Niche! You're back!

OT: More decoration? (E.g. plants, bushes)

Let me give you some hints to make the map look better:

1. Those autotiles you use for the treetops are bushes. ;) The best way too create lots of trees in a line is to start on the second layer. Place the lowest row of tiles. Build up by placing the next row above it, then the next one, until you've done them all. If a tile must go over another, only do that tile on the third layer, so you have more space. If it still doesn't fit, choose that tile as the graphic of an event (fourth layer). BTW, start from the top while doing this.

2. Those colors don't really go with each other. Maybe you should try to change the colors of those auto-tiles. Elseway, try to fit a pre-made jungle tileset for RMXP. I've seen one on RRR.

3. It's kinda hard too say... The map is empty... But it's also full. You are using too much of the same decoration. Try to put some bushes near the trees first. To make paths, use the dirt or shadow autotiles. Those logs, try to bring more difference and place them further away from each other. It would also look nicer if you place those tree bases next to one of the ends of the logs. Also, those trees. Try to place more of them near all the other trees (bushes).

4. The paths and the water... The paths, if they are nature-made keep them like they are now, but if they are man-made, make them more linear. The water is good but if you want to, you can make some small streams coming from it and use the logs as bridges.

I think that was it. Remember, these are only some hints. You don't have too use them, if you don't want to.
Last thing I want to say is good going, and gl.

I'm wondering why you decorated the middle of the lake. The player isn't going to see it anyways.

@Dely: Are those tilesets bushes? Wth? I've always used them as treetops too... *A while later* Well, I've tested it, and you can partially walk underneath them.

@Sase: Wow, you always see the smallest mistakes... You have an eye for it :P.

Delyemerald2

@Sase: I was thinking the same 0.0

@SBR: I've looked on google while making a reply, and saw them being used as bushes. Also tested myself with the bottom of the trees, and it just doesn't fit.

Sase

I've always used the "bush" autotile for creating treetops, and I'm happy with it. Looks much more natural than the 2D-ish other leaf roof.

SBR*

The other '2D-ish' leaf roof is for further on the roof. So it's like: Grass (layer 1) | 'Bush' leaf roof (layer 3) |  '2D-ish' leaf roof (layer 2)

Let the 'bush' leaf roof overlap the '2D-ish' leaf roof for 1 tile.

Um, I'm probably going to have a bit involving the centre of the lake. They go through the jungle on a suicidal mission into the middle of Water faction territory. Also, I kinda have to have some decoration there because there's going to be a cutscene involving shellshock in the center of the lake. I'm not sure what I shall do about the canopy tile but I'll definitely do something about it. Whatever about the decor, what do you guys think of the shape of the map (paths, etc).

Also, those leaf paths are natural indeed.

EDIT: I've been going through a big list of cliches and I've realised that I actually don't have quite a significant amount of them. Which was a nice egotip.

Ah, excellent.  You liked my amusing sideshow, yes?  I'm just a simple fool, my wit entertains the wise, and my wisdom fools the fools.



I'm like the bible, widely hated and beautifully quotable.

I'm such a double posting bastard! Anyway, I took a break from the project for a little bit there, have finished that for the minute. EWIII is now taking the front seat while my two other main projects are going to the back of my brain to fester.

Run into a slight problematic problem: When I damage some enemies to a certain point, they become invincible or rather, all my attacks keep missing. Does anyone have a solution to this problem, because I've solved it before and it is rather extremely annoying that I can't figure it out now.

EDIMOTHERFUCKINGDIT: Two rather interesting ideas:
A) Plants are also pokemon, some of which evolve occasionally. A few might attack you, some might give you their berries if you faithfully promise on yhour soul to spread them far and wide.
B) For comic relief, I'm going to have a sort of helper character who often shouts vileplume in the middle of his speeches.

EDIMOTHERFUCKINGDIT? What's an edidit?

OT: I like the plants idea! If idea B is worked out well, it's good! I guess...

The Niche

It's phonetically better. Emotherfuckingdit just doesn't fit (drumbeat).

I was considering making humans pokemon too, since they quite obviously are, with some people, such as Red, being able to use moves.
The character who idea B is centred around is funniest if you imagine him with an american accent, I can't quite describe it.

Are humans pokemon too? Well, you got me, I didn't read your whole post...

The Niche

Well, if you're going to have something replace animals, that same thing will have to replace the most intelligent animal on the planet (third if, like me, you're a douglas adamsist).

On another, slightly meaner note, please don't say anything if you're not going to read the full post, it's the second time you've done it to me.

I'm sorry, I might read it today :D.

Upperdate! I'm starting from scratch! If anyone has any suggestions, or other such thingermajigs, please do put them forward.

Personal opinion...
ABS is not the way to go for a Pokemon game, Lol.

Ugh, I am not going to make another turn based game, I fucking hate those.

...Wow, I seem to be the one that posts the most here  :<_<:

Alright, just thought I'd put out a little update because Black and White have just been released. I'd like to inform you all that unless there is a mystery dungeon release with all the new pokemon, the black and white pokemon won't be appearing in this version. Though I may have some character who secretly is a zoroark bu- Nothing. You didn't see this, ok?

Edit: Did a frankensprite for Ruby.

<Mean Person Blizzard> Original rpg maker characters in a pokemon game? Fail. Now, I'm not a fan of pokemon, but its sorta weird seeing them in there. Sorry, this doesn't comply. :/

<Me> This looks pretty good. I do like the pokemon sprites. I really want to see some gameplay. This I gotta see xD. 

(I was kidding Blizzard xD)
LEVEL ME DOWN. THE ANTI-BLIZZ GROUP IS AMONG YOU... Do it for the chick below...She watches..<br />

Blizzard

Actually I think it's better to make up your own pokemon if you make a pokemon game. xD Though, I think using an ABS for a pokemon game would be utterly pointless. The franchise just doesn't feel that way.
