Nothing really new, just wanted to show the new sprite in action.
Ended way too soon, really nice trailer Tau. I enjoyed the atmosphere of you're maps. Very simple and clean look to all of them.
I've been using parallax mapping more and more after I switched from XP to VX Ace. It adds some real freedom to what you can do, I think.
What IS that screenshot, SnowOwl? I can't make anything out!

I thought it looked like a garden, but i think UPRC has a good point, SnowOwl. Your stuff is cool, but sometimes it's really hard to make out what you're looking at because of the textures you're using (and perhaps the lighting too).

Looking good, maybe a bit more light, so we can really enjoy the picture and the depth.
It's definitely a cool looking screenshot, but I just can't tell what anything is.
It's supposed to be a path with rocky slopes on each side,
probably easier to make out when playing it.
I'll see what I can do about it.

Edit:

Ignore the lines, those got there when I downsized the pic.
Is it clear what it is now?
LockeZ
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 lighting definitely helps. That kind of grainy ground texture is still unusual for games, I think because it makes it hard to tell where objects start and end. It's not really hard, it's mostly just not how I expect it to look. Is it a horror game? If so it's perfect.

Looks much better (I figured what it was, just thought the sides were much higher).

It's horror'ish. I wouldn't say it's pure horror.

Good, I wouldn't want to put too much work on this place, because it's the only place with this look. I'll keep in mind the lightning in the future, even more than I do now.
Seems like something I have trouble with, maybe my screen is lighter/clearer than most others.

From what I learned from the wise NewBlack, that a dark image on this white background is going to appear really dark.
It's probably totally fine in game, of if you had it on a dark background.

I never considered that. But I HAVE been getting complaints about my games being kinda dark, from people who played them, so it's probably not completely wrong.
I'm not sure this map was the worst offender, though.

Ah, I see. I could see it fine, I got what everything was, but I also have good vision.
Kinda reminds me of some kind of Diablo game that was released before the 1st on like playstation or super nintendo, I like that.
You might as well show a screenshot from ffvi, the only major difference is the screen res.

Love those books, so much better han the default ones, maybe the floor could be of a different color, just an idea?

Correction, FFV. To be fair, the original location that chipset is based from has nowhere near a similar layout.

I'm not sure if that'll go in the final game or not. But if I do it'll be edited uite a bit. If not, it's just an exercise of mapping skills.

@Lotus - Thanks, I'll try remedy that next time.

Do my eyes deceive me? Progress shown of Chronology.. Haha looks good man, though I'm a bit iffy about those corners being curved and the bookshelf being flat. But you did say it was a WIP so.

It lives! Look!



FF5's library was really one of the neatest looking places in the entire game. Glad to see that you're using it in your chipset!
