HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY MAPS ?

I see what you mean, we weren't talking about the same shelves, I think Mr_Detective meant the two shelves on the left of the windows, which should definitely be moved up 1 tile.
Actually, they should be moved up 16 pixels so that they line up with the sink next to them. Easy to do in an image editor and it won't take up any extra space on the tileset, since there's 16 pixels above them that is empty.

If they're moved up one tile, the bottom of them will be sitting on the wall, which will look terrible. Yeah, they're set up oddly. :\
Yeah, I was talking about the shelves by the windows. I replaced them with different tiles so they would look better. As for the shelves below the left wall, I also made a small changes to the last tile as Liberty said.



Oh by the way, should I let the players walk over all the chairs ?
If you can, it would be cool if the could walk over the chairs from the sides but not the back. Like Pokemon!
Ah I did mean the shelves by the windows, but seeing them moved up I can see the difference.

I'd say that table with the fowerpot is really cluttering the top, I'd take it out, but that's really nitpicking..?
Or move them to the bottom left. It looks a little lonely there.
Hehehe, I was going to ask about the same thing XD

What I could do is move the backpack back to where the flowerpot is. I can't move it to the lower left, it would get in the way of the bookshelf, and it won't look right.

I can't move it anywhere else, so it 's either leave it, or remove it and replace it with the other backpack.
...You could eliminate the flower table and put the flowers in the middle of the large table, as a centrepiece.
Then move the backpacks/bags, to the lower left, as though the members came in, dumped their bags and got down to business.
Well, the thing is, we never see any kind of flower on that table, as they would get in the way when they talk. Also, they always carry their bags right next to them, so putting them on the lower left isn't right...

Putting the flower in the middle could work, but is there a better solution ? :P
You could cut the flower altogether or take the top part and put it somewhere to make it look like there's an overlap happening, like at the lower left, or at the end of the left-side cabinets. That way you don't have the bulk of the table getting in the way, but an added illusion of flowers being in the room. (See in the map I provided in one of my previous posts where you can see only the top of the flowers then the wall edge).
Hell, you could probably use an event to put them on the actual shelves (both side and back wall ones). The way the flower tile is set up, it should fit fine on them. You just have to have the part that will be on top of the shelves in an event (like a characterset) and set to above hero. That would make sense since people do put things on top of shelves. You could probably add some books and stuff on the side ones, too, to give a more 'lived in/used' feel to the room.


Okay, I decided that it 's better to just remove it.

I stared at that image for 5 seconds since it looked familiar and then I remember were I have seen it.

Dude! it's awesome, it really looks very similar, congratulations.
*cough* The red dress could be a playboy bunny costume *cough*
Thank you ! And yeah, that could be the bunny costume as well, but sadly it doesn't really look like one. :D
By the way, the Light Music clubroom from K-On is going to be in the game as well. :P

Now I have to work on the town, the school interior, and the cyber-world... It 's going to be a tough road ahead. ;)
Hey guys, for the school entrance, should I make the walkway at the gate a bit wider ?

Oh by the way, thanks to MrChearlie for providing me the incredible tile of Mikuru 's costumes. :D

Wow, they're really nice! As for the entrance of the school, considering the length of the gate, I don't see it bigger, personally.
And thanks kaiterra for providing transparency.

So... Should I leave the path like that or widen it ?

I added all of you guys' name in the Credits section. :P
