Why is it a test area? For scripts or for screen design? No need to make a test area of design, cause it's great!

Also, simply wonderful graphics. I'm a little sad it isn't in colour, because it would be so overwhelming in colour... Could you make one shot in colour for funsies?

It's a test area to get the basics of the engine set up to behave properly. Glad you like it icon_smile.gif
About colour, I'm afraid it won't happen (anytime soon). The very point of Mirror of the Moon is the grayscale retro thing. I will show you guys, however, when I decide to check how it would look in full colour. I just don't want to spend my time on that right now as it would'nt mean any progress for the actual game.

I don't mean you should change the whole game to colours, because I love the idea of having a game fully in grayscale (I loved making a greyscale area myself), but I'm very curious how it would look in colour.

Working on the outside of Hyrule Castle this time, and I need help picking out which looks best. Opinions?

I got the basic shape off of the DoR Tileset, but didn't want it to look exactly the same. The GBC games didn't quite use a brick texture and it looked fine, so I thought I'd try something similar. I'll see if I can find a good brick texture to put on it, it might help.

Other than the texture, I also wanted to know if the top/bottom borders look better in gray like on the top set, or in white like on the bottom set. I'm kind of leaning towards the white, I don't really want abosolutely everything looking monotone, and I only have so many shades of grey to use.

I'm experimenting with the walls of my dungeons. I kinda like the new dungeon walls for the green dungeon, but I don't like it as much for the brown dungeon. Any opinions on which one looks better would be greatly appreciated!

Also, if I change the dungeon walls to the new way, would it look odd if some dungeons didn't have the new walls?

The new screens are a great improvement! The details that have been added to the tops of the walls look so much better. icon_biggrin.gif Looks great to me! icon_biggrin.gif

This looks pretty nice Sepulcher! You just playing around with it, or contemplating a quest with it? Just curious.

Just playing around with it. I have gotten the idea to make a quest with it a few times, but it is far too incomplete to even do that. I would need to do a ton of extra work to even get the tiles working and fitting with the rest of the set. I am not looking to hinder Oracle of Awakening's progress. Thanks for the critique Angeal!

I think it looks really nice, but for some reason, the stairs look off...?

It's because they need to be one tile longer.
