Lol, another one from like a year ago.

I need to start making maps again and ignore Zeriab scripting other stuff


Just a little cave with a hole in the roof I don't know why I gave it shadows 

[shaz]

Some maps I did up over the last few days after going through a few tutorials - any suggestions on how to improve, pointing out mistakes, much appreciated!

[modern algebra]

They look pretty nice shaz. I think they're quite good.

[Derek16438]

I agree, though some are better than others, it's a good set of maps you got there!

This is from my game "Rose Memories" It's a shot from the Silver Mines.

Here's a cave I did a week or so ago (same cave, different tilesets - my fave is the water caves).  Dilemma - I can't bring myself to put lots of greenery and pretty, bright plants into a cave that supposedly never sees the light of day.  That limits what I can have lying around a bit.  I suppose the easiest solution is to fuse tilesets.  Any other suggestions?  Would having a chest and maybe a torch or two, and a couple of bad guys wandering around, be enough of an addition to make these caves interesting?

Horrible maps. You need to either add more, or make the caves much smaller.

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

[shaz]

You need to either add more

which 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.

[Irgna]

Those look great shaz, but like you said, a little empty.

[Kokowam]

Yeah. I agree

CMS I'm building for me game, that's right, everything is inaccessible at the beginning.
Does it look okay..?

[shaz]

Maybe fusing tilesets is the answer - more things to put in there without feeling uncomfortable about having things that don't fit (in my mind).  I think I was spoiled with all the shadow tiles in the Snow tileset - I haven't seen another that's as flexible there.

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.

Ergh...I made a rather large map...and I deleted it by accident and then I saved it by accident...stupid, stupid me.

Looks rather nice...but the windowskin...

[The Shadow]

Why does all heroes standing on the top of a cliff?

[oneray]

Looks very nice!

[Reives]

Not bad, Zhuge. I think its depth can improve by moving the upper right corner cliff right by one square, to get rid of the straight line. :>

I just finished a new event title screen for Quintessence. <: Here's a screenshot:


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:

(Make sure to turn on sound~)


Feedback/suggestions welcomed! <: I implemented Artbane's advice on making a seamless transition to the first scene on that map too.

[The Shadow]

Wonderfull...just wonderfull. I can say so much more. The mapping is great, and the music is great. Everything looks good.

[The Shadow]

Im bumping this.

Here's the old version of the map that I posted before.


Here's the new version.

[shaz]

the shadow of the big tree on the panorama really stands out on the lighter background.  Both versions are nice.

[Arrow]

Uh oh, AIR SHADOW!

ITS A FLYING SHADOW!

Other than that you rock Zhuge.

[The Shadow]

Thx. I will try to solve that shadow problem today.

[The Shadow]

[shaz]

both big trees have right-most leaves cut off.

I like the mushrooms growing OUT OF the log!

[Arrow]

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.

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!

[The Shadow]

You are right. When did my tileset start to bug? . Im working on it.

EDIT: Fixed Here's the whole map.


Arrow: The tileset looks good, but the pink roof is bugging me somehow. It's not the colour, but it's something else..It looks just flat.
