Amazing! That map looks pretty similar to Z1's overworld map. I spy some similarities here lol

[Demonlink]

Thanks again. So, here is what I have thus far, I've gotten really slow at mapping somehow. But yeah, as you can tell a big part is still unfinished (Death Mountain isn't even started yet) and then I should also mention that most (but not all) of the NPCs are placeholders right now until I decide what characters I actually want in the villages.

Good grief Shiek! ... I hope these words mean something to you, but that's a really inspirational map you made. The colors all flow well and they still look like GB colors. Man, I gotta say, this motivates me to start a custom GB set with a similar style, and use that same set for a custom quest!

Talent requieres guts and you have them. Very nicely done, I luvs it :3 !

I'm glad you enjoy my work and all the better if it inspires you to work in the GB Zelda tileset(s) as well - there can never be too many GB styled quests.

As for the colors, I think this might be something like my best palette yet. It is based heavily of a palette I've been using with Firebird recently and then I kind of tried to an aLttP-esque thing with it, adding the yellow grass and whatnot. The teal was something I kept from the original palette and then it worked well enough with the waterfall area so I used it there. I am trying not to use too many different palettes on the overworld, I want it to 'flow' as you put it - Nintendo seems to be doing this with their overworld maps and I figured it might be worth a shot whether I can do something similar.

I changed around a few things on the transition from the Waterfall area to the NE to the field area below and I added Spectacle Rock as the start of the Death Mountain area. It's gotten pretty late so not sure if I will do much more today. Anyways, very slightly updated map in the spoiler tags:

Wowza Bowza, that looks awesome.  I absolutely adore your work with the GB graphics!  And yep, there's definitely a resemblance to Zelda 1 here, which makes me curious with what you're doing...

Ehehehe. :>

Here's a little preview of what I have been working on. Keep in mind that this is not from tFK DX eventhough the subscreen suggests otherwise. It's just that I used the same questfile because I have most of my modifications on the tileset already in place there.

Looks professionally done, nice job!

Here are two from me:

 

Link forgot to wear his Winter clothes...

 

Hopefully the Lynels won't see Link over there...

[Eddy]

Looking pretty good! I like the wintery setting you got going on there.

[Demonlink]

Official progress going on Hylian Legacy. We see Link smiling for this week's SotW contest, and what the heck is that pendant item for!? (I'll give you a hint, it's an item you'll be using a lot in this quest, as I made a few changes to the Quest's Rules).

[Eddy]

Ooo, looking pretty interesting!

 

Tell me all your secrets about that pendant or die

Staying focus on one project? lolwat

[Eddy]

Looking really good Shane! It somehow reminds me of Minish Cap's starting screen, which I have no idea why honestly lol. Maybe it's the house in that specific position.

[MoscowModder]

The palette seems too brown to me. The screen design is nice though.

[Demonlink]

The brown palette serves for a calm, peaceful village set in a dusk atmosphere right? Loving it 100% here! (dis reminds me from Adaryan quest, yes)

Thoughts? I was told that an earlier version of this screen had bad flow, since all sides were immediately accessable, so I changed it a bit. At this point, you wouldn't have any items at all.
