TW R1 [Map Revamps]

[Kite]

So yeah, I decided to redo some of the maps.
I would like to know what to improve, etc.

I will add more later, so just let me know what you think.

Generic, squared, RMXP land. You could do a lot better.

[Kite]

Alright, I will try them again  :azn:

Ditch the water. Look at a real forest. Any self-respecting forest is mostly trees. Keep at least some paths walkable, but cover the map in trees.

[Kite]

Ok, I only added water cause the keyword combo has Aqua Field in it.
So I was going for a forest/marsh type look.

Anyway, I will redo it with no water.

[Robin]

.Hack with RMXP graphics? :|

[Kite]

Yeah, don't won't to make customs, when there is 0% money to be made :P
I had some hack tiles, but it was very few, and I don't like mixing.

[Skell]

For gameplay value I recommend you make the maps walkable, don't leave people trapped in small areas on the maps and make more walkable space than unwalkable, especialy in the middle, there is no need to spice up a map that players only walk a few tiles in, it will only be a bother.

[Kite]

True, the only thing that can block players is NPC's though.
But still, guess your right.

I will remember that.

That's a very sad perspective. If you had passion to make a .hack fan-game, surely you'd invest some effort into it to make it at least resemble .hack?

[Kite]

It's not like I have not tried.
I'm not exactly good at pixel art.

I want it to look like it, but like I said.

Just to throw it out there, this was my attempt at customs.

That's not that bad as long as you do a full set with cartoon-ish sprites. :p

No, Kusy, those are sahuagin. >_>

[Kite]

Only problem is, I suck at sprites, and grass, and water, and sand, pretty much all outside stuff.
And can't do PD for anything.

[Kusy]

That's a fucking mudkip. You won't fool me.

Sahuagin.
(I messed up earlier

The is a process between can and can't, crawl before you can walk and when you finally can walk you have to learn to ride a bike, then a car, then a plane and then a spaceship.

Being an artist is not about can and can't, it is about what tools you know and finding/learning methods.

It's because it's a mudkip.

Good point… it definitely looks more like a mudkip.
