FROGGE'S MAPS WORKSHOP

Posts

That last map is a bit too detailed, methinks. Needs a bit more white space on the ground and there's far too many floating continents hovering about. Remember, sometimes less is more.


The shape of it actually reminds me of that one island in FF5.

Well never played FF but I gotta say, you are right. I mostly took inspiration from an image I saw while google searching of an island with that shape.

Here's a concept of a game idea I have(inspired by a dream I had yesteday :P I should start keeping a dream journal. I'd get so many game ideas)

(Edit: Updated. Now has an edge and walls below the roof)

I'm back! Did you miss me? Admit it, you missed me!
I recently purchased Ancient Dungeons Base Pack. Here's my first map using it :3
That's really nice, Froggy. Is it parallaxed?

Yup! And thanks, I'm glad you like it! :3
It's by far the best use of the set that I've seen. The tree that is connected with the cliff wall looks kind of weird though. I'd just make the leaves/tree head a bit smaller.
This kind of inspires me to make an epic and traditional RPG like CT. ^^ The graphics are definitely reminiscent of that game and its medieval style.

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

I disagree; the overlap just enhances the impression of depth in my eyes.
We talking about the one on the left, where the rest of the tree just disappears and is absorbed into the cliff? Because, yeah, that's awkward. It'd be one thing if it were behind the back of a cliff, but this is the side of a cliff - it is basically just cutting off.


Aside from that, nice jorb. >.<)b

Now that I think about it, I actually agree. I wanted to add some eye candy but it doesn't actually make much sense haha :P But of course, only a bit of the root is touching the edge. The leaves could actually easily bounce off of the cliff. I'll watch out for it in my later maps though.

Really disappointed with this but whatevs
Yeah, the tint really washes out the colours which doesn't help it look varied at all. Also, different types of grass and details might help. Longer grass, for example, or how about some indents in the ground since there's so many small hills? It just feels a little bland.
The map is pretty good, but the colors aren't that great IMO. It kind of looks washed out. I'd make the graphics less gray, if that makes sense.

EDIT: Yeah, I was talking about the tree to the left that is is basically absorbed by the side of the cliff. It would be cool if it was behind the cliff, but it's not in this case.

Exactly. As I said I was disappointed with it. I was too lazy to add any tall grass since it's parallaxed and working with auto tiles in parallax is a pain in the butt.

Not as good as I was expecting, but still satisfied with this.

Don't much like the overlay in the first. The second would be interesting except that the water would have filled the whole if there weren't a place for it to constantly drain, and even then, it would not only fill part of the map because water runs where there is a downslope OR all over the damn place. There is no visible indicator of level change (downslope) in the image, so it's very hard to believe that the water would only spread that far before fading off like that. Especially with how much water is pouring in.

It's an interesting concept, though, and could work if you put stairs at the area where it tapers off (you'd have to make your own stairs that are upside-down), or give some visible sign of a ground sink or spread the water evenly and/or have cracks or something in the floor for it to flow off through, to give the illusion of constant draining to go with the constant filling.

Nope, make custom maps and we will talk.

''Custom maps''? Do you mean maps with custom tiles? Lol, sorry. No. I'm not an artist, however give me your resources and I'd be more than happy to map with them.

Thanks Kloe :) I should probably revive this thread >.< It's been a while since I shared here

Or edits, map addons that would fit with the RTP style.
