Making several adjustments and extensions to Level 1.

How am I even supposed to reach that!?

I hope its the start of something big

@Demonlink: The thing about hue shifting is I'm rather terrible at it, and I wanted something more blue than the default "Aquatic Blue" dungeon pallete you have in the tileset.
 

There's way too much green in this blue, and I wanted to eliminate that, as these colors fit a forest temple more than an aquatic blue theme.. But that's just me.

I did decide to test editing the "ceiling" area a bit more;
 

 

e: Tried "broadening the scope" of the blue gradient in CSet 2...

I like the second blue better, looks like it has more depth. I still think it could be a little more gray-blue rather than deep blue (the color not the chess computer).

My Take On It

 

I hope you don't mind I did a quick revision of your palette; you can keep it if you want, it's a base for what you can improve. More or less, this is what I meant about mixing blues and purples. Check the palette setup and the colors I chose, hopefully they will be useful to you to learn more about hue-shifting.

Demonlink, that is beautiful! I may just have to steal it for myself.

[Sephiroth]

Oh god, the blue is just so washed out that it doesn't look blue to me, but more of a slate gray.. :v

Thanks for your kind words! I, have the same to say about your castle shot. The plants look awesome, the same with the MC windows. The subscreen looks effin awesome as well, but I'm edgy about the bridge. That black outline makes it stand out too much, but I can't quite say much about how to improve it. Anyway, I <3 it!

Wait, really!? Like I said, it's a rough draft, so it's not quite finished.

Sephiroth, I think the problem with your original palette is that the colors are too different from each other. Notice how Demonlink's sort of flow together nicely? Yours are just blue and bright silver. Not exactly the best combination. Just something to think about!

Thank you very much! The subscreen is 100% custom. 

 

I originally had the bridge without the black edges, but it blended in with the water and ground too much. So I think the makeshift bridge works for now. I'm also not a huge fan of the red edges for the water. It looks too dungeon-y.

 

Also, what do you think about the palette? I personally like it, but I'm also looking for other opinions.

The idea behind my pallete is to have the floor not be an extremely similar color to that of the wall however. I can always revert the tops of the walls just fine back to what I had previously, that is not set in stone.

Brown walls and grey floor!? REALLY!? I luvs it, the shot itself makes it feel like at home, and given it's a castle, it works perfectly. Hmmm, but the darkest shade of grey is a bit too dark, so making it slightly brighter should make it even better.

I wasn't talking about the floor (I like the purple floor!). I was talking about the bright silver door entrances and the blue walls.

And what's wrong with the door frames being a separate color than the walls? Takes out some of the monotony of a single-colored wall setup imho.. But if you guys don't like it, I can always revert it to non-gray...

Actually, the door frames are fine as it is, I think what Jared meant was how "harsh", the tones of blue (walls) and purple (floor) are so different from each other.
