CAZ'S PROFILE

This hasn't yet been updated, but the tree trunks needed more shadowing anyway to stop them from looking so flat. And yes, I did write that tutorial so it makes sense that I'd use the same technique, don't you think? :P

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll get rid of that brown building, if not at least fix that awful roof.. but if I got rid of it, I'd put hay around that other building instead. ^^

What are you using to take screenshots? This picture looks quite squished.. Have you tried pressing the Print Screen button on your keyboard and pasting the picture into MSPaint?

Also, I think Ratty means that this town looks pretty bare. Even if this is just a field or garden, it's a little bit bland. In real life, when we see vast spaces full of grass we think it looks nice like a tidy park or something. In video games, it's unfortunately a different story.. Take a look at this tutorial. It shows you how smaller spaces filled with more things are better than wiiiide open spaces with nothing in. You should use large maps sparingly unless you know how to fill them in an interesting way. I hope to see you learn and improve your maps!

Thanks, I was going for something more painted-looking!

Hey thanks! I aim to do something a bit nicer with the tileset in later screenshots, so it won't look half as cluttered!
