THE SCREENSHOT TOPIC RETURNS

@pepsi there is a tool in ace that lets you do that, but im not sure about vx. The map looks great though.

Man I can NEVER make decent swamp areas, and this is really good. The house on stilts is a great idea, and I really like the colors you're using here. I'd love to see more of this zone if possible, just to give me ideas and inspiration. But the non-centered character makes me think this isn't actually a whole dungeon, just a cut scene.

It's neither, it's just for tile set testing purposes and probably won't make it in the zone (but maybe in a slightly changed version).

I let you know when I have more of this (even playable stuff where you can see it moving with critters and stuff).

For LockeZ:



@Lotus_games:

nah, it's made in engine, not in PS (don't use that, lol). Thank's for the compliments anyway. And I try to fix that bridge!

@Itaju: Oh my god, looking at this screen has the same effect of strolling in the streets... Only to be suddenly engaged by that smell of chocolate cake being baked, or perhaps chicken, or maybe... Anything feasty really. ;~;
That's cool *-*

I can't stop laughing at Craze's extremely LOL save menu.

Oh, and @Daria:

You forgot a detail on the set of stairs to the left, and I do think that, since it's two different floors, they should be shown in two different maps (at least not aside eachother. Besides this the mapping is pretty good.

In regards to the lightning (wich is the purpose of your test)
You should add a little shading. Refer to the color wheel to see that opposite colors work differently, under sunlight everything tends to be a little more yellow-y, and shadows tend to be of a bluish tint, for example. This applies to every colored lightsource, but even when it's not a colored lightsource, the opposite of white is... Black.
As such, unlit parts should be respectively darker. This might not stand true for real life psychics, but works effectively on lightning design.
Also, contrast is too low... Lightning should primarily DARKEN dark areas, THEN you should come your concern on adding light (& more conntrasting) spots. Nonetheless, nice work. <3

Posting this 'ere since this is for ProjectROSE Gaiden, and not ProjectROSE, so... I don't want to fill my gamepage with lies ;AAAAA;

Yeah, even though you're using monochrome gradients it doesn't stop you from a slight increase in contrast & focus. <3
But... Well, unless you're going old school or those are magical stairs of some sort, it does seem a bit odd... For both rooms, wich are atop one another, be represented at the same height level... It's just me, though, pay no mind. >A> *disappears*

But still it is visible... Like in Final Fantasy 1, for example, you wasn't able to see the higher floor, but you WERE able to see other rooms on the same floor much for the same effect you attained there, independently from connecting doors and I think we've got a language barrier problem here, sorry.
It might be my awful english stopping me from making much sense. ._.
Ugh, I give up. T_T

I SEE NOW
So it's not that I can's SPEAK, more like I can't understand. ._.
I'm sorry, really sorry. <3
*ashamed*
Ohh, it's a matter of luck, I guess... Eventually my english and understanding will be sharpened enough. Sigh

joseph's eye for color continues to amaze and surprise

I want more
