WCOUILLARD'S PROFILE

Still, you have a mapping error: there's a rock sitting atop a tree in the right hand corner of the screenshot. It actually looks like it is also sitting on grass too.

Oh, that's because the trees upper layer isn't applied yet. Gotta finish the map before I can do that. Once it's all mapped I'll separate the tree trunks from the tree leaves, and all the ground objects will rest where they should.

Side note: I was going to add a Mission Mark to this area, but I ended up changing it to a mini-boss instead, to give the player a little more story on the area. Paul and I discussed this area at length before I started making it, so it's rich with plot stuff.

Nice job, Couillie! I hope to see some kind of fog or 'Mist' in this forest.

I wonder if this rabbit has some mystery behind it, like he's a monster in disguise. ;P

Nothing special about it. There's a bunch of wildlife roaming around the woods.

After a location named Phantom Forest/Macalania Woods, I wouldn't expect so much greenery in here. I think the bluish green trees would do nicely enough to set mood here. Also, those RMVX/Ace tiles are too vivid when put on that FFIV:TCC grass tiles.

As I said, I didn't get into shadows, or lighting, or any of that yet. But just to clarify, the deeper you go into the forest, the more... depressing it becomes. You'll see.

What I'm looking for is feedback on how it's laid out here. Like, are the trees too bunched together? Should there be more variety in the trees (I can look for more graphics and add it or rearrange what's there). Is it fine as is? I'll post a more complete shot when I have more work done on it, of course.

Did you make those tiles?

Negative. The ground tiles are ripped from FFIV:CC for PSP and all the trees and stuff are either RTP or Celianna's work.

How's the story of the game coming along? It seems to be the thing you talk
about least of all.

Why would I want to spoil the plot of the game before it's available to be played?

Quantity of prize received.
