Technically, the bottom-right area is over the water (perspective), but I agree that it does look odd and out of place. Otherwise, really good.

Will build a good image to post it now

An alpha design Many tile errors, and design will be modified before a polished, quality product.

Wow, this thread really got active. It's cool to see it pinned too.

Here's how a bright and colorful forest may have looked in another NES Zelda:

Those mountains do not blend well.

Make the mountains a more greenish orange so they blend better, other than that it's great for a classic map.

Put some black into the trees so that you can see them, like the mountain and bushes.

[Anthus]

I like the contrast of the orange and green. As far as black goes, I did think about that, but I also thought of maybe changing the black in the bushes to a dark green. Alternately, I like the palette I used in this screen quite a bit too, and have considered going with this.

EDIT: Also, this area is not final. I kind of made the palette in a hurry just so I could start using the tiles.

My Map (In Progress)

I am making some good progress. I really enjoy my tileset, it is simple, yet complex..

This is awesome. It reminds me a bit of Mother with the way the cliffs go about.

Moosh Making Maps oh how Marvelous!

Overworld of Quest (the reason dungeons 6 and 7 are not on this map is because they will be in the dark world)

Level-5: Pissy Patra Crypt

Maps may of course be subject to change in the future.

That dungeon is really good. It reminds me of the Palace of Darkness from AlttP. I haven't really tried to use big rooms in Classic. I don't really know why either.

Here's a little preview of my new game.

I'm liking the palette here. Nice map too.

This is the starting area of a dungeon I am working on.

Are you afraid of this dungeon? No? You will be. :glare: You will be. :glare:

That is an interesting example of using pre-rendered backgrounds. I have top say though, it looks kind of od with the Classic tiles, but it is a cool idea for a 2D area. If you are in a cave, you can have different backgrounds for different depths of something as well.

These colors remind of me a late summer day. Good job sir.

And here is the cave interior for my Classic noise.



It's part FF3, part Cave Story, and part custom.


EDIT: Oops, I thought it'd merge my posts. Sorry for the double :x

That map, while cool, doesn't look at all like the classic tileset. The classic dungeon floor tiles really clash with the rest of the map.

Well, the Classic set never had extensive cave interiors

The set I'm using is based off of the classic set, but it will feature a few additions from some other NES games. Zelda 2, Final Fantasy 3, and Castlevania to name a few. I will probably draw custom cave floor tiles that look for like the custom blocks in terms of style. I'm also not entirely happy with the boulders, cause they were originally drawn as ice chunks, so the shading looks off to me in brown.

World Map

This is the first draft of the world map my quest will be using. The desert is kind of sparse, but it's mostly not done yet. The image is cropped to show incomplete parts, sorta.

Looks like someone nailed the Z2 overworld theme perfect. I cannot find anything to complain about. Good job Anthus!

BUT. Does it function like Z2 or is it just tilework without true functions of Z2

Thanks. If you mean by scrolling, and semi-random encounters than no, it doesn't. However, it will still be interesting to explore, cause what you can't see are the warps that take you to areas within the world map. Obviously you have caves and some dungeon noise, but there will be other areas too. I'm feeling pretty good about this project

EDIT: Here is the progress on the forest area. The grass has been made more consistent, but some classic details still remain, and probably will for good.

Great looking maps, Anthus. The leaves in the caves remind me of a bear cave or something.
