tile? (Is that what Its called?), for puting up treelines so the trees had to be spread all over the map.
About the mountain village, I totally agree. I have thought about the square shape from the cliffs alot too, but I cant seem to find walls that are more "roundish", and I would have to get rid of all the other walls in my tileset just to get other types of cliffs. I think that is a thing that bothers me alot, since you have to switch the entire set just to switch one particular resource :(
And about the height errors, Im not sure how to fix that since the smaller parts blends in with the main wall, which end up looking really weird. Really happy about the feedback, and I wish I knew what a map needs to stand out..
The hidden cave looks nice, but could use a little more detail on the floor I think.
The forest needs...more. I agree, go in closer and think about what the player will see when they play.

Spoiler for edited house:
About the size of the house. Think about yours. How big is your bedroom? What's in there? Is it a bed and a dresser and a side table?
Look at your map here. In the left side, which looks like a bedroom, there's a lot of empty space and two walls that don't connect. And then the Ned's headboard is just sticking out. How many bed rooms are arranged like that? Notice the queen sized bed takes up four squares. It's not exact, but think of a 2x2 square being 8ft x 8 ft (or whatever that amounts to in the metric system). A normal bed room, then, wouldn't be muh bigger than 3x3 or 4x4 squares. Make sense?
It just seems like there is a lot of "space" that doesn't need to be there. Try making the bedroom smaller and the kitchen/dining a tad smaller also and see what you come up with!

Wow.. I havnt thought about it that way. When making the "bedroom", I was more or less thinking "hey, they need somewhere to sleep" lol. Cause I started off making the room without any bed at all. I tried connecting the bedroomwall in a square above the bed first, but I cant make it look good at all. I can see what you mean with too much space, might try to shrink the house alltogether and see how that looks, else I need to add more detail too it. What can I say, the bedroom was more or less just me figuring out they need somewhere to sleep xD
Forests are my specialty :3 I'll drop you a PM later with tips lol

I'm not sure about the forge. Is there any tent graphic you could use? Just to cover the top half and show that it is in fact sheltered from the rain. Good job though!
My only thought is that the tree in the upper right looks a little out of place. Meh. Might just be a personal thing.
Post by: Dark_Metamorphosis on December 09, 2012, 07:41:09 PM
Now thats much better! Id adjust the carpet on teh top left cuz it looks odd, and perhaps you may want to squish the bed in one more block to make it look like its pushed right up against the wall. so just cut off the bottom part of it. . .
Ye I agree, I removed that later on. I tried squishing in that bed aswell, but there is a huge shunk of the bed goin behind that wall.. which makes it look a bit weird aswell.. Not sure how I will squish in that bed without the use of parallax mapping. Since I believe too much of the bed will be missing if I just remove the lower part :/
It really is lookin' good! :) You're improving so much already ! ;o;
Thanks alot! :) Warms my heart to hear that :D
Hey, guys. I updated the town a little; fixed the chapel and removed the tree behind it. I also added a few little dirt paths and some scrubby bushes. Is this any better?

The blacksmith's roof looks like it has the same problem!
Oh, and the house closest to the church's left-back corner, the roof is a bit strange there as well.

I don't see what Forte means about spacing - seems fine to me. =P Though the stage at the top could use some work. Right now it's just kind of...there. I'd make it appear a little more elevated, and maybe push it forward or backward to give it some depth.

I don't see what Forte means about spacing - seems fine to me. =P Though the stage at the top could use some work. Right now it's just kind of...there. I'd make it appear a little more elevated, and maybe push it forward or backward to give it some depth.
Anyway, here's another map I cobbled together, mainly to test out the rain system I've been toying with. Once again, we can't see it in action because I don't know how to make GIFs.Spoiler for:
EDIT: Crap, I forgot to fix the tree's shadow at the lower right. Disregard that. Seems the cliff discoloration on the lower left also slipped my attention.
Thats a really nice heads-up! Gonna work on that later on, thanks alot for pointing that out :)
And your map is just amazing, wow.. I feel embarassed posting my stuff here when stuff like that pops up :-[

Im very glad for all the feedback, they will help me out alot when creating new maps.
The "working with depth", is something that helped me out alot aswell. Thats something that usually slips away from my attention, but now I will have a greater aspect of that, so thanks alot! :)

Much better :D Speaking with depth, should the outside bit fo your building be one square tall or two?
Well there is a upper floor to the building aswell, but I guess the whole building wall would be 4 frames tall.
That would mean I should have 2 frames for the outer wall, while being inside I guess? xD
Edit: Nevermind that, I was thinking about my Inn when I refered to the upper floor. The wall of this building will be 2 frames though.

