Oh, that's also true...you win.

While I see what you're saying Prospekt, I'm kinda with Jared; the perspective looks weird with the waterfall coming that far out. Everything else looks perfect though. Old school style screen design with a newer tileset. Works really well.

I figured I'd repost here to get comments on the screen content itself.

I'm pretty sure I'm misusing the tileset, but I'm having problems improving. Help appreciated.

Trying to work on my interior screens skills. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.


An introductory cave.


First room of Level 1 - Swamp Well.

The top screen looks a little empty to me. Are those other areas on the top of the screen meant to just add visual effect? If so, I would add detail into them. If they are part of the playable area, I would still add detail. The bottom screen screams AWESOME to me though!

...okay then, guys. How about screenshots, too. : |

I am telling you this right now, I love your screen design. The whole height difference on the screen with the waterfall is quite nice. I love that effect. You have very nicely detailed screens. Keep up the awesome!

Truthfully, I believe you are using it perfectly. Very GBesque feel to this screen. Love how it looks!

Looks great, but the image is too big!

[Evan20000]

That's really comforting considering that I'm struggling with overworld screens.

I may put up some dungeon screens when I start working on level 4 of my quest.



Edit: Yeah, I'll resize it.

Slightly unsure about this: is the variety of grass details too much here? I can't decide if I should use a few different types per area or just mix them all together like this.

[Evan20000]

Well, I think it looks fine just like that. As long as you have enough other different landmarks exclusive to each area to keep them all different, I think you'll be fine.

I strongly recommand using one or at maximum two different sets of grass detail per area. Throwing them all together looks chaotic (in a negative way).

I dunno, I think it looks rather nice. I like how the tall grass tiles are used as a sort of texturing for the grass as well. The screen looks quite pretty, in my opinion. Feels like something I'd want to play.

A possible alternative, for comparison:

[Evan20000]

I liked the variety, but that isn't bad either. Go with which ever one you like better because both of them look fine.

[Neppy]

Truthfully Saffith, they all look just fine to me. I'm personally not too picky on ground details, as long as there are some.

Mostly edits. With some helpful advice and suggestions from Gonken
