Is that good EZGBZ screen design I see on my screen? What? Wasn't that irrelevant a few years ago!?

 

But seriously, loads of nostalgia! :D Though, I'll admit, you should do something with the mountain top. Just a small patch of grass maybe?

Thanks a lot :D As for the top-left corner, I tried to leave it like that since it's true to OoA. But yeah, I might add some grass, I'll see about it.

The random dirt rubble at the bottom sticks out like a sore thumb because they don't belong on that terrain. See on the mountain top? That's where you use them, on dirt terrain.

 

Also I would suggest you stick to one kind of grass blade type. Otherwise, good stuff.

Looks pretty good. The only gripe I have is that section in the middle.

The bottom tile doesn't match up with the floor which can look a little odd.

 

Either way, pretty good stuff you got there.

Goodness, so many great screens in this thread!

 

Shane, that screenshot is wonderful. You really go beyond the potential of this fine tileset. A clean design, with many minor details, is the perfect combination.

Ohh...me likey, Jared! When I see something weird like that in quests, usually I get the impression "Oh, when I get more items, later I'll be able to do something with that."

 

Hmm...now that I think about it, what if you could use an item on that piece of machinery, and it would open up, letting you enter some sort of hidden single-screen machinery cave? :D

I hate to burst your bubbles, but that is actually just placeholder for something else. xD

 

Luckily it's still very important!

You've got something as fascinating as that and you're gonna replace it with something else entirely? Laaaaaame.

 

Ah, well. Maybe the real thing will also be interesting.

Very good screen. It's transition screens like this that pull together overworlds, and keeps them from feeling like a disjointed collection of screens.

 

One point of critisism, though, is the line of ground separating the rough sand and flat dirt. If you add a very lightly-textured tile to the right of those tiles, it should smoothen up the transition.