I prefer these new cliffs, as well. They look a lot more realistic. And I didn't mention this last time, but you did a good job with the cobblestone path and the mud. I like the addition of the Inn's sign, but I'm not quite sure what's going on with that lamppost-looking thing above it is -- is it inside the Inn, or is it just hanging there? (I can't make out its support.)
@Dizturb3d -- This looks a lot better. Although you didn't take anything in that much, it still looks a lot more manageable. There's a lot less empty space!

If I were you, i'd spread out the tree's and grass even more to make it look more vibrant.
for example, don't put a tree so close together, but don't let it go that far apart aswell.
Here's an example of a map I just threw together. As you can see, I spreaded the tree's out, but not by much.
I also like to mix and match the grasses together just for the hell of it, since I think it looks pretty :)

I can't see DnP's screenshot so I can't comment on that, but I think mixing the grasses is a bad idea. In real life, grass is only discolored next to normal grass because the discolored grass has been underneath something, keeping it from rain.I keep thinking about football stadiums (or just sports stadiums in general really). Seems to have different coloured grass usually.

I've seen a lot of games do this. While I won't argue against personal style or taste - I'm pretty sure not many people share my love of the Victorian era, for instance - I would generally advise against mixing different kinds of grass. Acolyte pretty much hit the nail on the head regarding how to mix grass... ahem, "correctly."

Also, I could be wrong, but wasn't the Phantom of the Opera based in the victorian-ish era? I didn't look much into the history, and I think the Victorian era was around the mid-late 1800s or so? I could be wrong, though. =o
Also, I admit that the Medieval setting is a bit overused, but I still really dig it. xD

You can probably tell that I'm a bit of a history buff. :P
Anyway, I actually am working on a game. While it's based heavily on the Victorian era, I've also added elements from the Georgian era that I feel work really well with Victorian elements. Of course, I've added my own touches here and there to reinforce the fantasy vibe, but I'll leave those a mystery for now. ;)
One of these days I'll get around to making a demo of sorts for everyone to try out, but my job consumes almost all of my time, and a lot of the time I'm too exhausted to really focus. It's coming, though.

Err, that was a rather misleading choice of where to cut off the quotation. The full sentence was:
The Victorian era hasn't been touched upon nearly as much.
And that is certainly true, even if steampunk is also overdone (which I don't think it is).

The Victorian era lasted from 1837 to 1901. Before that was the Georgian era - the Colonial era, essentially - and it was followed by the Edwardian period. The Phantom of the Opera took place in 1909, which would place it in the Edwardian period.
Well, at least I was close! D:

The mountain maps have a wind engine, so the fog speeds up and changes direction slightly over time. Also, I just found a moving panorama script, the goal is to feel depth. I think with the moving panorama, fog, lighting, etc. I'm getting there.

Post by: Dark_Metamorphosis on January 23, 2013, 09:35:40 AM
Im trying something different now though. It required merging an autotile and standard tile together for one flat graphic. That mostly came from necessity as the water ate up all my other autotiles. I needed deep grass on the light sunny grass. The need for the deep grass really shows up because there are multiple layers of cliff faces, and I wanted to provide a clear definition between the top layers of the cliffs and lower levels.Spoiler for:

