Added, houses, dirt, sign post, foot path and chimney smoke as well as improved several tiles.

Thanks to Gonken for those grassy bases.

It looks very good, Shane. Despite already seeing it, the screen-design and mountain-use is amazing.

Looks amazing Shane, as I already told you.

Your palette kind of looks like this one:


Maybe you wanna rip it in? Both palettes look great in my opinion.

That palette is the default Sun Tower palette.

Thanks! And technically only the mountains and trees are the same.

Also got to still try out the default Sun Tower palette.

The fronts of the mountains look good, Shane. But the sides and back look a little off. Not sure how I could help though...

This looks stellar, man, you should finish this up for sure. If not, I will hunt you down and beat you up with a spoon.

Yeah, I know. But I told Shane that he could use any part of the tiles I made, I'm not sure about the sides and backs, but I guess they work.

What should i do to improove my screenshots? Ive been using dark and shadow palates and im looking to do more weird stuff for my chaos undivided quest.

[Moon]

They are all very nice screenshots, but they are also very crowded.

Make them less crowded!

[Shane]

I love the concept of a chaotic overworld. But design is in need of improvement - it's fairly cluttered and it looks rather poorly detailed. Especially when it's hard to notice those traps in eighth shot. And I'm not a big fan of that Link; he clashes with the rest of the pure graphics. But I see potential either way.

Also, the third screenshot has mountain errors at the top center of the screen.

The third screen is meant to be a forded river. I like the crowded screens for button thumper games i also put heaps of enemys for the same purpose.the traps are meant to be hard to notice. What do you mean poorly detailed what else should i do i try and make contrasting colors because thats what i like to make screens stand out.

Regardless if it's a "forded river" graphical errors are not okay and there is no excuse not to fix them.

I'm a button masher myself but even cluttered screens are one of my peeves - bush cutting after bush cutting tends to get boring you know. I guess the traps won't be hard to notice in-game since they'll move (or are they line of sight?). What I mean by "poorly detailed" is that it looks like you just scribble tiles in for the sake of it. A good tip is to place bushes only for resources, so you'd place them where the player doesn't get interfered when traveling/battling monsters use bushes in the center for last resorts if you run outta of space.

Also tiles that are one tile away from the edge get annoying if you constantly bump in to them.

[Supindahood]

Don't put so much objects in the way, that's very annoying when playing the game. Also, what's up with the colors of Link in some shots? They're completely off.

[tox_von]

i haven't played the screens though yet i was only making them so i haven't seen if the objects get in the way or not. I usually playtest and find this then. The Link goes that way if walk through walls cheat is used which i was using to get to the screens.

[Supindahood]

But you should see that in the editor, and keep it in mind while designing.

Your usage of ALTTP Mountains is fantasitic. Other than that, that palette kicks ass!
