Nice screens SirKazuma. But first off, this isn't DoR, but rather Pure Remembrance. No worries, a lot of people get confused. :P

 

Anyway as I said, these are nice for your first. As a rule of thumb, you should generally keep mountains at a short height to allow more flexibility and more space for other objects. The tree "inside" the mountain on the bottom screen, sitting on the top center edge should be removed, since it will cause Link to get stuck if he walks into it from the above screen. Also visually, it does not look good. The grass and dirt borders need to be less straight; make them more free form and give them a more natural flow.

 

All in all, impressive start.

I really like those...shrubberies?  The forest-wall-like things.  I never know what to call them.

 

The gossip stone is also really nice.  It is quite recognizable, but it doesn't cling to the original design. :thumbsup:

Now THAT is something truly amazing. I really love the way the Gossip Stone looks and I also love them big mushrooms!

Gaaaaaaaah I so jelly! You seriously gotta start turning this into a tileset, man! You really know your way around EZGBZ's style!

Thanks guys!

I've been considering this. But regardless, a tile expansion pack or two as a loose tile submission will be most likely.

Love it Charizard. One of the best GB screens I've seen.

I'm not 100% sold on the gossip stone sprite but with a little editing it will look great.

Thanks!

 

Hm, I might need touch up on the gossip stone tiles then. They'll appear a lot in dungeons and on the overworld, providing optional hints so if people aren't happy with them yet, I might need to give them a bit more polish.

Here, why not give this a shot?

It usually helps to add some white highlights to the inside of your tiles. Still keeps with the GB limitations but it miiiight interfere with your transparency. Not entirely sure how you have this all set up.

Adding highlights to the gossip stone makes it look flat and loses readability.  When working with small tiles, you want to ensure that the basic forms are clear as possible, and every pixel counts.  The placement of the highlights obscures the crucial details of the tile.

There should be ice cream vendors in the Ice Temple. I'd go there and get a popsicle.

 

That looks really ... Nifty. I'll go with nifty, and avoid the obvious pun. Is that from a new project, or just a mock-up screen?

There should be ice cream vendor shouldn't there? Mmm... Ice cream

 

Anyways, its just a mock up, I might use it in the future for maybe a another project or something. Nothing right now though. Lamda 2 has worn me out :lol:

Looked awesome! And your avatar is totally the Hero of Adorable! :3

 

Really awesome Ice Temple! If the item you can get here is an ice cream cone, it'd be like the potion. Each scoop of ice cream fills Link's hearts completely :3