Thank you!
It actually didnt take that much time!
When I screw around doing mapping, I spend a lot of time doing visual and playability experiments. So when I do tileset editing, 95% of any photoshop work is done at that time, not when Im building a full map. When I finally do decide to make a game worthy map, it goes very very quickly as I've already got it in my head what I want and know how to accomplish it quickly. Things like just using layer 2 for the cliff tops for example are things that come from experience. But doing other stuff like allowing the player to walk under the cliff top requires using a Z index adjusted event tile for the cliff edge. Then to decorate the cliff edge needs yet another event, so thats where the obscene event count comes from.
You might notice that the tileset for that map isnt standard. Its a merger of like every outdoor tileset there is, and with edits, its over 15,000 pixels tall! The tileset itself should be relatively easy to find. The pain in the pooper is setting it all up in the database, passability, priority, 4 way directions, etc. But once you've got yourself a good pallette, and just use it enough to know where certain tiles are at, mapping goes very very quickly. Really, it would be like finding out that the Mona Lisa was painted in a few days, but developing the style is what took the longest, followed by collection of materials. I'm sure that skills like that took years to develop.
I think our job is easier. Most of the artwork is already done. We just need to organize the stuff in a way that looks visually interesting. Our hard part has always been and will always be learning how to use the current tilesets, and setting up custom tilesets in the database.
---
Project: I'm mulling it over in my head whether or not I want to do it or not. If I do, I'm going balls to the wall and intend on doing it right. Minimum of 20 hours of gameplay, and I'll be aiming for nothing short of EPIC. However, I'd intend to do it solo. Most of the scripts I've written have demos attached. But a lot of those demos use stuff that I'll most likely be using in the game, scripts obviously, but some of the major maps as well. If I decide to turn it into a game, you'll probably have seen some of the material already. Like Lightgeist Mountain. Just google it if you're interested...
Post by: Razma on January 24, 2013, 10:54:20 AM
Good job Heretic, paying attention to details pays off. Especially cliffwork, it adds dimension. I don't know if you saw my screenshots a couple pages before yours, but our styles are somewhat similar.
As for Millenin and Ryosis, yeah, it's a night map. Thanks for the observation, yes, it happens to be blue. ;)
Here is my first time doing some custom shading for a map, some of the tilework is bizarre, but it is meant to be a kind of ramshackle shop entrance.
Wait till I finish the rest. :D

Thanks for the comment about the shading.
Edit, again: Here's the map that seemed unbearably blue before. Now greenish. Uses a dynamic lighting script, as well as shadow script, and custom shading. This is just a snapshot of the entire map. There is a panorama that is maybe difficult to see, as such, we are up in the sky here.

Post by: Ryosis on January 24, 2013, 06:46:18 PM
Maybe try using those values? I'm not telling you or anything, but I'm curious to see how that would look.
Blueness aside, I like your map, but the lighting is a little overbearing, and some of the tiles have this strange, off-colored box around them, particularly in the top left corner and to a lesser extent in the middle, on the lower land bridge.
On the subject of bridges, the rope bridge looks a little wonky to me since it connects so far up. Might I suggest shortening it and having it connect to the of the cliffs?
EDIT: Completely missed your indoor map. Sorry about that. :P
I really like that one. Shading has always been one of my weak points. I do agree with Forte, though. The main floor seems a little empty. Maybe throw a rug down there? It's just something to fill the void.
Post by: Heretic86 on January 24, 2013, 08:23:48 PM
I think this looks totally awesome! And yeah, it seems that we do have very similar styles.
I saw some other screenshots you posted after this one thats quoted, and think this is where our styles vary just slightly. The cliff stacking is definitely there, but I think the edges around that rather large map (with panorama) need to look a bit less "safe". Like they need insets of cracks instead of just defining the outer edges. Bottm left cliff corner of the last grassy stacked cliff I put up. I think it just makes the terrain feel a bit more eroded. Just a suggestion...
Did a little experimenting with the cliffs on the map I posted earlier. I think the new cliffs are an improvement, but I wanted to get some opinions from y'all.Spoiler for:
So, what do you guys think? Stick with the old cliffs, or go with the new cliffs?
Post by: Razma on January 24, 2013, 09:28:32 PM
do you mean the ones that aren't quite detailed yet?
Your cliff does have a 'sheer' feeling to it. That's something I'll experiment with. Also I like yours. Once again compliments to your attention to detail, textures, etc.
My only opinion is that the highest dead tree could be better placed. The way the branches cover the cliff to the right looks flat and incorrect.
Otherwise cool. :blizj:
@ryosis A rug is a pretty good idea. Should help balance the details. Otherwise,I like giving the player some breathing room. I'm running a pixel script at 4.7, so that's a pretty decent speed.
Yup, there's some map glitches, but I suppose the lighting is a matter of taste.

As for the maps in general. It's more for practice, fun, concept art. I'm working on some original tilesets, that I hope to use instead. It's absurdly time consuming. But worth it I think.
Edit: Wiimeiser, that is why I won't do a cutscene there. It would look nice with some people floating around though, wouldn't it? :)

They don't stand out as much, and really fit with the lighting of the map. They also look better in actual play then just a screenshot.

They might work as shadows? Or perhaps a bit more dim. I like them, except that there is too many and they stand out.
I'd say they work for a basement or something, but not for regular houses.

