Well then, I might just have to steal the prize idea from you!

=O

Here's a screen of me trying to make a custom message system. I KNOW, it's ugly! But, for unknown reasons even to me, I like it!

Actually, it fits pretty well with the RTP. The only thing ugly about it is that it's a .jpg. =P (Use .pngs instead)

Or maybe you could use the slight gradient that's in the RTP system. Dunno, your choice. (Or you could do something where that option is changeable.)

@Azn: It is .png file, but I think photobucket might have messed with it? IDK.

Um, Orig, I hope you realize that the faceset you're using for that woman is actually a man. :x

lol

It's not a woman, you silly. ::)

Jakester: Looks pretty good, but there's enough space in the little box to move up the character set's face a little bit. Oh yeah and the game was called Till We Meet Again. It's going to be a lot better this time around. Or so I hope.

Liberty: You are awesome with RTP. That is all.

Also, calm down thar son @ harm. :o

It couldn't have been more obvious that I was kidding.

How does this new village tileset look? :D I still got some other crap to work on with this thing. I'll make the doors and stuff for the area soon. :D Makes it villagey. The rip is from ToP PSX. You can find it at Spriters Resourece but you'll have to make the tileset. Once I make the fully completed tileset I'll submit it here for everyone to enjoy!

Not only J-Man that is an awesome rip but your mapping and general look of that screen just look really good. I really enjoyed Phantasia Remake and could tell instantly you've improved from the last game I played of yours.. Phantasia 3 I think. I agree with FG about the sprite though. The sprites colors are way to bright and stick out too much, try diffrent shades and maybe a darker tone to it.

In-game, with the ABS:

And good news for me: after a long-long time of just making battle systems and useless minigames, I actually sat down and wrote something that looks like a story for a game. I'm think I might actually have something here, and as soon as I have more solid info about it to give away, and I'll start working on it, I will open a devlog here for the game. Man, I hope I won't wake up tomorrow morning and think that my idea sucks.

That looks awesome East! great to see you making some more progress with that.

I myself have been working on chips for Toy Soldiers, the surface world innners in particular.

Can't people think for themselves? Come on, Lennon. Ya copied the interior of the houses in Saturn Valley. Also, the fact that the guy has an afro annoys the crap outta me. I HATE afros almost as much as I hate the people who grow them. I want more games with original graphics. Not JRPG stuff. GOD. You people are annoying. But, I do like your map, East.

Ok.
So basically I'm copying Earthbound because you said so even though the only parallels between Earthbound and Toy Soldiers is the fact that I use block coloring (which is indeed more simplistic than Earthbound as there were details in Earthbound)
and the fact that I have circular houses, and let me tell you circles and circular housing were not invented by Nintendo or Ape Software or Shigesato Itoi. The fact that he has an afro honestly doesn't matter one fucking bit, and basically what you've told me is that by giving him an afro my graphics are somehow even less original, even though I guarantee you that almost nothing like my work is on this site besides more of my work. Yeah so I guess East is thinking for himself cause he ripped like 90% of those screens from rudras, so hes sooo damn original (No offense to you east).

Yes I realize I'm raising this concern over graphics and just the fact that someone doesn't like them, but come on man, you're just making a fucking dumb and annoying claim as far as I'm concerned, instead of just telling me "Those are similar to Saturn Valley", which I would've taken lightly and probably have said "haha, yeah, I guess you're right, they do look similar."

God damn man, sorry for raging and all but I HATE being accused or plagarism or copying something entirely, and even more so I hate being told I'm not even the slightest bit original, and that I can't think for myself.

I will admit, I got the idea for block coloring from Mother 3, but that doesn't mean I'm ripping it off.

Alright I'm done, this post is waaay too long now.

EDIT: And btw, complaining about wanting more original graphics when I made everything in those screens myself is a bit dumb, don't you think?
