JAYESZ666'S PROFILE

Maybe you're just being too traditional with your concept of a dungeon.

Open google, type "office blueprint" and go to images. You'll find things like this:

Now imagine some of these rooms are locked and you need keys to open them, and these keys are to be found in other rooms, and some of the rooms involve puzzles like hacking a computer, putting together boxes to climb a shelf, killing a monster (whatever monsters you are using in this), or just meeting NPCs that require you to give them items (also to be found in other rooms) to give up advice that will allow you to proceed, etc.

It looks pretty dungeon-ish to me. A dungeon doesn't have to be a maze.

I haven't made this dungeon like a maze, although it does have maze-ish elements... I had managed to increase the dungeon quality through locked doors etc as you had mentioned, I just couldnt get the LOOK right...

Thank for the idea of googe-ling office blue print, I would never had thought of that in a million years, calunio..! :-D

@ AznChipmonk; its not that I concider functionality to be a bad thing, its just that I couldn't get the graphical LOOK right... It either looked TOO realistic, or to haphazard...

How did I miss this game? It looks wonderful... Loving it... :-D

Not bad not bad at all... but try and make the forest tree 'blocks' less rectangular/square... :-)

Hello everyone..!

The current project that I'm working on has come to a bit of a halt...

In a nut shell, even though I've been working with RPG Maker 2003 since it came out, few of my projects have gotten to a point where I had to map dungeons... of if the project DID get to that point they were always caves/mines/forests etc...

My current projects first 'dungeon' is set in the administration offices/refinery's of an abandoned mine, so the dungeon needs to have a more modern feel...

But every time I make the map (and I've revised it about 6 times now) it either looks too random to be an admin office, or is so formally set out that it doesn't play well as a dungeon...

So I need to ask all you guys and gals out there, if you know any RPG Maker or Commercial games that HAVE modern looking dungeons so I can analyse them and get some ideas...

Thanks..!

It might be 'just a shop', but its a damn sexy shop..!

Love the cat, btw... but how can you add a new screen to a game that supposedly cancelled..?