Agreed, Millenin. However, I think in the video they work quite well. Mostly because there is a lot else going on color wise, and they don't stick out like a sore thumb. Still, preferably they would be still even less noticeable. Maybe like tiny little diagonal beams to top off a corner in the room somewhere...
EDIT: I got the mapper mixed up with someone else. Here's the guy I meant:

Anything else you found weird about the map otherwise, or does everything seem ok?

Way too small to see anything, but I guess the shapes are fine. Are you going to put anything on the desert and ice continents? There's also quite a bit of empty space on the continent that's almost inappropriately shaped. It also looks like you have a bunch of one-tile islands, which is fine, but you would expect some islands that would be a little bigger. It's a little weird to go from one-tile land masses to massive continents without anything in between.
Ye, I'm not sure how else I could show the map since I need to have it zoomed out in the maker to show the entire map. But I agree It's hard to see the mapping I have done since It's so small. I might put it up in different parts though, to make it easier to see, I'm not sure if I could zoom in the picture somehow though.
The main thing though, is like you said (shapes, and locations of the continents etc is something I'm wondering about). Yes, the desert and ice continents will be mapped later aswell, I just havn't worked out what I will put on those yet.
The empty space is also something I will fill in later on, when I know what I should put there. About the shape of that map though, what do you think is the most drastic thing I should change about the shape? The small 1-tiles are not islands, but It's pretty hard to see what it is in the current state of the picture so I can't blame you for seeing them as islands :) It's just random rocks and waterstreams that I have put out in the deep sea.

Blow up the size a little and fill it with water, like in Lufia 2 and other RPGs, it'd seem weird for those continents to be next to each other in game...
That's a very good point! I had trouble placing the desert island in a good position, and didnt even think about expanding the map to spread them apart :-\ That's one thing I will keep in mind for sure! thanks!

I have that page pinned in chrome.
I've been converting all the resources from the game to VX Ace format, but sadly there seems to be a problem with most tile related resources. The colors become distorted when changing their size to fit the 32 x 32 format. This means I have to redo each tile individually and fix the colors after the size change and also figure out where to best put the tile itself within a tileset image.

Anyhow, I'm really liking your map, Heretic. I've been experimenting with a similar effect (though not with a giant eye, of course) but I haven't been able to make a lot of progress as of late. I'm with Namkor, though, I'd love to see it in action.
As for your map, Drbigt, I really can't say, mostly because I can't actually see the map beyond the few luminated segments. I like what I can see, though. I'm particularly fobd of that yellowish region near the edge.
Littlesaytr, I love the character art. I'm not too fond of the fonts, though, and I can't say I'm a fan of important words being of both a different color and in brackets. That's just me, though.

The floorboards don't extend into the "wall" (read: ice), leaving a little bit of a gap between floor and wall, and that makes me a sad panda.
It does give the appearance of the boards being cut off before they reach the side walls, even though the wall graphics are fine. Not quite sure how you'd fix it. The only thing that comes to mind is to redesign the vertical sections to look a little more organic. It'd be something you'd do with pictures, perhaps; something akin to parallax mapping. I don't see caves having too many straight edges in them.
I do have concerns about the little bed/cot being in the middle of the walkway out of the "bedroom". Seems like a hazard, considering how a person would get in/out of the large bed. I was tempted to say a fire hazard, but the whole place is a bit of a hazard if a fire was to break out, what with the place likely to melt some.

That's kinda the point. That's why you have a lantern so you can see. You need to get fuel and preserve the lantern when it's not needed. If you'd be able to see, it'd render the entire lantern and the fuel and such mechanics obsolete. I did make the lantern a lot stronger, as well as the other lights though so it should light the path more.

...
I may whip up a demo just to display the motion of the Eye without spoiling the story. One of the problems I ran into tho required me write a script, just to animate the eye. Actually, that isnt true, it required 2 scripts. One for adjusting the Z-Index of the Eye Sprites to be less than that of the terrain (terrain is on top, eye look up from underneath), and one for the motion. Motion was a problem with expressions because there isnt really any way to move directly in a non 8 directional path (up, down, left, right, and diagonals). Both scripts are public, and I get two minutes of free time, I'll post a copy here, but for now, its up over at chaos-project.
The eye itself is composed of multiple events just using one big ass picture. The eyelids, scalera, and iris are seperate events. That allows the eye to change shape, blink, look around and move quite fluidly.
That cave style has pretty much become my standard for ALL my maps. There is just something about square "natural" caves to me that comes across as looking like garbage. In a mine, its one thing to have a square corner and perfectly flat wall, but not in a natural cave.
I'll work on a demo (and post script here) when I get some free time.

