That inn-type thingy with all the red  carpets kinda messes with my head to look at.  The town looks a bit cramped, but then I like to maneuver and look at random crap, so idk, other people will probably like better.

I'll keep that in mind. It's supposed to be cramped, like poor/public housing/no living space. It looks a lot better in-game which is what I'm focusing on. I guess FF6 doesn't look that great from a distance.

I dun like it. The tent looks like it's part of the wall, the colors hurt my eyes, and the fact that you've got roughly 6 (er something) smoking chimneys in just that screen leads me to believe that you've gonna use a lot of the same effect, which kinda defeats the purpose of making a special effect.

Sorry dude, but looking at it confused the hell outta me about what goes where and ect.

It's not supposed to be just a town. It's supposed to have it's own plot. I Think that's what messes people up.

Unless...You could make a test map for me. I'll PM you about it.

I thought it was OK but I have to agree with MIC quite a bit, although I dont know how to do a lot of stuff with RM I still know what looks good and bad. I based it off of Valkyrie Profile, see below.

[aboutasoandthis]

Considering I've never played Valkyrie Profile, would you mind explaining the HUD and how the Battle System works? Is it a fighting game? Where is your health?

I'm tryin a less is more approach. Now, the houses are two far apart. It looks like a plain old town and not the overpopulated slums I want. I'll find a way to get from roof to roof...somehow.

Aboutaso, I don't see what the problem is. I can easily tell my way around, alot better than on some of MIC's maps. But if you were aiming for cramped slums, you kinda failed.

It is an rpg but you press square, triangle,circle,and cross for each character, so it's fast paced. When the enemy is attacking you on the long part of the bar it shows Player HP, and this is for whatever character is being attacked, when you attack an enemy it shows Enemy HP on the long part of the bar. Go on to GameSpot and watch a couple gameplay videos for Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. I've only played it for a little so its hard to explain, but once my brother's done beating it Ill play it and give a better explanation.

I meant to post this one. Oops.

Okay, so slums. Maybe the Chrono Trigger trash in the street? I think I'll put in some of the FF6 broken house stuff too. I need to stop using so many different games. The best looking RM games only use like...3.

Pixel, thanks. That clears up a lot. Make sure you post that when you're making your battle system.

[I Have a Sandwich]

It just looks like a town now. The slums need to be cramped, and I'd suggest a larger well.

See about 5 posts above.

I forgot to say thanks Sammich.

I can't quite tell what you're doing in that little clip.

[aboutasoandthis]

I posted the wrong pic. The little clip thing was an accident. The real pic is a bit below that. I'm to lazy to make it photobucket.

It ain't much, but it's something. I think I'll stick with this way.

[I Have a Sandwich]

Lookin more slummy, but unless its a main thoroughfare you need less empty areas.

[aboutasoandthis]

The town is coming together. So are the houses.
