JAMESSERX10'S PROFILE

Greetings! I'm Jamesserx10, a game designer using RPG Maker VX. I've been using the RPG Maker programs since RPG Maker 2003, but have never posted any of the games online, until now with the project I'm currently working on. I'm just a typical designer looking to become better, my goal however, is to take elements of Western RPGs and JRPGs to make a match made in heaven of the two. Hopefully I can achieve that one day.

Mapping Techniques (Yes I read the other forum from start to finish)



Ok I felt this one is a bit more sporadic...Which, being a highly (insert logical portion of brain, I don't know it, here) brain person, felt strange, but I suppose that should be the case in nature. Anyway, I felt this time to put some flowers in as you guys suggested, along with some bushes. The biggest addition, was that of the cut down trees in my opinion. I felt, that since a village, regardless of size would need wood for fire and building or what not, they would probably cut down some trees. Thus I put some cut down trees into the environment along with some piles of wood representing what has become of them.

Alright, let's see if I can't strike a happy medium, I'll be back with V3 haha.

Edit: Oh btw Narcodis, it's not discouraging at all. To me blunt advice is better than any other kind of advice.

Facemaker?

Haha those are funny. I've seen creepier though...
But due to Chuck Norris I'm not allowed to post them. It's against my religion...Chuck Norris-ism.

Whats the worst thing you ever saw in high school?

Worst thing I saw? The welcome sign. School sucks :D

Ok so here's my second shot at this. I took out the sporadic trees and plants in favor (hopefully) of a more controlled tree environment. I attempted to make the trees as conformed, yet not conformed for being nature, as possible. As the villagers would probably cleared the trees to make the road, yet again, as you guys stated, nature isn't in blocks. As for the sign, I moved it off to the side of the road, in hopes of not blocking passage. I still felt as if the village/house need SOME source of water, so I put the pond instead on the east side without a well. I again placed tall grass where the pond used to be, trying to fill in some space, attempting to be not as conform as possible again. I also added the child near the pond, as the village needed to feel more alive than just a lone blacksmith living here.

Facemaker?

Yah I did some searching around after I posted that, I'm gonna use a script I found. Already got it working.

Yanfly ftw.

Well. I'm in the same boat as Max here, my room is FAR to messy to navigate. And ya, thanks for the extra advice, I'm thinking about scrapping my whole project and making a short game based around completing quests for a small village just to get some extra mapping experience in a smaller setting. Wait, should I modify the map I posted to specifics you guys have stated and see how that does? I'm trying to get a system down here so I don't end up screwin up again.

P.S. to Nickdad, yah I'm James. I figured I'd use my more obvious nickname considering I planned on doing more talking here than posting. I coulda been Zencurse haha.

Facemaker?

Woah wait, you can have nameboxes? Well that'd be great. Because I can make sprites no problem at Famitsu. IS it like a script addon? If so I'd really appreciate a link or a reference etc.
And jeez, didn't think I'd started such a large forum last night.

Yah, I was looking at Ill Will, the other day and my jaw dropped. The maps were awesome. Alright, I'll give it a shot. By the way, how often do you normally have a total wipe of game information, because now on this game I'm up to 3 for redoing maps.

Facemaker?

Haha. See, now that is exactly why I asked in the first place, thanks.Unfortunately, I don't want to use the base face sets, any good places to find some good resources?
