You just repeated yourself :sad:, As Soul was trying to tell you, you need the proper version of vb6, not VB6 Portable. Then [http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/how-compile-stand-alone-executable](http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/how-compile-stand-alone-executable).

Looks great, i'm going to test/play around with this later. Thanks Pe*is! :)

This style just lost an amazing follower :\ Very nice work, Hope to see some of this new style you're converting to.

Alright, Basic coloring and pillow shading needs to be fixed. Sometimes it's a personal preference, but many people prefer fewer black lines around graphics. It can be sometimes used to strengthen an image, but best if you use it as least as possible, which again, I say, is a general preference that I see a lot of people liking. But they can easily be replaced with darker lines of that color, or similar. With pixelling, a lot of it is trial and error, trialing a color, comparing it to another and so on. You won't get a perfect image without changing things around **a lot**. "Hue Shifting" is also another thing people talk about a lot, not just scaling the shades of the one color, but the hues as well. It brings in an entirely new look to your images, and can make them MUCH more appealing. [(Explained graphically)](http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7196) Sorry that this is turning into one of those tl;dr posts, so I'll show what I mean..  (Tried to keep your lineart the same, as a lot of things are probably what you wanted). Now this is a horrid edit of mine lol, and I'm certain someone here could do better, but it's a quick example :). Assuming it's an imp-like creature, it's skin would be light in spots. Monsters eyes should look less humanoid, gives it less of an intellectual look, and more vicious. Try not to 'decorate' your monsters with one pixel things, like the 'spike' things coming off the ears. So yeah, in short, change the colors, don't use basic simple colors, use interesting shades, change the hue and saturation around a bit, find better colors. This also, is only one way, and one persons opinion. And good lineart. :) EDIT: Oh forgot to say, good luck with the 100% custom graphics idea. It's admirable when people choose to do this, it's not as hard as a custom engine, but it can be quite time consuming.

Merrimint has been in slow progress, so far as to halting progress for months, but recently the work rate has been increasing. We are currently offering development testing, not 24/7, as crashes still seem to occur, but Anthony is working hard to level it out. Alot of Hikaru's section of this thread is outdated, the RMVX generator hairs are old along with their palettes and the base. The features will probably stay intact, along with new additions from Anthony. EO is an amazing engine, and we're glad to be using it.

Thanks for this, but isn't it.. Public Const MAX_**MAPX** As Byte = **14** Public Const MAX_**MAPY** As Byte = **11** No big deal though. Quite Helpful :)

 I will complete the male base soon. His legs are kind of messed up, so it's a 'To Be Released Soon!' thing. I'd love any helpful tips, It's still a work in progress, so I'm willing to test anything, will post more things as they arise. :azn: P.S. I hate watermarks, but, please don't use it for anything, or redistribute as your own and all that, not expecting anyone will, just.. saying. EDIT: Added the white background, as I have a light theme on, but most people have dark, and this base is better against light colors.

 Body needs fixing, so I covered it. And sorry for such repetition in clothing, looks like a cult. x_x Uhm. I know there is one guy hair in there that looks feminine, but since the rise of Justin Bieber, i've been so confused with the gender and hairstyle mixing. Rambling on over just posting a preview. Uhm. Love criticism. Love bluntness! Anyways yeah. Hairs. Not body and clothing. ;D