Such as say Dooms games? :Vg;

Note: With this, the intention is to make the characters quite a bit bigger than the basic RTP characters. That's why everything is so big. :p
Spoiler for:
I know there's a couple things off, like the size of the door and possibly the shape of that potted plant. Also, I have yet to decorate the two bottom cubicles. =o So, right now it's still a WIP.

Looks fancy, but the left side needs more things, either a bunch of filing cabinets, a watercooler, or a sofa and a table or something
That's a good idea. :p I still haven't completely finished decorating it, but I almost forgot about that.
The problem is that doing these maps by hand takes a great deal of time, and it worries me if it's worth the effort. B( Granted, there's only going to be a few maps in the game, since it's not an RPG. And I can just keep re-using stuff that I draw if it fits. :p
I might shrink everything a little more, just so it looks cleaner, either way. Also considering making it all a tileset, as opposed to parallaxing it all. I typically like working with tilesets more. B(
Post by: &&&&&&&&&&&&& on July 15, 2013, 06:12:42 PM

Looks cool. One thing though, from this angle it seems like you should be able to see the top of the filing cabinets.
I like the drawn look, looks like it was drawn on paper and not a computer. :D
Ohhhh, right! Yeah, I do see what you mean with the filing cabinets. B) Thanks for catching that!
I did actually draw it on a computer. :p I just googled images and traced them, using a bamboo tablet. Then I shrunk them a lot, so the lines look cleaner and whatnot. B)
I wish we had a scenery artist on board, but sadly my team of two is only really people (and maybe animal) artists. B( Dr. Mc is handling the character art and I'm *attempting* the scenery. .-.

It looks nice and I've always liked the idea of drawing backgrounds, but they're really a pain to use because of the layer management.
Post by: yuyu! on July 16, 2013, 12:57:57 AM
They're really a pain to use because of the layer management.
It really is. ;9 Right now I'm trying a lazy method. I was thinking that if I use some RPG maker-style graphics, it might keep some consistency. I've drawn in some dark lines to try and make them look more "cartoon-like", as well as making the colors stronger and the patterns a bit weaker.
Spoiler for:
I don't know if its an improvement to my other attempt or not, but its easy and might just work with the art style. =o

The screenshots look nice, but I can help but feel that the room is a bit cramped and small. Also, the cupboard looks out of place, why not put it against a wall?

That looks really nice! I'm sure it'll blend with Celianna's tiles nicely :)

I'll never be able to map like that :_;
I'll post a screenie of my first map once its finished - I've got the basic layout down, but it's severely lacking in detail at the moment.
Be gentle with me when I do...
*EDIT*
First map more or less complete. It still needs work, but I kinda suck :P
I'm aware that it's pretty big and spread out, but there are reasons for that:
1. It's a hamlet. Is that the right word? It's not quite a village, just a very small group of people who happen to live near each other. The kind of small village you don't get these days D:
2. It will grow over the course of the game. Eventually it's going to be a densely populated city.
Beyond that, constructive criticism is welcome, of course ^^

Does anyone have some good (and free) texture sites I could visit? I am not particularly happy with the ceiling texture, but I cannot find anything much better. I also need to decorate the corridor, but I am fairly happy with the results thus far.

I like that image, though. Seems like a very quaint little settlement. :)
Anyway, I was kind of playing around with building a sort of introductory sequence, but I've yet to really settle on something I'd like. I don't think this particular map will make it into the final game, but I thought it looked cool for what it's worth. The location itself is called The Eye. Basically, it's a metaphysical realm wherein all magic convenes.

I still consider it a work in progress since I've yet to add some of the finer details (work has been a tremendous drain on my time and energy), but on a technical level it's finished.
What do you guys think?
EDIT: And true to my style, I somehow overlooked a glaring error, this time in the form of the base of the platform with the stairs. There should be a wooden beam on either side.

