KITTEN2021'S PROFILE

You might wanna move up those shelves. It looks weird having a shelf with bags on right above a stove.
Just my opinion though.

Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, dezz... :(
I did use your advice, I moved the shelves up a tile; it does look better now. Thank you. ;)

This house has actually gotten a remodel again... -.-
Actually, the entire town did, really... But I still appreciate the pieces of advice! :)

Whew! OK, here we go:

Cloth canopies, palm trees, anything making shade - it is hot in the desert. Water, pond, watering hole - for your camels or whatever; desert civilizations are either next to a water source or nomadic because of the transience thereof Desert critters - Have a scorpion crawling along the top of a building, put em in cages and have them in the marketplace

I had thought of these, but again, Tile usage issue here. Looking into a script that allows the changing of tiles now though - like you suggested. :3

You can also vary the TYPES of pots and boxes and centralize them. Boxes of fruit are arranged openly over here at the fruit stand, plain crates are in huge stacks on top of each other in this back alley.

Good point... Thanks for that!

I also HIGHLY suggest playing with elevations in this map. It looks ripe to drop a second, similar layout on top of it, with buildings occupying the massive blank roof space, and lots-o-stairs. :D

Any time I try to make a second layer, on a roof it wants to automatically connected to the first story room that's already there. Any clue on how to fix this guys??? I hate not being able to do that, I think it makes games look great!

Note that the very bottommost wall is quite thin compared to the other walls.

Fixed. Thank you, I hadn't thought of this problem... Made the roof tile about 2 more tiles deep and then added the wall below it. Its now the same height as the wall beside it there...

Oh, and your 'sand' looks kind of... green... like grass

It looks green because of how far out I'm zoomed... When you're in the game, it's very sandy.. XD

the dotted shadows around the top of the buildings need to be a little less dark.

Lighten up those black dots a LOT. I can see they're supposed to be a continuation of the roof crenelations. They look like opaque black dotted-line blocks.

OK... I guess I'll have to edit that then. Will play around with the coloring of that and then let you guys see the results. Maybe then you guys can help direct me on how light or dark the dots should be from there.

Wow... Never replied to a post this long before. Thanks to everyone so far! ^.^ <3

All shadows are automatically killed in the game, I have to add those myself customarily, they just don't disappear in the RPG Maker though, so that's why you still see them.

Oh... I see what you're talking about. That's how they are in the RPG Maker themselves, not much I had to do with that... I didn't really think they needed to be messed with, but, if enough people actually think it needs to be lightened, I'll be happy to comply.

For decorations how about some market stall type thingys

I was actually just trying to figure out how in the world I was going to get those in the game, seeing as to how I'm already using my Tile E for tree's and stuff like that... Any suggestions on what could be done?

Everything will make more sense the instant you have people in there, decorations in there, and so forth. The large building-top place at the top of the map is only there for right now. I am still designing the rest of the town, and everything will be cleaned up and un-blocky so's to speak when I am finished. But, I wanted to get a very early sneak-peak out there for everyone so you know what I am working on. :3

Advice is always loved ~
