I personally prefer the symmetry here. The chest has been moved to another location and the missing NPC is going through some trial and error editing.

Looks good, Shane.

 

It's a bit dark, I know, but what do you guys think of it?

 

EDIT: More.

That looks really interesting, Geoffrey. It's pretty unique looking and I dig the Zelda 2 style camera perspective.
I personally don't mind the darkness in those screens but I hope we'll see more than just black skies throughout the whole game.

Also, nice HUD.

Everyone has been posting so many nice things lately. I love it!!

 

 

Caves are pretty much done.

Stone archways and ladders carved into the walls... natural, but with some human intervention... I like it 

 

I personally prefer the symmetry here.

It does look a bit better like that.

 

Only thing, to me, is that, given the perspective of the background vs. the room, is seems like the room is angled upward rather sharply.

 

But I do like them both.

I suppose that's to be expected at night time

 

But really, it looks like a totally different game. I never would've guessed it was ZC if it hadn't been posted here. Impressive conversion.

 

I'm guessing you can go inside all those different huts?

Lookin' pretty dang good so far- I've been loving your progress.  I hope you finish this up soon, I'd love to toy around with it.

I actually prefer the older shot, honestly.  The table off to the right and the chest to the left felt more realistic and also made proper and really good use of how the balcony is built.  It struck a balance- providing the chest with its own space, and the table with its own space as well, so that both defined the screen without conflicting with the other.

YOooo, if this screenshot were released ten years ago, I swear, you would've never heard the end of it. That's just gorgeous. You couldn't even pay me to try to scrounge up a criticism. I would hate myself if I even tried. It's so delightfully chaotic yet natural.

Thank you for posting that.

@Geoffrey I really love that HUD, it reminds me of some older games I've played. The rest of the screens look really well done.

 

@Jared This is amazing! I really love the overall structure of the screen and those tiles look awesome.

[Shane]

I love it. Its scenic look doesn't distract the gameplay and exploration flow. Two thumbs up.

As for my screen, I agree about the backdrop, but I can't really any alternative that I'm personally fond of. If this was an entire map of perspective clashing, I would be on the case more, but this is just one screen that I spent two nights on, and I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I think I added a bit of balance to the screen now? I edited this before reading the comments, I think it's final now. Thanks for all your criticisms though, always welcomed regardless and help in more ways than one.



Next up, the castle.

I do like the latest version best, now that you put those planted pots in the corner. They help connect it to the background, as well - the leaves look like they were picked from something down below.

 

And yeah, I was just making off-hand comments. I know there's only so much you can do with perspectives in this kind of engine, apart from drawing a whole new background. Sometimes I'm stingy enough that I reconstruct around it, other times I just say, "It's the nature of the 8-bit engine. Deal."

Dungeons are looking pretty cool so far.

[Shane]

I like the colours, they make the temple feel mysterious and unique. The design is amazing too.

I think the only problem with the graphics is that the pots you have are missing an outline while everything else has one.

I want. I want so much ;_;

 

This is looking really awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of your dungeon stuff!

I agree. I'll try to fix the problem. Thank you!
