HIKITSUNE-RED'S PROFILE

Crown of Kings would be 10 reviews in each week.

The stuff at the bottom is a language I use for story-writing... You're better off ignoring it XD

Again duly noted, as this map is far from finished.

why not just make smaller maps and do them parallax-style? you've got these wide walkways and then clusters of stuff you've overlapped spotted around like patchwork. i've never understood the point of that yanfly script.

Well, to be honest, the patchiness is due to a weird mixture of laziness, efficiency, and personal taste. While I love games that use parallax-mapping, I feel like there is often too much going on in the background, and while it is aesthetically pleasing, it sort of detracts from the experience. Here, I used a mixture of both RTP and Doodad assets in an attempt to keep an RPG feel (think pokemon with its weirdly straight line rows of trees) and yet allow the player to see some sort of break from the odd mundanity of trees placed in patterns.
I - for one - like the look of this, and feel like it matches what I hope to get across. It also allows the game to pull away from a claustrophobic feel that is all-to-present in RPGs these days, and while I understand the virtue of 'less is more', that just isn't the aesthetic I want.

To be honest about Yanfly's purpose in making this Plug-In, I am - in a sense - misusing it. Yanfly created this largely for mobile platforms, as packaging images with a game increases its file-size, and puts weird amounts of stress on mobile devices.
I have no intention of ever putting any of these on mobile, I use this Plug-In in no small part for convenience.

Thanks for the input, though. I will certainly keep everyone's thoughts in mind!
