Demo/Game:
The demo/game will be posted in bits. 1st bit will basically just be the intro, school, learning of the basic quest and a mini-boss. The game is divided into parts.

Chapter 0, *NAME*
Part Download - *None yet*

Yes, Easy Party Switcher is by me, you can remove the ??, lol!
BTW, with 18 going to college is a bit weird. Make him at least 19, that would be more real.
BTW, it sounds intriguing with "on his birthday something is wrong...". ^__^

screenshots of the maps? 

That will be done soon Gag Masta! Also, I'll change the age

This is double posting I know but heres 1 screenshot of the first town!



The house at the top is the wep/item/inn place, the one on the left middle is the main characters house and on the right, the big house is the soon to be college!

pretty emty, but I see you had used my Mapping tutorial?

I'm only working on the houses at the mo. Next screenshot should be of the main chars first room and a better version of the town

ok, if you are leaving the town with the # of buildings you already have I suggest you move all the buildings up next to each other and cut the map size in HALF. leaving the town as open as it is can be boring and stuff.

If you did use my mapping tut, go back and read it once more. (if you didn't want a link? )It should help you re-make this map really good.

I guess Ill attempt to remake the town... But itll waste precious time for making items, animations, weapons and armour

The town has upgraded! WOOT!
The old town is gone! Heres the new version! At 42 by 34!


(Sorry about double posting)

You can use the Edit/Modify button. It will bumo your topic as well if the last post is edited.

Ok. Also, if you're wondering about that house at the corner blocked by trees and why the path stops is... Well... You'll need to check it out to find out what its for. (The demo won't be made cos barely anything has been done...

better, but can still use work.

red - you already know the problem
clue- looks weird two colors? http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,13553.0.html
pink - Empty.
green: line up street lights, and some more trees

also use more autotiles.

*Collapses* I forgot about Street Lamps... DAT IS DAM STU-PID!

Red - That actually works. It just overlapped over the house cos I moved it there and I used the 2nd layer to fix the wall but in game it works perfectly.

Blue - Ok, I'll change it

Pink - Ideas anyone?

Green - Sure, shouldn't be too hard.

Remember that mapping isn't a waste of time. I honestly think it's the most important part of a game.

I aksed you if you used my tut 10 times so if you havent here it is:
http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,13665.0.html

use that link

two different colors on the house loosk bad red botton blue top = bad.

also add a path on the side of the clock in teh center to the top path, it will look better with just that small thing.

I used the tut  If I hadnt would I have the top wall?? Also my previous post has new things.

pink: another house...jsut a small place off to the right and then a path up to the other house and the new house.

Heres a spoiler about that house:

Spoiler for:

THAT FRIGGING HOUSE IS FOR JAMES! HE IS THE SECOND PLAYER! HE LIVES THERE! THATS WHY THAT EVENT IS ON THE ROAD! ITS A BOULDER!

If you read it, plz do not annoy me . Also, I will add that extra house.

Your mapping is decent. Your getting better at it, and it's way better than my maps, because i'm stuck with RM2K till I finish my current project. RM2K Only has two layers.... 

Eh, I don't find the story very interesting or breakthrough. The main character is Alex? Sorry, just sounds too corny, but still has the potential to grow into something better.

...I just stole the name of a book . But I still need a ton of battlers, char sets and tilesets with full status. Also, if the name is corny, give me a idea...

Floyd, Grumio, Reece, Tiger, to name a few.

Alex is an overused name. Try going with something creative and new. 

I mean a name for the 3 sets. School Uniform, Adventurer and Ninja (Very rare to get the clothes in my game Hint Hint)
