I am....editing tilesets?

Holy shit.
After more than three hours and seriously thinking about quiting RM2k3, I final finished eventing this Custom Title Screen, the RM2k3 gods have not forsaken me yet. :) (Also shout out to PepsiOtaku for the help.)
Reduxing majority of my four hour project: Trine+Tine into a 10 day remaster version, which changes level designs and scaling to make it winnable, at a level below 99.

So far, it seems to be working. I can get to level 3 without dying right away.
Finished databasing last night and leaving it to rhyme to make them evil.
Now trying VX mapping and HATING it.

That looks overly complicated.
  • Finished the Title Screen Menu

  • 50% on the Battle System

  • Remaping and Spriting 30%:I've literally have spent hours spriting objects and tilesets to fit the RTP style, this is the most boring process ever.


Hide button doesnt work for me lemme know if you can see this or not.


The title screen twinkles and fades and their is a little introduction that is pretty cute before it. I need help working with lighting and shadows, if anyone would like to help me out I'd be willing to do something for them in return. Back to the cave.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

The hide button just doesn't work in Post Preview mode. I like your title screen, I'd probably remove your username from it though. At least give yourself a company name. "Developed by AL Productions"

I feel your pain on the spriting, that is the part of game design that makes me abandon games. I've probably spent 50 hours editing and adding tiles/sprites for my game, and I'm only done 5% of the areas. The worst part is when you do such a good job matching the RTP that in the end people still just think it's unedited RTP.
That looks awesome, Ashley_Lacure! I love the little Walk/Run icon!
Edit: Skie already tested the prototype only to have crash on her computer.

@Skie: Thanks for letting me know so I can make sure it doesn't crash period.

Spent all night making THIS in Gimp by frankensteining together various parts and layers and actually drawing a fair bit of it by hand. (The windshield wipers will actually be animated.)



You're going to have to zoom in to see the detail as it's a much smaller image on a 544x416 canvas.
The dimensions of the image as a whole are ridiculous but with that said it looks nice, whats wrong with the left side? Or are you still working on it.

Edit: I can barely see the guy on the passenger side whys that.

The dimensions of the image are just the dimensions of the RPG Maker VX screen; so I can get the coordinates to "upper left 0,0" and still have the car appear in the center of the screen. It's more convenient that way than trying to guess and check the exact middle.


Northern Continet. Do note how many towns there are. (I want to put the exploration of Skyrim with oldschool flare, thus this.)
That map has an awful lot of archipelago going on, and some rounded corners wouldn't hurt.

That aside, taken as a whole, the map looks pretty good. There are a couple of areas that look like they would be tedious to navigate in 1:1 scale, since you would just be surrounded by the same tiles for a screen and a half in any direction, but it is still a hell of a lot better than any world map I've ever come up with.

"Girl, you've got a lot of archipelago goin' on."
Looks great! I agree with pretty much everything Killer Wolf said.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, i was considering remodeling some areas, like the forests.

As for the rounded corners, that's just because the ocean tiles make it look sharper. The other one that actually looks GOOD is not animated, so i'm stuck with this for a while.

Well, you wouldn't expect the continent to be strainght land, right? The islands make it looks a lot less blobby.

One heck of a thing i'm going to have trouble with, is the fact that so many towns means i'll have trouble proceeding the story if you simply AVOID the storyline towns.

why would i heal when i could equip a morningstar

lol what.

Why? What does that do except make you sound like a tool?
it emits false professionalism and makes you become one with the RM gods
Darken and LockeZ-sama you are both so knowledgeable I'll make sure to express my false professionalism with Box Art instead.
