lol, pun.

I really like the puzzle idea, its very innovative.

[coreystranick]

Alright, well I have made a chipset and started to make my game. This is my first real game map so tell me what you think.

[Linkizcool]

very nice. now just add shadows, and light and you have a perfect map.

[coreystranick]

How do I do that kind of stuff? Overlays or whatever? That is jsut part of the map, i still have another 3/4's or so to map. I also need to figure out how to get my guy from walking on water, I have everything right but he still walks of the water, and then on some areas he can't get off.

0_o you don't know how to change the passability settings? Go to the tileset section of the database. a O means you can walk on it, an X means it's not passable (Such as water, rocks, etc) And a triangle means it's above the character.

I'm sorry, but that map isn't that good. The trees are too small. They should be taller, otherwise, they just look way too odd.

Hmm, I see what you mean, thanks for the advice. I made the leaves overhang alot of the trunk though, that could be making it look smaller. No matter I can fix it.

I know that, it is set as not passable but I can still walk on it. Oh, it is also a Star for above the character.

Make sure either every empty space in the tileset has a star, or that every single possible space in your map is using a star tile.

The map could be better. Some parts are out of proportion, and waterfalls don't just end like that. Good start.

[coreystranick]

I actually forgot  to take the waterfall out, It was just to see what it looks like. I'll try to get every emptyspace to have a star, maybe that will work, I know the one that you are supposed to have(very first tile on upper level) is a star.

EDIT: How else can I improve the maps, this is the chipset I have compiled, and edited (not much just one thing)

I'm not really sure why I posted this I rediscovered this game on my computer (rpg maker 2003) and started messing with it I just make maps now. I know I'm kind of a loser. I was just wondering if any body would take "precious time" out of their lives to critique my little example of mediocrity...weeeoooo... please I'm just asking for helpful ideas not just "SUCK IT NOOBIE!" but I will laugh if you put that...I will...damn I love (...) ... ... ...

Looks pretty cool to me. Kinda reminds me of something Robotam would make.

coreystranick: Your houses need to be WAY bigger, and your waterfalls don't line up with the edges right 0_o

[coreystranick]

Thanks MiC, I'll try and fix that, maybe I will jsut use events instead of the actual tile.

Meiscool is right. Judging from how old that cave looks, it should be erroded in such a way that the waterfall would run down along the cliffside.

[aboutasoandthis]

MrMister: are you talking about corey or jael? I'm confused...

jael: It actally looks pretty cool with the boat inside the cave like that. If you fix is up a bit, it'll look like something out of Shadow of the Colossus with the light shining through it like that. I'd only suggest finding a better light overlay.

[gael]

MrMister: are you talking about corey or jael? I'm confused...

Haha its GAEL....FOO!
And yeah who were you talking to me or the other guy MrMister because I know this sounds gay but the top of the cave is open and the waterfalls are created from a lake that I'm going to put above the cave that empties into the cave....And thats why the waterfalls looks all stoopid like...
My map looks like ROBOTAM'S!?!
Oh wait robotam... weeeooo yesh. Miescool your ruins screenshot you entered for the contest was very neato it looked like something out of shadow of the collosus(I'm sure thats spelled wrong fug it)...I love that game.

-Oh yeah and I just read aboutasoandthis's little post thingy and I diddn't even notice he made a reference to shadow of the colosus too! AND IT WAS ABOUT MY GAME WEEOOOO...um yeah thanks that makes me feel all tingly inside and stuff.

Ok so a better overlay where might I find something a little better on the internet or should I just make the light come from a different direction like the left or right?
And how else can I fix it up just put more **** in it...
