THE SCREENSHOT TOPIC RETURNS

I updated the screen with a results message, I guess it makes more sense.
There is actually a background, but the tiles are covering it. :P
He's wearing his birthday suit cause he stays like that the entire game. :)

"Path of Justice 2" is in production. Publicly, that is. If you ever played the first one then you'll remember how ungodly difficult it was. Yeah, POJ2 won't be like that.

Here's a screeny-thing...

I think both of them look pretty damn good, LWG. I'd consider them equal in terms of quality.

Mitsuhide, I like the new screenie. The Mystic Quest aspect helps define what's going on and where we're going.

LWG, you're a godsend.
I'm actually looking for a decent town chipset for a ramshackle type village. What/where is that from?

LWG, I like both of them, I don't think you have any trouble designing towns, they looks perfectly good to me :)
Here are the last 2 screenshots from my Lost King game (for those who still remember it, you should be happy that I'm pretty close to finishing it)
This is a ghost town, where you can cross to the underworld, a parallel undead version of the town, I have yet to add npc's though.

and the underworld version

@Mitsuhide: Not bad, the banner at the top with the city as the backgrond is a very cool touch. Maybe the size of the font is too big, but if you don't plan to have long names in your game I guess it's ok. What I really think can be greatly improved, though, is the mapping. The shapes of the landmasses are too straight and squarey, they should look more "natural" if you know what I mean

@Little Wing Guy: Both maps look good already, but in the first one, why don't you try to place the outer wall further away from the houses? I don't quite like how the it takes the shape of such small a town, it feels kind of cramped to me. And in the second, the only thing that really bothers me are the copypasted houses. But maybe I'd also take out most of the tall grass. It's too bright. xP

@Cray: That looks sweet! I like the color scheme of the underworld version of the town, it's pretty wacky. I see you added a few bones here and there but I think the differences should be more drastic, how about spiderwebs, blood, fires, cracks on the houses, etc? I noticed as well that the rocks and flowers stayed the same but they should change too, or perhaps disappear completely.

oooh. I like that misty effect at the bottom of the cliffs. Especially with the treetops emerging from it.

Obligatory screenshot nitpick : Your tombstone is off center from the path.

Wcouillard that is so sweet!!!

anyone have a screen of the original zelda? ;)

That feeling unnaturalness disappears once you get further east on the overworld...but, yeah, I've already edited the western island there (the one in the screenshot) to feel a bit more natural.

@Rockmilk - That looks incredible! Will there be an English translation?
