Thanks! I was trying to get the candles on the walls to work, but I couldn't icon_razz.gif

The dungeon is supposed to be dark, silly! Haha icon_smile.gif

And yes, it's blood!

It doesn't matter if dungeons are supposed to be dark when you can't see the actual dungeon to begin with. That's a horrible design-choice, because you want the player to be able to take in what's actually going on in the screen, rather than going for a "realistic" look.

Well, here's the thing. You CAN see it. At least, I can.

(If you take that as anger, then I am. Because of Xenoblade not coming to America. I've got my reasons icon_razz.gif)

O'i! I enjoy the fact that you've perfected the tile use of DoR. The shot doesn't have every ground tile, which some newcomers do with DoR; yet you did not leave too much space. One thing does stand out though Prospekt, those leaves on the house create a flat image depth. Still, this is exceptional work, I will be looking forward to any more you release.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

I'd say it's just about perfect. I've got on complaint though. It might just be my (self-diagnosed) OCD, but having those two tree stumps lining up perfectly in the top right corner bug me. if I were you, I'd shift one of them a tile up or down. But otherwise, it's amazing.

Wow, that's a wonderful screen, Prospekt!
The left side of the town looks a bit too empty, though Maybe add a bit of rubble?

Comes complete with the WHOLE screen's tiles ripped in! icon_biggrin.gif

What do you think of mine?

The middle's a bit empty, but it looks great otherwise!

I have a couple of things I can suggest to improve: Add more ground detail - Add a couple more bushes, add more patches of grass on the dirt and vice versa. The way the stumps are arranged looks odd - Either replace them of put the top parts of them off the screen. There is also a small treetop that appears to be layered over one of the stumps, which looks odd - Remove it.

The floor doesn't have much design and it is blurry. I'd suggest more floor details all over the floor like in this shot below, which has been shown eairler in this thread. To improve the darkness, as in making the screen less blurry, make sure your darkness has been coloured the black colour in Cset2 and avoid much double-layered darkness on the screen, like on the one below.

Thanks :3 How many trees do you suppose I need to add, and where? I don't really see why it needs more trees to be honest, I've always thought that too many trees is a bad thing icon_shrug.gif

That's okay I guess but it could still use an extra tree or two icon_wink.gif

Left stump moved up, and the leaves on the roof removed due to the perspective clash. Also, I really think the ground detail is fine- I believe there's a point where too much detail can be overdoing it- and it's not my attempt at laziness. It's that it looks pretty fine to me already, and I'm not sure if more detail will make it look better, but rather make it look more cluttered in an attempt to fill the screen more.
