Okay, so maybe not as tough as it sounds but it still takes forever to do. I've only finished about 1/8 of the map for the Aurali village. I'm using a script to export the map from the engine to a .png to speed up the process, but it's still taking a while.

I've also went ahead and set up a personal blog on wordpress. It's for all of my projects (including my musical life) and can be found here.

Some screens will be posted on the wordpress blog, but all of them will be posted here on the RMN page.

Parallaxing is all I've done today. Once I finish the Aurali village (inside houses and all) I'll complete the Alchemy system.

EDIT:
Here's a screen shot of the part of the map that I've been working on. This particular area is about 75% complete. Still only about 1/8 of the map though.
