Elemental Temples- UPDATED 12/31 (Time Temple)

162 · 2015-12-31T23:40:34+0900

I recently bought the Essentials DLC and found that it contained two pre-made temples based on elements (forest and ice to be specific). Having always used stuff from this forum and never contributing to it myself, I decided to make some pre-made elemental temples myself using the other elements. CREDITS: I made it a point to use RTP graphics only, so be sure to credit Kadokawa! You don't have to credit me, but if you want to, whatevs. Free to use for both commercial and non-commercial games! TO DO LIST OF ELEMENTS: Holy Grass Snow Mind/Psychic Life Spirit EARTH TEMPLE I tried to go for a geode approach when designing this temple. FIRE TEMPLE Might redo this one later on...I tried to make it appear almost oven-like, but it slowly became a little more like a volcano. You might want to add torches and stuff here! WATER TEMPLE My personal favorite thus far, I went for an ancient Greek garden vibe with this temple This temple is a little bit special, in that I tried to design it in a way that you could use the animated water tiles with the moat around it. (The one on the roof/by the statues...not so much.) Also, if you want to add a little ommph to the waterfalls, there's actually a character in the RTP that's splashing waterfall...well, water. WIND TEMPLE Hardest. Temple. So far. Since something as fluid as wind is hard to convey in still images/architecture, I tried to invoke a sense of flow with swirls in the picture's "movement"/design. (Are those stone clouds? Yeah, I think so...) Went for a duller pallet because any brightness might result in mistaking this for the light/heaven temple. THUNDER TEMPLE Took a lot of inspiration from Secret of Mana's final dungeon. I tried to make it look like a giant, magical(ish) machine. I originally tried to make it so there's cracks in the side the looks like lightning bolts, but I toned them down because it looked too busy. MOON TEMPLE Okay, this is my new favorite temple. I tried to make it one step in fantasy world, another step in space. Also, wanted to make it seem like a giant lantern. (I can only imagine what this would look like with some lighting effects!) I wanted to keep it from being too busy, in that the stained glass is pretty complex balance/detail-wise in itself . LIGHT TEMPLE Went really crazy on the mandalas here... I like to think that the seals and crystals are to "lock down" whatever's inside the temple. DARKNESS TEMPLE Meant to be a dark reflection (no pun intended) of the light temple. I didn't want this to come off as an "evil" temple, per say. Dark always equaling evil annoys me. Rather, it's...edgy. Aggressive. (Personally, I would go here instead of the light temple.) POISON TEMPLE I had so much fun with this one! (The Woodfall Temple from Majora's Mask and various mardi gras imagery was a huge inspiration here.) I wanted to make it appear as though this temple rose from the swamp. (This is one of the temples I'd love to see the exterior in!) METAL TEMPLE I'm a mixed bag with this one in regards of my feeling for it; I liked how it turned out, but feels like something is missing. A lot of Asian inspiration with this one. I tried to imitate the terra cotta army with suits of armor and make the whole thing seem like a fortress. What's more, here's the Asian arch for this temple, if you want to include it. TIME TEMPLE Bit of a snafu here folks! Also credit Yanfly with this temple, in that I used his hourglass icon in this temple! (You can still use this in commercial games!) Anyway, I tried to make it look like a giant clockwork temple (would love to see the inside of it). Was also watching The Matrix...could you tell from the color scheme?

They aren't actually broken,we all still have the files on our topics,but because the rpg maker forum has been updated recently all of us must re-upload the pictures and downloads that we put on our topics.

So just wait a little and she will re-upload the files when she'll be online. :)

OK. If he needs them, I actually have them saved on my PC so I can send them to him if needed.

That's okay,they are saved automatically to the topic editor,so she has them there,she simple must drag them again to the topic page to be seen ^^

Don't know if just me, but the images are not showing, probably due to the forum update.

But that is a good idea either way.

Anyhow, here are some ideas for temple themes:
- Magma (earth + fire)
- Wood
- Poison

Yes the images appears broken on the topic,but they are still intact on the topic editor,so she can add them anytime if she comes online to the forum.

And yeah,that would be some interesting themes too and I'm already imagining them.Anyway she did such a great work with this ones so far,I'm impressed.Beautiful work as an artist.We shouldn't rush her,ideas will be everywhere and always,so she should take her time,and when she has enough she would certainly amaze us again with something

Okay, guys! Fixed it on the main post and will go through the forums and re-attach them! Sorry about dropping the ball!

Anyway, about the elemental suggestions-
- Poison- love it and will go it!
- Wood- well....the essentials DLC already had a forest/jungle one and the point of this was to add onto it, but...I would like to do my interpretation of a forest temple. :3
- Magma- might be a little hard to do in light of the fire one I did, but I'll give it a try!
Anyway, thank you all so much for the love on here! It really makes my day!

(Although...I really hate to say this and potentially seem rude, but...I'm a lady number. )

LOL, thats fine anyway. Not like a person's gender matters to me. What matters is if they are human or not. Heck I would careless if you are an ET. :)

Awww,sorry for my mistake,such a shame :( Now I saw your profile,I don't know why I thought your a guy,I think because of the profile pic with the dog it's really funny that pic ^..^(I edited my previous posts now)

Oh, great!

And just to clarify, I never meant those ideas I gave to be like "requests". They are really just ideas that you can use as themes, if you like.

Heh heh, it's okay! Almost every forum I go to makes that mistake! (The price for having a unisex name and avatar.) You don't need to correct anything. :)

Even then, I like a challenge. ;)

Gah! What is with this thread? *Shakes fist at sky* Dang it, internet gremlins!

Anyhoo, I think I (finally) fixed it....

Oh, and as an apology for all the trouble- thunder temple!

Took a lot of inspiration from Secret of Mana's final dungeon. I tried to make it look like a giant, magical(ish) machine.

Sorry for the lack of updates, folks! Work has been crazy!

Anyway, I decided to skip ahead of the list and do the moon temple, in that I had an idea of what I wanted to do for it and really wanted to update!

The moon temple is the a very sweet piece of work, I could see it been used in a professional game, keep up the good work.

This Moon Temple is very, very nice.

Congratulations for it.

I Hope it will not be that long to have the remaining ones ;)
