SCREENSHOT SURVIVAL 20XX

Oh my god where can I get that menu system?! It looks so wonderful! The graphics are amazing! You sir, are the official trans-awesome user of RMN.

*Edit*
Alright decided to do another exercise map(like I don't do enough of those already :P). I wanted to try working with overlay to make it look similar to this and this. (Raven Noah & Linus)
I think I failed.... Any advice on how I can improve my next maps?(This isn't game footage. Tha character lantern and all that stuff are also added from GIMP so yeah this isn't a real game, sorry if I got your hopes up :P I can't go back and edit this now since I saved it as png and all layers are combined together).

Yeah that looks pretty good, and actually I prefer small maps to giant spacious maps.

I feel like sharing the other practice map I did because why the hell not?

Xtreme, both of those maps look fantastic. The UI for the first game is great, along with the lantern effect.

So does yours, Milennin. Even though the layout is strange, it's rather cute.

Thanks. :)

What is it that makes the lay-out strange?

@Milennin: Looks pretty nice. Is that an edited RTP? Looks kind of familiar to me...

It's part RTP and part self-made assets in the style of the RTP.

@Milennin:
That's a pretty good attempt, but there's a few things I'd suggest: First, reuse some more of the previous angles shades in each new segment of wall. Right now, each new angle (flat, slightly curved, really curved) contrasts too sharply with the angle before it. Secondly, you might want to add a few pixels to the top side of the wall, like most autotiles use, to show a little bit of depth. Lastly, and this is a bit minor, but the table and ground are almost the exact same colour. It's still easy to tell them apart, but it's a minor nitpick. I really like the vibe of the area though!

I've been working on my first village. Here's a screenshot of the interior of one of the huts, a herb shop. Does it look serviceable? Am I missing stuff? (yes, it's supposed to be very small)

Nice rtp style going on here, but I think you should add some depth to the wall. It's creating this weird illusion that it's paper thin. Maybe half to one tile deep?

Thanks for the feedback. Gave the walls some depth at the top. Smoothened the shading on the angles a bit. Made the table slightly darker, but it's hard with the limited amount of browns I have, lol.

@ED:That 2nd screen looks nice, but please ditch the sunbeam effect. Please.

Actually, many people on twitter said they loved the sunlight effect, so I might keep using it :P

Started on a town. It's actually one of the hardest areas to map in an RPG.

No NPCs yet. Still busy with the sprite-work.

Looks good so far Luchi! But those boxes from the first screenshot are aligned in a weird way, and also what is a pool doing on the top of a wall?

Yeah it somehow looks more appealing now

The cobblestone paths in your second pic have a curvy, organic look to them, but they're man-made paths. Since someone came along and laid those stones, they'd mostly be nearly straight, turn purposefully, or curve around naturally obstacles likes trees/rocks. Nice map though :)

Actually it is not man made :P Thanks for the feedback
