Lol, it's not exactly the same..
For starters, pallet town was my logical test map for mode7.
Secondly, my pallet includes a few tiles from route1 because i was testing map sizes and didn't feel like shifting 100 events a few tiles. My map also includes some of the sea from route 22 i think (the route to cinnibar) for testing the horizon..
Finally, in that example, mode7 is used as a static viewpoint.. My buildings have 4 sprites, one for each direction and my maps can be rotated 360 degrees..
Thanks for showing me that game though, i was unaware of it..
