@Luneth:
First off, thanks for the comment!
Secondly, I could't find a better window because my patterns never seemed to mix with the inside glow I was trying to get with the boxes. So I used one of my custom patterns.
Thirdly, That tileset looks like you put alot of work into it! Keep it up! Looks familiar, but I know that it's obviously one of yours!

[Luneth]

Thanks Battles! So that's a custom pattern? Another thing you could do is make the pattern just a smidge darker, that'll bring it together too. Window material is difficult to
use, because not everyone wants theirs to look the same, so I feel your pain there D:

If you've played my demo, you might have noticed the Radiant Historia music in there. Well, I think that that game and Pokemon Black/White both had amazing message
systems, so I MIGHT switch my messages over to this kind of format:



C&C appreciated!

Now for mine.
I've been working on a custom tileset, and I must say that the respect I had for people who've already made them has quadrupled. Mine's not too good, but here's a
map shot from the editor.

That chipset is quite nice, though I recommend that you use darker outlines around the fence. That way it fits in more with the cliff and trees. Objects should use the same kind of shading to make them seem more coordinated. Apart from that, I have no real problems with it. It's quite nice.
Let me just say that the second screenshot, with the bigger trees is nice but I'd take out the larger trees or try to make them match a little more. They're a bit too saturated or light to really fit with the smaller trees. I do like the face though. His hair looks like it's plastered to his head from all the rain. Whether or not that's deliberate is another thing...

@Luneth:
I really like your screenshot. The only thing is that I don't think that the RMXP trees go well with your customized trees. They are two completely different styles from one another, and I think they clash a lot when combined, a bit like if one would combine RTP with Celianna's tilesets. I think you get the analogy.

[Luneth]

@Kaj
Thank you very much, it means a lot to me! Oh, my poor fence... It's the autotile that if it were tangible I would throw it across the room >:D
And thanks a bunch for the crit on the message window I 'fixed' his hair, hopefully.
@jaydee
Thank ya sir for the opinions! The actual map was just a test screen, sorry if I led anyone astray T_T However, I do have a REAL screen from in the intro of my game.



His hair should be better, I think? D:

[BattlesofMorfoth]

Haha, never played pokemon black/white, but that looks cool! (still likin' those map graphics!) Where do you get them from? And, adding some darker stuff will be harder, because I was clearing out my computer and deleted some psd files, so that'll be hard. But I guess I could try!

Close-up's coming soon.

Thanks.

@ak47lol: your maps are great as always. And this Sarian Knight looks well done.

And something from me:
WARNING! IMAGE IS QUITE BIG.

Spoiler:

I'd like to note this is my first parallax map, and I know it looks empty as it is meant to be, because it is an orphanage.

Also, I wonder if the map would lag if I wanted to make map 500x500 tiles (as parallax of course)?

[Celianna]

They are two completely different styles from one another, and I think they clash a lot when combined, a bit like if one would combine RTP with Celianna's tilesets. I think you get the analogy.

... But my tiles compliment the RTP and are even based on them, or edited from. Bad analogy to make.

@Kaimi: a map that size could lag if the filesize is big, but only upon entering it once, after that, it should be fine. I recommend taking out the floor tiles and putting a less saturated version in there, to complete the orphan look.

I'm not quite sure why there's such a fancy dresser inside an orphanage though, when everything else looks completely run-down and of poor quality.

[jaydee15]

@Celianna:
I meant no offense on that. I wrongly based it on the following quote:

My tiles do not go together with XP tiles, because XP has a rather dull color palette, and because it's pixel-art, whereas my tiles fit with VX which has a painterly style.

They go great with Lunarea's and Ying's tiles though, just not with anything made out of pixel-art. I'd say perhaps Ayene's tiles would fit as well, though hers are very contrasted compared to mine.

I should have said XP tiles instead. My apologies for the mistake. I probably thought that even the RTP was pixels instead of "painterly."

[Celianna]

Haha, I see. If you say RTP over here, then you're referring to the RTP of VX, not XP

[Kaimi]

@Celianna: I might change the floor, but I'm really tired of this parallax thing. Also, this 'fancy dresser' I intend to be connected with a sidequest (it will be an allusion to a certain book).

[Luneth]

@Kaimi
I lika the orphanage! It's got the feel to it, and the only other thing I could think of is a winter theme XD
(But that's just me, most movies have orphanages portrayed in winter.) Also, a 500X500 PARALLAX map?!(x 1000)
That would take soooooooooooooooooooo long, but it would be one of the greatest accomplishments in parallax mapping to say the least!
Also, is a lion going to come out of the closet?
@ak
Your sprites are so realistic man, I really like them! (That music almost blew me out of my room too, I spun the volume wheel so it went from 0% to 100% in like a half of a second... Gave me a jolt!) They really add your type of flair to your game!
@Battles
Hm, well if you want I can help you with it, if you wish! Just PM me if you want

[Celianna]

I have a shiny, shiny announcement to make, we have opened up a Game & Map Screenshot thread over at the officials forums as well, I encourage you to post there from now on!

[Kaimi]

@Luneth: Well, the orphanage is located in the wintery zone of the world map. And no, there won't a lion. Thanks for the feedback.

[Napier]

Another sprite... Sarian Knight, Lord Kalgar.





Close-up's coming soon.

Thanks.

I love the Sprites and the overall style! Very good job.

[BattlesofMorfoth]

@Napier First off, don't quote screenshots! It was a specific rule.
Secondly, I agree, but Celianna said that we should post on the new forum, so maybe we should stop posting and wait for mods to close this.

I'm parallaxing my first dungeon.. it's taking awhile but I'm liking the turn out:

[Mustaklaki]

Just some of the basic areas. These aren't the "Hey look I made this one map amazing and screenshotted it." It's just a regular part of the game. Well, except for the Cutscene one underwater. The game is in my siggy, if anybody would like for information. There is also a demo. Basically, this is the outcome of only using Celianna's Tiles and the VX Tiles, and to be quite frank I think I did a fine job (Although, since these images I've gone back and fixed some basic things).

I'm liking a lot of the other people's images too, they're great.

Just chekin out some tileset I have been tinkering around with. There are a bunch of mistakes as you will prolly see and most of you will recognize most of the art is Celianna's, Lunarea's, Mack's and Hanzo Kimura's, but anyway I just already told ye! My tilest is mostly a compilation of their resources, recolours and a bunch of modifications of tiles to fit each other's style. So does it look any good?
