Rudra tiles are pretty detailed. If you want something that will match and be easier to scale back, I would go with some Secret of Mana tiles or something less detailed from the start.

Thanks for the tip!  I'll do some scouting around and do some test screens when I get the chance.

I love hedge mazes. I'm looking forward to that with *senator palpatine voice* grrreat anticipation.

Okay, so I recolored the charsets to match the color palettes of their matching battle sprites.  Should I also scale back the palettes on the tilesets or do you think it'll will be alright?  If I do, do you think the tilesets will be able to be scaled back in their detail and still work?  Or would it be better just to keep the charsets more detail and just have a style change between battles and the characters?




The charsets are just some FSM edits.

Battle character for reference:

Firstly I love the fact somebody edited those old sets into something less ....soft and fuzzy. Secondly that is a great use of that chip set and thirdly why does it remind me of "Twin Peak Mountain" from Brave Fencer Musashi? o.O

Temples are awesome, reminds me of the ones I used in Legondo Rising 1.2 but the Hedge Maze is win just for beign a Hedgemaze and not being square!! =D I love those leafy obalisks! Very cool and that entrace is just amazingly
well made! Nice work Meis. Though I must say I don't know what those brown things in the right corner are. o.O Tree stumps? Decorations? Either way they look a bit out of place to me.

Tree stumps. On an earlier page I have the trees with their tops, this is just a picture without them (as the treetops are actually picture overlays and not part of the chipset).

Okay that is a cool way to do it and I can see it now. I can never seem to get the hang of pictures as overlays or anything else. The closest I got was that stupid little planet name tag thing on Xia Lan and that took me forever to figure out and
position. Say you're a pretty good mapper and seem to have this process down pat. Is there a trick for figuring out where the pic is going to come out without having to play test and re-position it over and over?

[Meiscool]

Well, the easiest trick (and don't abuse this or your game will lag like crazy) that is ok when you only have one or two pics you want to show is to make the picture 320x240 pixels in size. Then, when you set your graphic on the image, it will show up in the exact same spot in the game without your having to change the numbers around.

It's a very rare occasion where I get excited for an RPG Maker game, but yours, Meis... yours!

I might have switched to a different charset style to match the tiles a bit better, but thanks! haha.  I like them, but they were just a little too fat for the chipset style I wanted.

Eh, the more I look at it the more I think I might be better off just adding more detail to the charsets.  I dunno.



Also, suggestions on the second screen?  I've slowly been ripping away to get some more objects but I might just have to do some major edits of current ones to get more variety.

[Meiscool]

Looks fine to me. You've got a good range of graphics to the point that you aren't just reusing the same flowers over and over, etc. Did you change the colors slightly or are those the original (I can't tell, but it looks good non the less)

[A Forgotten Legend]

Its just tinted darker because its drizzling, but I'm thinking I might keep it that tint throughout.  Thanks, Meis!

[zuhane]

Looks beautiful, AFL! Nice to see some different art styles being used too

[Relux the Relux]

[Meiscool]

Too bare. I would fill that blank space with roped off statues or something.

The paintings look nice though. great variety.
