Did you come up with the house tiles yourself? They look oddly similar to the ones off of RPG Maker. Not an accusation, though. If you did them yourself, then I'm floored. I absolutely love the grass texture on the roof of the house. The only thing that looks even remotely off is that the windows could use a bit more detail on them, and a door frame would look nice.

Don't worry, they were basically redrawn but some the house tiles were based off of a freely available tileset for one of the Game Maker versions. As usual, it's a mix of custom tiles and edited "ripped" tiles. I seem to be doing about 40/60 lately. But I found that trying to make everything 100% custom takes up more time then I have, and the non-custom stuff helps set the quality bar - which is important since art work is one of my weaknesses and working on this quest is improving that.

[Moonbread]

Generic stuff and whatnot. I'm also terrible at dungeon design. But at least I'm doing something. Also I don't have a custom subscreen because I don't like using 2.5, so yeah, don't even start with that nonsense.

I like it Prospekt. They're actually quite nice screens. Too bad there isn't an way to make Link dark in the Overworld shots. Wish there was a screen flag, or screen option to have him be a darker palette so that way he doesn't look like he is glowing.

I believe someone (I can't remember who) was working on a special palette that changed CSet 6. Obviously it wouldn't be compatible with color-changing rings, but it would allow Link to change color slightly with different areas.

[Moonbread]

I could try placing a transparent black screen over the screens like I did for the dungeon screen- it obscures some of the details, but then again, it's supposed to be the middle of the night. Gonna test that out real quick.

Edit: And the result:



I kind of like it. Makes it really feel like night, and helps set the mood better with Midna's Desperation playing in the background too.



And have an extra dungeon screen because I'm awful at them and need help.

I'm curious how I do with pure, here are two screens of the same, one with the transparency that goes above forests, one without, I am open and ask for all criticism to improve it?

[Jared]

Well, first of all,

- The stairs (On the left) are in the wrong CSet
- You did layer the red edges correctly
- There's grass on the other building's bottom?
- The bushes look wrong
- The Kokiri's Emerald emblem just looks...wrong.
- The palette is horrific
- The overhand needs openings, with the ".:" and others, if you know what I'm talking about.

Good luck!

Thanks ! I don't know what you meant just there, as for palettes the basic PTUX has few options for overworld and I hate them all, I am horrible with palettes do don't know how to help that :/ I will re attempt ! But as for palettes, anywhere I can get custom palettes that are much better for pure?

[Jared]

I think you should use Pure Remembrance instead of Pure itself. It's SO much better, compared. It has everything on your screens, and LOADS more.

[Jay]

Well I looked into that but I saw bad ratings on it, is it really better?

[Moonbread]

It's what I'm using up there. You know, those screenshots that got entirely ignored?

[Jay]

Ah yes, I believe I forgot to say I am extremely against gb mountains in ANY tile set other than the gb ones, though the screens layout wise are pretty good !

I just took a look at it, and I do not think that I like the pure remembrance much at all, in terms of my MC set I have many of the overworld tiles needed for a quest, I still need dungeon ones, most enemies, most dungeon tiles etc. it's a long journey before being complete ! Especially since I've been alone on it

I like that, very much so. It does give the feeling that it's the dead of night. I really like it!

I think it looks pretty good, but the forest shadow overlay makes the colors look rather odd to me. It looks like it turns the short grass into a lime green color.

Alright having a very free day at home, decided to spend some time on my MC tileset, I ripped in the entire MC deepwoods, Mines, and Wind Palace dungeon sets, though only the deepwoods one is fully in combo wise, door sets etc.

Here is a screen test of the deepwoods one (This screen speaks more to the tiles I ripped and colored than the design, though I hope the design you find good!) Note: It took a while to get dungeon Mis. recolored to fit into all 3 dungeon sets I ripped in !






Edit: For some reason it did not show the upper tiles from the chest, so this screen does.
