TOPHATPHIL'S PROFILE

Provided you are still looking for help, you may want to provide as much info as you can about the maps. Things like concept sketches, continent descriptions, the maps you may have created for it already, the number of dungeons and placement throughout the world...etc.

Totally, I just realized the most I said was 4 continents. Well The two larger continents are furthest east and west. Named Eastundr and Westundr. Eastundr is a very temperate continent, with a large forest on the north half that transitions into a marsh in the southeast. A main reason for this is the fact that it is heavily favored by the gods over the other continents. Which would also explain why this is also the richest continent, anything coming from Westundr must come through Eastundr. The people there enjoy a high standard of living and are very rarely accosted by the gods. Things are considerably worse off in Westundr, which contains a very large desert to the north and a savanna-like grassland in the south. The main areas of civilization are around a very long, winding river in the center of the continent and the southern coastline(where all the ports are located). The next continent is Northundr. This continent is basically Siberia, except Spring stopped coming long ago, the snow never melts. The people who live are tough, because they have to be. All the buildings are made of stone, except for the larger ones which require iron to stand. Anything imported, of course, comes from Eastundr. Even though Northundr is technically closer to Westundr, Nothing can be shipped from there due to the large ice shelf that has formed on Northundr's west coastline(the gods' doing, of course). Westundr and Northundr haven't been in direct contact for over a century. The fourth continent is in the middle of all the others, and is significantly smaller. This is the land of the gods, referred to by the mortals simply as "The Seat." No mortal has stepped foot on this continent in over 150 years. I'll focus on the details of the continent though, This continent is beautiful. Absolute perfection, except for the World Scar, which is the entrance to the underworld. It's basically a large black crevice. Each of the gods has a castle on this continent, all along a single path, the "Champions' Road." And a large building at the end of the path, the Pantheon(I haven't come up with a name for it yet). So there's some details on the continents themselves, I am working on some concept sketches that may take a while to upload and stuff, due to not having a scanner. But yeah. Lot of text.

Some questions in regards to the map:

1. What maker are you using?

2. Is this a custom tileset, a downloaded tileset, or the RTP?

3. Would you be able to post some screenshots of what you have so far?

1. VX Ace

2. RTP because this I really just want to use this game to learn how to make better games, and meet some people who can help me make better games.

3. Things have changed. No more 500x500 overworld. I was dumb for even thinking about doing that.

Your 2 days of dedication are an inspiration to us all.

I'm impulsive, I do these kind of things, got the idea, bought the maker, and got to work

So I'm pretty dedicated to this now. I came up with this idea for this game 2 days ago and have started making it. It's a pretty massive project. 3 large continents, 1 small one. The overworld map is 500x500 and I need help filling it and making it look better. That's all I really need right now. I might need some writers and stuff later on but I want help building my world. Thanks in advance!

edit: So definitely not doing 500x500. Waaaayy too much empty space. 4 different overworlds sounds much more reasonable. "Help" can also be interpreted as tips and such instead of actual mapping, this is a side project and I don't think I should be asking people to devote their time to it.
