Looks really good. I don't really have any suggestions though. Keep up the good work!

My first ever hardest screen and palette to make ever!

 

However, I'd like to credit both EZGBZ beasts Shane and Shiek, as their talents have inspired me to create this palette and screen design! (Palette is free and rippable to be used by anybody).

 

EDIT: Changed the structure to make it appear a bit more open. If this were a quest, Link would have to have his sword to proceed East, given this would be the prologue of said quest.

It looks alright, I love the palette. Why is it so cramped though?

At first, I was going to go for a symmetrical design, but I thought it would look better with as much stuff I could put in the shot, breaking that symmetrical feel at the bottom of the shot. That's why it looks cramped :P

Looks really good! Kinda reminds me of Oracle of Ages, but also Minish Cap for some reason.

"Link, the Temple of Seasons was once a beautiful sanctuary built with grace for the four stationary seasons. With time, evil monsters have plagued the Temple's Halls, and a dangerous poison has contaminated the once clear waters of the palace. Be aware of the dangers within O Chosen Hero; that is, if you are brave enough to retrieve the Rod of Seasons from its depths..."

 

Holy crap, I didn't know how flexible the EZGBZ tileset was. Its palette structure is easy to manipulate, and I can think of many ways I can build a quest with it! (One day Demonlink, one day you will make a GB quest :) ) The palette is up for grabs BTW :P

Woah! That is one hell of a mix between an overworld and a dungeon! That looks really good man!

Thanks Eddy! This palette took me about two hours to actually complete it, but the result was totally worth it! :D

Looks interesting. Would love to see a GB quest from you.

 

I never been a fan of "hybrid screens", but you made it look really nice.

Thanks man, I appreciate your kind words! But like I said before, you and Shiek have inspired me with your beautiful palettes, and thus is why I have been trying to follow a similar style :)

It's really not. Not all screens can be left wide open. That would be boring.

I agree with this post except the last sentence. While I don't mind cramped screens, I generally prefer if screens give breathing space and I can freely move about. I wouldn't say that's boring. If you feel like you're making boring open screens, then make them less boring. That said, I don't think Demonlink's screen is cramped, but not entirely open either. It's in between, and that's fine. :)

 

So, here's a screen I made out of pure boredom. It's Snowhead Temple in GB.

Well, now you're just making me want to play MM3D. Thanks XD Seriously though, that's a really cool recreation of the Snowhead Temple!
