@megaman8x: Pretty interesting and unique style.
Are those things at the lower left cannons? If so they look like they are missing a bottom. Maybe either add a bottom or make the hole of the barrel smaller.

@Topic: Did make some changes to the castle, after that flood of feedback.
There is still like 50% emptiness, but I am feeling very Zen about it. ;)

The one thing I have not added is more snow.
Some more just didn't feel right and going all out didn't seem like a good option either. Not going for realism anyway.

@Skyrockerable: Some might disagree with the following, but if the sand tiles should indicate a way, I'd suggesting making a proper way, right now the placement seems pretty random.
The pile of firewood seems to be a bit far away from the house and there is no seperate fireplace nearby, so don't know why you placed it there.
I'd also like to know if this is the whole map, or just part of it. If its the whole map you might want to add some kind of obstacles/boarders to the edge areas that don't lead to another map, to help the player recognise where he can get to the next map. (I am assuming you don't place teleport events on the whole two open sides)

@Topic: I am in the middle of remaking some older maps, the original was pretty horrible compared to the new one, but I still have the problem of too much empty space and not much to fill it with. (Except for the southern open area inside the castle, there will be a big greenhouse placed there later on)
Whole map as seen in the Town Building System:

Close-up view:

I don't really want to make the map smaller, as it is supposed to be a big castle. I tried adding a different ground pattern as well as torches and spread some boxes and pots to make it less boring. (Not sure about the boxes and pots though, I don't want to use too many, they really belong in a storage room, not out in the open)

Edit: Added basically all the shops, that I wanted to place inside, on the outside.

@Rave: There are scales if you select the fish icon in the "Skin" section.
If that is insufficient to get a dragony feeling, feel free to edit the character as much as you like. The generator is meant as a help, not a limitation.

[Poll] Is Piracy Ethical?

No.

Now piracy on the other hand, there is nothing wrong with it.
In fact I have statistical data suggesting a correlation between the decreasing number of pirates and global warming.

Anyway, what I meant to say is, we should go at it oldshool style:
- Pick a buisness
- Forcefully enter it
- Slaugther all the employes
- Take the booty

Best thing would be to make a contract with a government or corporation to make the whole thing legal.

I can already see westerners allied with microsoft entering stores selling PS4s.

Trying to improve some of my maps based on feedback:

(Better shadows, no more flowers, ways no longer strictly vertical/north-south or horizontal/east-west, new graphics program with other brushes)

@LockeZ: That's the spirit!

@ShorStar: Very creative, but if you get rid of one attack and upload a character picture for him, you're in.

Got a title for my zero-drive-sideproject

Funfact: The Main title is an anagram of the acronym of the subtitle. Yay

The game tells the story of Lucy, a young pirate who was thrown overboard of his ship and rescued by ninjas who trained him in their hidden village. He later died defending said village from a zombie attack and was then trained by death gods, only to be brought back to live by a scientist who had to replace some of his vital organs with robot parts.
Oh, and of course there will be heroins with balloon sized boobs and censored tentacle rape too.

Release: Hopefully never. Hopefully.
