Random screen from the Hylia Everglades. Palette isn't final, though, I don't really have a better palette in mind at the moment.

 

Hmm...some everglades, huh! This could be some good practice for me, considering I need a bit more experience with palettes. Just one second...

There! And with ASEprite that took me all of 14 minutes to make. And the image is in indexed color, so you can rip palettes straight from it! Oh, but keep in mind I was only editing the colors that showed up in that screenshot, so I didn't really touch any of the colors from Cset 02. To be able to change those, I'd need to see a screenshot with tiles that use ALL the Csets. Good luck with your quest!

OooOOoo~ It looks much more... swampy now. Me gusta. The only personal criticism I have is that I'd prefer the water to be a bit darker, and greener. As if a layer of algae grew on the surface due to the water being stagnant. Kinda like this

 

Otherwise, it looks pretty cewl. I may use it.

Those are some dang nice Everglades (palette) DdP! :D Great job! (And also, the screen structure makes me want to play this. Tree, stop being so awesome or you'll give me a heart attack XD )

Well, the problem with making the water green would be that it would blend in with the grass and the player would be confused on what's walkable. But taking a tip from that photo, I have a nice muddy brown for you which has even better contrast than the yellow:

Hmmm. Yes... I like it. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of that one episode of Avatar with the Painted Lady.

 

I think I'm going to use this, thank you. That is, if I can manage without the other Csets.

In all seriousness, that screen looks really good! No complaints! :)

And a giant chest! How did you not notice that? :(

 

Thanks!

At some point I might release an "EZGBZ expansion pack". No promises though.

A project between me and a close offline friend.

She's doing most of the work while I'll assist her in fixing up errors, providing graphics (BIG thanks to Sheik for the trees) and whatnot. Maybe I will end up getting heavily involved later.

Pretty decently designed screen. Kind of barren. Not sure if it will be tampered with later.

Personally, we feel as if this is the right amount of stuff we want on a screen, with the exception of enemies and misc objects of course. Although this decision may change overtime, but until then we will keep detail at minimum to focus on getting the world finished as soon as possible and add in as much variety as possible.

 

Thanks for your feedback regardless, it is much appreciated.
