PURPLE_MENTATS'S PROFILE

Now that you mention it, the ground does look rather dull. It's funny how we don't notice these things until someone points them out, sort of like proof reading haha.

I'm using Kylock's Autolight script. Easy enough for someone like me to use, but not a tone of options to it. I did try and tweak it a bit however and I think it looks marginally better.

For this one map in particular, I didn't add any plants/flowers just because I wanted it empty. This is the last map before encountering a boss, and I didn't want to take anything away from the tension as most plants and herbs are pick-able for alchemy. I do find though that when I am placing plants/flowers, that I have a tough time making look naturally placed.

I don't think I quite have the ability to add snow to the trees, but I wouldn't mind experimenting with photo-shopping if there were some tutorials you could point me towards.

I've changed my homepage to the edited version of this map.

Your critiques are always very much appreciate. Thanks :-)

Looking back, I often take periodic hiatuses from my projects after getting burnout. My usual routine is: rediscover Rpg-Maker, go hard, lose drive, quit. I'm going to try and avoid that this time around. I appreciate the advice (and the link!) Thanks 8-)

When it comes down to it I think you should always first strive to make a game that is entertaining to play. Addressing level grinding is a smart idea.

If you replaced EXP from battles with some other incentive, it could change things up enough to actually make the random encounters exciting. For example, if monsters dropped unique items that could be used to craft weapons, armor, potions etc.. it might just provide enough incentive to stay in the battles, while giving them a bit of randomness and excitement.

That's hot! ;)

That's a good point. Thanks for the feedback
