Game & Map Screenshots 12

You have an incredible amount of stats in there, how is it balancing for that?

I've been working on getting down the feeling of an ethereal forest for my game, and I think I've finally achieved that. There are a few things that I wanted to add and change, but with a simple single map this size it takes me about 5-6 hours to make even with years of parallax experience. One thing I'm concerned about is the amount of grassy area away from the trees. It makes it seem somehow not as dense as I'd like it, and I think I'll be changing this around for future maps. What do you guys think?

So I'm attempting to make my world map look as if there is a fog going over the land and tried to do it by adding a moving fog across the map and then adding lighting to make the mountain peaks poke through it and the floating island dip into it. Any ideas on how I could achieve the effect better?

And here is how it looks in game:

So, I'm trying to create a Yume Nikki–styled game about dreams and similar themes, but one issue is that I can't draw. Maybe you could give me some tips on the maps Ive already made?

Might send more later, for now, what do you think about the maps? What should I do differently? What needs to be redrawn?
P.s. There's a HUD at the bottom of the screen.

So I'm only giving advice on things that I consider myself to have enough experience in to give advice so here goes. First map, I really like, it's a good example of not overdoing space and looking like what it's supposed to while having an artistic flair. The second map seems to be a little spread out so your eye wanders looking for substance. The third map reminds me of that area in Diablo II that kinda looks like it's in space / another dimension so I'm partial to it for personal reasons and can't give an accurate judgement, but for me - I like it. 4th map is really good and I think is a good example of what you are going for. The last map again like the 2nd map seems a bit spread out, try to add more stuff. Changes in elevation, overlapping objects etc? Sometimes clutter just for the sake of immersion that you think would look overbearing actually looks good, it's worth a shot until you can find what works for you.