Since I just released my old RMXP game, Enex2, I figured I'd post some of my screenshots here to, if I'm lucky, accrue some attention.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg81.imageshack.us%2Fimg81%2F6672%2Ffimbelnglacislk5.png&hash=4d3a605403c4f1fa95269a49ad3b01ffe19d1fe9)
Here is a picture of the pristine Fimbeln Glacis. While the marshy Ninurta Stagnants lie at it's the feet, the putrefaction and rot of that area are unable to reach this frozen mountain. It always snows here, and a small village is nestled upon the mountain. There have been some rumors of cult activity within the village, but nothing conclusive, especially seeing as how a temple honoring the ancient hero, Rekkesh, is in the village.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg160.imageshack.us%2Fimg160%2F1516%2Fcrossingthechasmzy0.png&hash=911a76f182403f670aef1bea9fa6ec6068b56164)
Part of the Fimbeln Glacis area mentioned earlier, here is a reflex based minigame where you must cross a gaping chasm. Your mage has managed to create a delicate ice bridge. Of course, constructing the ice bridge is very difficult, and cannot be made perfectly. As such the blocks tend to be a.. scattered. If you step on the ice bridge, the slipperyness will cause you to constantly be moving forward, so don't slip off! Theo can blow gusts of win at you to make you do a Jump up, right, left, or down 2 spaces. The reason the bridge appears to be missing the south block to get your character over there, is that as you step on a block it melts very shortly after, causing you unable to jump backwards and forwards over and over again to think for a bit.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg299.imageshack.us%2Fimg299%2F1518%2Fnalacfirecrystaldodgingux9.png&hash=382e829493d11651a66b5c4299d2bf59a9ceb32f)
One of the dungeon challenges that you will get roped into. The crystals will glow red, causing a steam of fire to flow across the field. You have to see which crystals glow red to know where the fire will be next and then get out the way before it roasts you!
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg238.imageshack.us%2Fimg238%2F7189%2Ffimbelncaveqw6.png&hash=9d8e6c053be80db0c01baff1ad6b13e648012c92)
Deeper in the Fimbeln region lies a frozen cave with magma running through it. How does the ice remain unmelted? Some say it may have something to do with the strange rumors of a particularly vicious haunt dwelling in the cave. Some claim it some strange phantasm of fire, while others claim it has an ice like affinity. Other say there are, in fact, TWO wretched spirits living in the cave.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg158.imageshack.us%2Fimg158%2F3570%2Flavacrosserbl6.png&hash=9cad0da8550867c8e6adeaa67ddcf0e5a28bdca1)
Basically a blue line runs across the tile of ice blocks. You can only step on where the blue line went, if you step elsewhere, you will crack through the ice and fall into deadly magma!

Anyway, from your image here:
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffc08.deviantart.net%2Ffs71%2Ff%2F2014%2F128%2F4%2Fd%2Fmoongem_grotto_test_4_by_lightningtopaz-d7hn89f.png&hash=1713c8d3c5e21b215646bb974e5e165dd28a5277)
I can see a couple of things that look just a bit off. ;o
-I'm a little confused by the walls in the middle of the room. They look like they are intended to be used with some form of roofing of their own, or something.
-The crystals by the door are cut off at the bottom because they are intended to be 2 squares tall, instead of one.
-There's a lot of colorful things on the floor and some of them seem a bit out-of-place. Maybe having some more greenery breaking through the cracks would work, instead? :)
-I think you used a wall graphic for the flooring. ;9
All in all, it's not half-bad, my friend!
Post by: StormyAmethyst on May 09, 2014, 02:02:16 AM
The greenery is a cool idea, I may look into that.
The gems are on the floor because I couldn't think of a way to put them in the wall (as I envisioned it in a few stories involving these characters) and not having it look weird.
I wanted to try a "natural" looking cave floor, and that was my solution--although I'm open to better flooring!

- That floor would be best.
- It's a better idea to choose one 'theme' of rock. Mixing them makes it look strange.
- Some stuff.
- Wall height should be the same throughout the entire cave.

Xzamia City
This map is one of the few main City for the Seven Tower game.
This is the first city in the game.

Ahem... Anyways, that map looks much better than some of your older stuff. I think the ground can use a little more clutter variety, such as the TileB grasses and stuff. More grasses is always good and a little variety can go a long way. Overall, good job and I'm definitely seeing the improvement!

