    @Makayta I don't think world maps for games should be looked at as a whole, or at least, it shouldn't be very important compared to other things. It looks fine as a world, but it doesn't look like it'd be any fun to play a game in. Some of the land masses are good, but others have large stretches of traveling to get to the next map point, with nothing much to see on the way, and everything is divided up by large stretches of water. A world map that's fun to play in probably won't look realistic at all, but it'll fulfill it's purpose for being in a game a lot better. Try mapping from the perspective of the player, in small sections, and be sure to test how it feels to travel in. Make sure to include playing through any of the random battles you intend to have, since that can make small distances feel larger. The second map is very pretty.

    That is a good point, I will keep that in mind. Thank you!

    @Makayta Oof I'm loving that forest clearing map!

    Jigsaw Puzzle Setup
    It all works with show picture and conditional branches. All of the pictures have respective variables, including the selection frame. You can move the selection frame with the arrow keys, close the puzzle with the escape button (it just erases all pictures, tints the screen back to normal and fades in the sunlight) and pick up a piece by pressing enter. There are conditional branches for the user's input. For example, if up is pressed -> reduce selection frame y variable by 96. A switch goes on when the selection frame is above a puzzle piece and enter is pressed and the selection frame picture gets swapped to one with a different colour to indicate that a piece is selected. Each of the 20 puzzle pieces have a switch too. When the switch of a puzzle piece is on, the variables for the tile always get set equal to the variables of the selection frame after the selection frame is moved. Then there is a switch for each possible position that checks if that place is occupied so that the player can't break the puzzle by stacking pieces onto each other. By pressing ok again the respective switches get turned off again and the piece is dropped, unless the player is trying to drop it above an occupied space. We've also made it so that if the selection frame is at the border, it jumps right to the other side if the player is trying to go beyond the border. This allows the player to save a bit of time when moving around the selection frame. Then there's a parallel process running with a string of 40 conditional branches, checking if the puzzle pieces are at their correct position (its 20x2 because x and y variable for each piece). The game is still running normally in the background while all of this happens which is why you can see the leaves falling and the bunny hopping around, the only difference is that the screen is tinted and pictures are shown. I hope this explanation somewhat makes sense.

    @Phenax Will try that someday (if I can figure it out XD )

    Looks good, I also like SRDs a little more!

    Wait, so the annoying face graphic glitch is caused by the SRD bust plugin with yanflys status core??

    I could use some help and ideas with my battle screen layout. You see, there's a lot of information to be displayed, and I don't want it to be messy.

    At the bottom there's the order of the current and the next turn. Above that there's the stats of your current monsters. At the top of the screen the name of the currently selected skill is displayed, along with its hit and crit chances. A huge arrow indicates which target the skill is going to hit. I think this layout is kinda good so far.

    But heck, I have no idea where to put the enemy data. For the moment I put name, level and HP bar right under the according enemy, but that doesn't look too great. Also, I'd like the HP to be visible all the time. Any idea how to do that? I mean, not technically, but from a design standpoint.

    @Makayta That's a nice forest clearing you got there. But putting extra vegetation wouldn't hurt either. Random leaves, flowers, etc. would do, and add a more natural feel to it. Other than that, that's a great map!

    It's been so long (maybe years) since I last posted something, so here's something that I am working on. Not much, but it's kinda fun to be back!

    I'm using CP Battle Engine, with the DS+ battlers I edited to look like the Sengoku Heroes included in that pack.

    Tweaked the main menu for OHMIC. Not perfect, I suppose, though it's a lot more organized and polished, I think <3

    A little village map... Some things are still subject to change.

    I really like the shapes you've given stuff like the plants and water and animals. Just... really nicely done. >.<)b
    I will say, though, that the lilypads could be a little... better in that aspect. They seem to be flat instead of 3/4 view. The wall vine could also seem less like it's in front of the wall and more part of it. Maybe if it followed the bricks a bit and perhaps some shadows on the wall could show it being further and closer at some points?

    @Phenax: that map is gorgeous and owlbert is adorable! I <3 owls.

    @doodlebound: normally black and white is not my thing, but very stylish use of it here (and your screenie has crows <3). If you're looking for nitpicks: the light cast by the two lamps on either side of the door looks very awkward and just plain wrong, the way it stops midway down the building wall. The light should extend at least to the top of the planters. Also it's not immediately clear that the pond is a pond, at least not to me. I had to look at it for 15-20 seconds and then I was like "oh, it's a pond, I see it now, that's cool". But that's just if you WANTED critique. That screenshot meets or exceeds all my screenshot standards ;)

    @hyuugacln I've moved your post to Game Maps and Screenshots, as that is the best place to get that sort of feedback.

    Started re-designing some of the maps in my game.
    Note that there is a door between the pub and the inn. And there is another floor for the inn with a few more rooms.

    Does this lip movement look okay?

    @Tuomo L Looks fine to me. It's nice that you kept the expression smiling while she talks.

    @AceOfAces_Mod : The map flow it is okay... but I think that in overall... it is a bit... pretty 'common'? I meant, very basic... Well, of course, I don't that if it is your goal (to make a basic game), if it is... the map it is good... but otherwise, isn't so good

    @Tuomo L : It is okay in my point of view... remember me of some visual novel game... when I was used to play xD



    More test with pixi-light (now, I have end up the light-editor) :
    Overall view:
    Texture size: 400 kb
    Sprites: 28 (being 26 Containers with two Sprites each)
    Lights Point: 9 (being 1 required, ambient light)
    FPS: among 40~30 (there is in the background: collision, particle and light), but by now the code are a messy... then only when I shall do some optimization, the performance will get better (I hope so xD)

    * I know that there is a problem with the light on the roof, but this is my fault of being a bit lazy to edit the normal map xD

    So h ere's a little map I'm making in MV that's meant to be a guy + his apprentice's slightly-messy-by-default home/workshop-

    FSM Tileset

    ...and here's the reason I'm making this post. When you come here the first time, the place has been utterly trashed/ransacked by thieves. While it's already a bit of a mess in the backroom (there's an upstairs, but it's not relevant to the sequence), I'm trying to figure out how to make it more messy, and how to have the front room in disarray as well. Ideally, without too much custom work; I'm already trying to figure out how to have the flowers/bread knocked over.

    For that matter, what general tips/tricks would you use to make a map messy, period? Deliberately so, as opposed to 'wow, this person can't map'. (Which is my default, but shhh.)

    @artoni I've merged your post with the Map Screenshot thread.

    Personally, I've found that thieves don't care about taking care of things so drawers and cupboards would be left open, plants would be knocked over, and things like chairs or stools could be shoved away to get access to things on the table.
