I was bored, so I tried to actually get a screen of in-game footage. Too bad my Link sprites aren't done yet, so if I turn any other direction it'd fuck it up.

This is from my quest...

Love the palette, Hoff. I would suggest making the bottom mountain less straight and adding a few bushes or ground details.

[Hoff123]

Thanks. I did change the mountain tiles at the bottom a little, and I got to say that it does look more interesting .

But about bushes and stuff... maybe I should import some things from PTUX? I've already imported the sand tiles and it didn't look TOO out of place . If you haven't noticed, my "tileset" is just a heavily modified classic tileset .

After a long journey, the crew arrived at their destination.

 

The ruins should be at this beach somewhere. Perhaps in this cave?

 

It's a bit dark to tell, but I think I see something over there (north), time to investigate.

 

Tread carefully, you never know what you may encounter in these ancient temples.

Nice. Wise move on the cave screenshots not placing any enemies. Caves when done correctly are spooky enough without them.

Strato, that is awesome. Has the feel of not being an actual enclosed cavern, but rather a larger, open-air cavity in the side of the rock face. It looks a lot more natural and real than if you had used the cave dungeon tiles.

Can I just say, I freaking love the way you used those cliffs. All the tricks you used to pull off elevation changes and gradual slops and all that, it's just fantastic. Absolutely incredible. And I can't think of a single complaint.

Trying to flex the ol' screen design muscles again.

This one still confuses me, just like the last one you posted.

 

First off the screen layout is ok, there is enough space to move around even with enemies on screen, assuming you can walk on the dirt with the white dots.

Next off, I take it that the blue is water and the dirt with white dots is also water or shallows? It's difficult to tell. Also the white squares in this screen are not nearly as sharp, probably because they're covered by more grass, your last screen they were very contrast-y.

 

Keep up the good work!

The 'dirt with the white dots' is shallow water. Trust me, it looks a lot better when animated. Maybe I need to change my path tiles to something else, cuz that's what those 'white squares' are.

[trudatman]

those "path squares" are brutally bad.  they ruin the otherwise decent realism of your screens.

[SpikeReynolds]

 

Playing with a couple of different things. Most people weren't too keen on the old path tiles.

[trudatman]

path tile are improved, for sure.  everything else is... uh... not improved.

[grayswandir]

I think the new path tiles would look a lot better if the grass came up around them a bit instead of them being laid straight on top of the grass.

 

The shallow water looks like it could look really good while animated.

 

I don't think the mountain side color works with all the other ones.