My only issue with that tileset is the lack of a lot of graphics. It covers the basics, but the interiors especially don't give you much to work with. But now that I think about it, it might look decent with XP graphics. :]

On the consumer side of things, $20 is a lot for a group mostly comprised of young hobbyists. Even as an adult with a steady paycheck I had a hard time justifying my purchase. If someone was really serious about going commercial, it'd be an alright deal. However, you'd still run into the problem of not having much variety to work with.
I dunno. I guess it's ultimately a personal decision whether or not you think something is worth a certain amount of money. It's definitely a well made set.
Oh, and thanks for the compliment by the way. ;8

Yeah, stupid me didn't know that Grenada was an actual country... I renamed a kingdom in one of my games "Grenada". Before that, the name was "Grandia" and I totally forgot that was the name of a game. So, I changed it from that. I'm just really bad at picking names, I guess... :halo: I've been considering changing it again. :^(
I've been on an artsy kick for a little while now. I just need to use some of that energy on my actual art class homework instead. ;9

The first section (where Cheska blurs at the enemy) is part of the "normal" character-animation system, but Cheska in the second section is part of the "normal" battle-animation. This will allow me to be a LOT more flexible when it comes to weapon skills, but it's also probably going to take me ages to animate them. Oh well. It will be worth it; the "normal" way doesn't have enough room for all the weapons I want to include!
The animation actually needs a bit of work, but getting it working like that was a good thing to learn. Never bothered much with animations before. Now I have the structure, I just need to work on the sprites themselves.

I also typed up and created a simple teaser picture.
Spoiler for:
The premise of the story is that technology which can extract psychometric(1) data from simple, everyday objects has been created, allowing the user to peruse snap-shots or roam through entire virtual environments constructed from multiple objects; a boon to historians as well as law enforcement. The technology has been praised and condemned, a key to unlock history and a fatal blow to privacy. Although banned, civilian psychometric devices have become a hot item despite the danger of mental impairment due to improper use and the restriction of only being able to use previously parsed data instead of directly reading from an object. Particularly technology savvy individuals have started to modify the hardware and tweak the existing 'reads', creating puzzles and games out of hacked together history. The main character, Auco, is on the bleeding edge of the rapidly growing online community broadcasting live playthroughs of the altered reads.
(1) Some believe that an object can 'see', or that we as human beings emanate an aura which imprints onto an object, leaving a visual record or mental fossil. Psychometry is essentially the supernatural/paranormal ability to read that impression.
I've been listening to a lot of Ninja Gaiden (NES) music during the whole process, and I think it is starting to show in the cut-scene introducing Auco and Dead//Oracle. What are they doing inside a psychometric lab? Probably about to get into trouble. Also, doing two-color backgrounds is a bit rougher than I first thought.

Yeah, I was wondering how you drew the font.
I guess what I was asking is, how close to pixel art is it? Is it pixel art? Do you do any tricks of making it really tiny and resizing it or maybe even making it huge and shrinking it.
Do you base it off anything? I've tried to make custom letters and stuff for titles, but they always look like MSpaint doodle garbage.

I drew it using the binary tool, and a tablet pen. For actual pixel art, I'd use a mouse.
I should clarify its technically pseudo-pixel stuff. I painted the letters, and then erased it in parts to neaten it up a bit.

I copied the way of animating skills like this from Alter AILA: Genesis, which is my favourite RM* game. It takes a lot of fiddling to get the timing right on the fade in/out between the character's battle animation and the skill's battle animation, but it's worth it when you see it in motion!

Anyway, I've been derping around with the RTP for a different game that's in the very tentative planning stage. I probably need to mess with the tinting on the rocks a bit but that's just a case of throwing it through Paint.NET or whatever:

The vent minigame shown above is something that happens during the second level of my game (http://rpgmaker.net/games/1158/). During the third level there is going to be a similar sequence that takes place in some sewer tunnels. I don't plan on this sewer section being as integral to how the third level plays out as the vents are to the second level, but I do think they'll set-up what comes afterwards (which will remains a surprise) pretty damn well. So basically what I've been working on are the graphics for these sewer sections, and here are some examples that'd slot into the user interface shown above:

I think they're okay? I'm undecided. I intend to add some cracked/missing tiles to spice things up a little. I think I'm okay going without anything on the floor because the tiles already convey everything about depth/direction?

I agree that the rpg maker rtp graphics can be pretty awful at nature stuff, but that canopy texture is hideous. The blue and green colors are completely at odds with each other as well. It's like the artist couldn't decide between making a lush green jungle, or a dreary washed out swamp.It's mostly that my hatred for the VX/MV forest tiles is infinite.

You should either place the picture on top of the text box (this might require re-sizing the picture, which I don't think you should do) or re-size the text-box so that it only surrounds the text. I basically think it looks weird how little of that text box is being taken up my actual text.

