some tips about mapping:
Dont make every room square, try adding round cornors and weird shaps
Add stuff to the rooms, epty spots = bad OVER FILLED = worse.

[Irgna]

Got it, this is only an early demo for my first project, though. I plan to make the full version harder than the demo and I'm planning on going through the mapping tutorials on this site.

Your Caves don't look Naturally formed... Way to nnicely placed and cirmetrical...

Here's one of mine:-



Try and make yours a little less consistant, random is the key, and add some shading to give depth... like on mine to the right look at the two tower like ares and the shadows below...

Liking the open battle screen... and the Char's your using they are very crisp... did you make them ?

[Irgna]

The battle system was made by Rikkuholic and can be found in the script database. No, I did not make the charsets, I found them here

[Irock]

All of those systems make it sound like a cool game. We'll see where it goes.

[Irgna]

I'm hoping to have 100+ hours of gameplay, at least 200+ maps, and 150+ quests. Yeah, I'm wanting to make this game huge.

[Blizzard]

My game has over 330 maps so far and over 10 hours of gameplay, but my maps are rather small (50x50 average size). If you want that much playtime, you will need to make huge maps from the beginning on.

[Irgna]

I plan to make lots of quests to add to play time, and I plan to make many map as large as 500x500, if that's possible.

[Reives]

Just remember quality>quantity. 

[Irgna]

I know.

Well. . . . .it does seem you need some mapping help so, i'll do a few maps and if i feel like i should be onboard, i'll make maps as part of your team. how does that sound?

[Irgna]

Great, I'll PM you further info.

[Morris Lawry]

Hey this is for Legends of lore

i made this so if you use it credit me

[Irgna]

Nice, but one problem. The games title is Heros of Lore, not Legends of Lore.

[Christina]

looks good, i dont like the battle system though, a lot of people use it, i find it ugly, i dunno

[Irgna]

I'm mainly using this battle system because I don't like the stock battle system and I have more freedom as far as allies and enemies with this battle system.

[Morris Lawry]

Awww crap man, im sorry i'll fix the damned thing

[Irgna]

Ok, thanks.

By the way... It is "Heroes", not "Heros". Typo title might make you look bad.   

[Irgna]

Actually, it is "Heros," I just checked it on dictionary.com.
