Found the correct tiles and fixed it.

Again it's too green and simple. Try giving the trees a secondary colour and give the area another palette. I feel like you made the bottom left mountain too straight. And the left-most mountain's top hasn't got any details besides trees. Decent try, not your best though IMO. icon_shrug.gif

I'll try to make it less green, but I actually made this screen to be pretty simple...
I'll also try to fix the mountains, thanks for the tips...

Simple or not, it feels empty with it's current palette IMO. icon_shrug.gif

I think the palette's fine if he's going for a simple quest. Not everything has to look like he worked 5 hours on it. The only thing I can suggest is to add in some tree color variety like Shane suggested, and to maybe use less detailed Octoroks, their style clashes with the rest of the screen. Looks good, though. Hope you complete this project, man. icon_smile.gif

You start here. I'm working on getting the moon and brown dwarf planet to carry over on screen, to add realism.

You're on a dwarf planet, surrounding a gas giant somewhere in the depths of space.

The screen is fine (imo) and keeping things simple isn't a bad thing.

I don't mind simple design, that's actually what I am aiming for in my quest, but I still say with the palette his got it makes his area a bit too simple. icon_razz.gif

...But perhaps I'm just used to Evile's. icon_razz.gif

I agree with pretty much everyone else, Dragonite's screenshot looks just fine to me.

This screen looks like it's more along the basic side of things, but that's quite alright. It still looks great, and very functional. icon_biggrin.gif

This is a very neat screen Marco. The tiles that you have for this set are absolutely beautiful, and are beyond pleasing to the eye. The sky looks nicely detailed, and just wonderful, and the terrain looks awesome. Great screen!

I like your water formation, however i'm not sure if it's supposed to be floating or over water. Besides that, it's actually very nice icon_biggrin.gif

I like the screen! But you might want to add some detail to the water or just a shadow on the water beneath the mountain. (If the mountain is floating)

If it's the sky, add some clouds. The blank blue really ruins the otherwise great screen.
