XENOMIC'S PROFILE

I already cut it down from 200x30 to 88x30, so it'll be much easier to tell what it's supposed to be. It COULD be smaller, but I didn't make it smaller because I want the player to explore it (there are hidden items here) and there's also a cutscene for a character if you happen to have her when you come here. This is also the area where you fight Yuyuko at (as a boss), so it has some importance.

I plan on updating the sheet using this spritesheet:




Which I had a friend of mine update the previous tileset this garden used with all of these flowers and whatnot. I think this'll work for a garden, assuming I do it correctly.

Update to Winter Forest! For reference, this is the old map:



Yeah, quite a drastic change eh? Don't mind the caves, they're not done yet, and expect a few mapping errors here and there. This is the first time running through the map after finishing it, so there's bound to be some errors here and there. A lot of the stuff you see here, such as trees bunched together, or bushes in front of one another, was done by eventing. It's the only way I CAN do it that way!

So tell me, what do you guys think? Would you like to see more videos of other updated areas? Think it's too long? Note that I did do this with random encounters turned off, and remove about a minute or 2 for the start and end, and well...it's about 4-5 minutes long. Not really that bad all things considered, even with random encounters.

I was getting lag on my old computer by a regular 500x500 map that had the entire dungeon on it, with like 10 events. So yeah...(that got split up, 50 rooms between the 2 large rooms. Yes, it had that many rooms in it. Based off of FFVIII's Tomb of the Unknown King, but I digress).


Yeah yeah I know lol. With the random encounter generally 70-80, it doesn't give you that many random encounters (and really, this is generally one of the areas I intend on keeping the size of), so it still shouldn't be that much of a problem even here. That's like 1.25% chance per step of getting into a random encounter so...


I'll probably finish my revamp tomorrow and post it in the next post after this or something, since it's 4 AM for me @_@. Managed to get some good revamps going on this at least~

Well, I'll give it a try and then upload a not zoomed out 12.5% image here in a bit, then post it in this post.

EDIT -


Huh...so there were two tiles I never knew what they did. You'd think after 5 years I'd have messed with these tilesets a bit more. Oh well. Don't mind some of the other errors on here, I already fixed them after seeing them. ^^;

Yeah, I just NOW realized (after Locke told me) that I was using the branch tiles wrong in the map (I didn't know that the middle tiles would loop indefinitely without the ends!). So now fixing that up.

I would go with the canopy idea, but the place is already a maze on its own so probably will pass on that here. I wanted to do this map remake now because it's literally my largest map bar the Yojana Gardens. ^^;
