Seeing that you just started this game, I I would really like to advise you not to use RTP graphics, most people are not interested in that kinds of games and it makes your game not unique. Also good mapping is like an inventation card, if people don't like that they don't even bother (no matter how good the rest of your game is). It's sad but it's true :(.

And ripped/Mac & Blue/refmap graphics make games unique? Not interested in "that kinds of games"? I could direct you towards Hero's Realm and beg to differ. I'd also like to quote myself on why games that are unique aren't necessarily good.

Yep.
All because something is unique does not mean that it's good. Case in point, I couldn't even stand Yume Nikki. Big empty maps with no clear indication of a way out nor direction = terrible game design. This is the problem with most games that promote their custom graphics/systems. Such games, at their core, do nothing new with the systems, and even more fall back on those systems to make their games any good while everything else suffers.

I would much rather play a Final Fantasy fangame using RTP graphics and music that was highly entertaining, well put together, complete with a compelling storyline than "Hey, look at my menus! Oh, my game? Bah, I just took the tree graphic and put them symmetrically in a square for this one map. Go back and drool at that amazing battle system I slaved over for 7 months."