Perhaps flip the image horizontally and then move her arm (this would be the one that isn't bent once the image is flipped) so that it's one the edge of the screen? You don't really need to see both of her wings because the player can infer what one wing looks like from seeing the other. I think that would look better, and it would give you much more room for the message text.
The wings are really the problem here, because the space below her right wing is just far too great IMO.

Yeah, I thought that'd be the case, which is why I thought it would be a bad idea to place her on top of the text box.

The problem with flipping her picture is that her hair would be flipped too and it'd visibly not be like that in the charaset. I did change font size (as well as window graphics while at it) and put it even more to the left though, so overall what do you think now?

It's been a while since I've done anything with RM, but is there an accessible way you can adjust the arrow's placement? If not, I'd be happy to put a little snippet together that makes it so. That is, if you agree with me on the arrow. That's just me though.

I actually had very little problem with the amount of screen being used for text. What did bother me was the arrow at the bottom, it looks unclean at the center of the window if there's only text to the left of it.
It's been a while since I've done anything with RM, but is there an accessible way you can adjust the arrow's placement? If not, I'd be happy to put a little snippet together that makes it so. That is, if you agree with me on the arrow. That's just me though.
I am not sure, I use ATS Series by Modern Algebra. Sure, if a snippet that'd auto center it always relative to where the text begins (say, in this case more to the right) instead of always being in the exact center spot, it would look a bit better.

Increasing the amount of text-box being used is one solution, but one of my other suggestions was to merely re-size the text window so it wrapped around the text, which I know is something that can be done vai scripts even though I've never touched the newest makers.

When will it be available on Steam Greenlight?
My vote is for sure. :) (\s/)

Your game looks really amazing. <3
When will it be available on Steam Greenlight?
My vote is for sure. :) (\s/)
Most likely this week still, I just have last minute testers give me a report for any minor polish that need to be done or if there's any bugs, there really shouldn't be because it's been tested on several computers through and through but you never know. :malson2:
EDIT:
My game's on Steam Greenlight. I wasn't sure what to show for this ocassion so have a peculiar demon girl who dislikes humans. However, if you play through the game, you can actually become friends with her and find out the dark secret why the demons dislike and distrust humans.

The big trees look kinda like they belong in a sidescroller and the art style don't match the rest.
Edit: Oh, also here have a screenshot.

The perspective seems a bit off. It makes it appear that the house is leaning forward.

Well, okay. But I don't think that was reason enough to remove the whole screenshot though. :sadmoonfacefromthatthreadss:

I'm confuse now.
If you're referring to it saying I edited your post, for some reason it was showing as a broken link.
I poked it and then it showed the image for me.
Don't know why you can't see it, that's really strange.
It's still there for me. \(;6)/

Remember, nature doesn't plan itself out. It's random and wild.
Maybe try sprinkling bits of grass and stuff around to break up the empty spaces? :o

I think that looks much better.

Okay, I did. Not really worth a new screenshot though, so have an inside the cabin shot instead.

Since we mentioned text and word wraps and stuff, I gotta go on a little rant. This isn't directed at anyone, just a note for (hopefully) improving the aesthetics of any game. :)
It seems difficult to work with the default text boxes in the RPG Maker engines, because they are too big. This could make one line of text look too empty and a full box of text look like too much. If you look at any other game, text boxes are smaller width-wise and only use about 2-3 lines.
Spoiler for Example:
Part of that is the addition of a face, but I find that a slightly smaller text box with 3 lines looks a little neater. :D Thankfully, there are a lot of scripts that help with that nowadays.

never bothered trying them, you need to get a third part program to inject the binary algorithm then facilitate cross-platform application's energy boson rerouter that then goes pear-shaped, resulting in an explosion in the secondary temporal power rerouter
at least that what is sounded like, it probably just edits the dlls

Sometimes the simplest things are the most gratifying. Finally working on an actual dungeon with actual gameplay for my RTP project, mostly involving moving minecarts around because who doesn't love a stereotypical minecart-based dungeon? There's also going to be spiders; lots of spiders.
This cart is intended as a show-not-tell kinda tutorial. You enter the dungeon from the bottom, and I assume most people will interact with the cart once they see it. Since they come from the bottom, they should push it up the tracks, thus learning that the carts can indeed be pushed.

My test map is getting very crowded. So many custom menu systems. It's going to be hard to come up with a pretentious acronym for all of them (like a good RM2K3 user should)!
