Also, wow, loving the idea the inside garden you've got there. I can't wait to see if/when you expand on that!

Thank you! Quite fond of the idea myself, I must say :P

The thing that does need changing in that garden is the fade between grass and cobble.

Yeah I realized that I forgot to do that :P I was gonna make the wall mossy and stuff too but forgot to do it >.<

Try to make green between the cracks and don't make it fade off like that because it doesn't make sense.

Blueperiod recommended on slack that I make the water darker, and the water was in the same layer as all the ground and stuff along with the floating stuff in it, so I couldn't do it else way. I will change it in the real map though, even though I did like it :P It's away from the lights after all.

Also, the flowers are a little too much, since there's so many of them. Not your fault - those flowers in particular are a bit too bright to be used so much. Actually, if you want to go advanced, maybe make various shades of red among them, and some budding ones, too?

Oh! Great idea actually! I'll definetly do that, even though I'll probably have to spend way more time on mapping since there are supposed to be loads of flowers around the garden in big batches.

I do love the little path though - that looks great.

Thanks ^^ It took me less than a minute to make it

(Also, for a place so dark you wouldn't have trees and flowers growing so much, though that's easily explained away by magic or rules of your world, but in case it's set in the real world, you might want to make the light brighter (this is why greenhouses and sunhouses - indoor plant housing - are usually quite well lit).)

Nah, it's not the real world. I mean, yeah it is in real earth but the place isn't real. It's supposed to be an illusion symbolising the MC's love for flowers.
Blue also recommended that I should have a hole that brings light to the garden at the top which is what keeps it alive. I did like that idea too, so I might do that ^^

Hmm, I actually prefer the colors in the original tint. It has a more mystical and alluring kind of tone to it. XD

Trees (and overall composition) are looking great though. The shrubs suffer from the same issue your old trees had. They aren't clearly shaded or distinguishable from the grass textures.

Both are good, but it really depends on what atmosphere you're going for for the area. Is it a warm summer evening kind of thing or a mystic forest kind of thing?

That looks pretty awesome!

Woah, amazing job! Looks very clean and simple, I like it.

I would seriously consider doing something to remove the shadows behind the stairs. Also, the lower diagonal staircase is missing its end piece at the bottom, and the carpet in front of that building (which doesn't seem like a smart place to put such a thing, especially in the rain) is cutting into where the base of the building would be along its edge. You're also missing a roof tile at the joint, and it appears you missed a couple of tiles while you were shift-mapping.

Here's an example of my own take on the tileset, just so that this doesn't come across as me tearing into you without experience.



Ignore the barrel tiles on the rooftops; they're there to enable me a way to set proper passability without the use of an event.

Really cool BadLuck.
It makes me think of a system I had for a different game. Do you have something similar to choose skills like a skilltree? The victorious sprite under the level up text is a nice added touch.

It works similarly to Seiken Densetsu 3's level up system up. Every time you level, your HP increases, but no other stat.

@Ramshackin: thanks for the feedback many, many pages ago ^_^

I tried making the underwater cliffs shorter. How does this look? Too shallow, perhaps? I can make it slightly deeper.
