Final Fantasy Adventure tileset! O.ô

I've always wanted to make a quest with it.

[Haylee]

Oh man, so many votes. This makes me look even more forward to doing this. #_#

 

I'll tally up the votes and start tomorrow, I'm getting rather sleepy.

[Orithan]

Instrumentality or EZGBZ

[Nightmeres]

Dor hybrid or firebird

[Matthew]

Is it still too late to vote classic? That Tileset is so easy to use and versatile... Minus those funky boulders that look like snails.

[Joelmacool]

I say use EZGBZ. I love that tileset and I'm pretty sure everyone else those too.

Also, I might be thinking ahead here... but you could use this Overworld song for the overworld.

Alrighty, so I tallied the votes, and here are the results:

 

Classic x5

FYS x1

F-Zero x1

Instrumentality x2

EZGBZ x5

Pure x1

Koten x1

Final Fantasy Adventure x1

DoR Hybrid x1

Firebird x1

 

It's time for a tiebreaker, between EZGBZ and Classic, vote in the poll for either or!

[Nimono]

EZGBZ ALL DA WAY WOOO

 

Personally, I just dislike how current Classic looks. :/ I liked it better back in 2.10, and even then, I'm a sucker for anything GB Zelda...

I voted EZGBZ. It's a prettier tileset, easy to use and it's more diverse.

[Haylee]

Let us begin!

 

Part 1

These are piling up already, I'm so glad this is getting so much attention.

 

Looking at things now, looks like the winning tileset is EZGBZ, with one vote more than Classic. This ought to be a reasonable challenge, considering I've never actually been able to use EZGBZ too well. Practice makes perfect, huh?

 

Time to open up the file for it!

Wow that is a lot of screens already made.

 

Let's rectify that problem, shall we?

 

...except not in that way.

 

It shall be done this way, the proud way! Also this allows us to keep those example screens when deciding on palettes.

 

With that being said, let's make our first screen!

 

I found a random pedestrian in a skype group from a completely different forum, and without context, I told him to pick a variable between 00 and 7F. He picked 6B, so that's our starting screen!

 

May as well pick a random overworld palette to work with as well. Palette 0B5 looks quite nice so we'll start with that.

 

The example screen certainly looks marvelous with it.

 

This is the set up right now. I should ask what kind of screen do you think we should make for our starting screen? A simple field? A village? Something more complicated? Feel free to post your ideas!

 

Later updates will probably be longer, though, I think this is a good way to end off our first update.

A potential dream sequence? Palette looks very dreamy.

[Golden Guardian]

I like Shane's dream sequence idea. Although, the palette seems to be made for some kind of sunset, so maybe some area where it is dusk that you'll return to in a different time of day later in the quest? Either way, a field/plains area seems to work well for both ideas. Seems to be the makings of an intro sequence separate from the actual overworld. 

[Nimono]

Make your first screen be a forest village with a waterfall and some buildings. just one or two.

[Matthew]

I like the dream sequence idea

[Nightmeres]

Well in the dream do we want foreshadowing, has that been done before. Even if it has I'm sure we can make it different. Like have shuttle hints to a later game event, then discreetly throughout the game allude to it, enough so it's always at the back of the players mind but not readily obvious/in their face.
