OK so here is my fourth tut, I had this already made forgot to type it out. SO will show you how to make a great desert and not even touch layer three! We will be making a oasis
OK start tut:
Step 1: Layer one lay down the tile for sand (notice the red line it is the outline where the hero will go)You can select two tiles to lay the sand one is darker then the other, I selected the lighter one for this tut
Step 2: Using layer one AND two make this mountain outline. THe light tiles are placed on layer 2 and the dark on layer one. THe first mountain at the top will be where the player enters from, and the bottom two mountains help to show where the player will exit the map
Step three: Using layer one again, make a small body of water..whats an oasis without water, and it will make the map look more realistic once we add plants
Step four: Big step, now using only the second layer add a tree, rocks, plants, footprints, sand waves. Adding some green will really making the map come alive, the rocks and stuff should also be used. Try not placing too much stuff close to one another, spread everything out and try not to leave BIG places where nothing is there.
(also you can make the ground designs in first layer..the sand movement that is
Step five: YOUR DONE! you still have layer three if you need it! And here is a pic of that same in map in game play:
Please feedback would be great! and don't forget to check out some of my other tuts on this fourm!
