Spoiler:

New rock. Thoughts?

Click to expand...

The rocks itself look nice, but out of place considering the grass and stuff.
Can't give you a specific reason for it.

It's probably the edges that make it look awkward. I'll post a different version in a bit.

This is the new Fire starter, Frictile.

Frictile isn't based on any animal in particular, though it has traces of animals including platypuses and lizards. It could be described as reptilian legs and tail on a platypus body. At the end of its tail is a rough, fuzzy appendage that it drags on the ground behind it as it walks. This appendage's center is highly thermally conductive; blood vessels in it begin to rapidly move heat from it to a sac of flammable gases in Frictile's throat when it breathes fire, igniting the gases and causing them to expand out through its mouth. It can't breathe fire if its tail is cooled, so it's always running about to keep it hot.

wait, what

No, you can't have these.

Fixed the tiling at the top.

Big update today!

First, the desert update I promised.



The desert routes, the first of which is Route 61, are a bit different, compared to the normal routes. You see, in the largely featureless expanse of the Aleya Desert, path markers have been laid down indicating the best route through the desert. They're thick red poles, as seen in this screen.

You'll need them. If you get lost and go off the path, you'll pass out...



...and return to the beginning of the route. Stay as close to the path markers as possible; you'll always be able to find another one fairly easily. If you ignore the path markers, as in this screen, you'll never get out of the desert.

Next... well, check the main post. For reference, a crapload of new screens and maps are up.


Prettified Fortbay...


Prettified Rosvale. The Center is ugly because it's a placeholder- but there's some interesting stuff in there, which you'll see soon. A hint: look at the new maps. Something's missing.


Prettified Route 50...


The Aleya Forest just has the new charset in its screen now.

Next, new maps:


Fortbay, now all pretty-like.


Rosvale. Also all pretty-like!


Whitport. Just has new cliffs.

And, the map that's NEW:


Windrock isn't much. However, that pond is filled by a freshwater spring; this site was settled by Dustplane's inhabitants when that spring was found.

So, yeah.

I still feel that, like others, the grass tiles are way too bright. They completely clash with, and overpower, the sparsely colored rock and cliff tiles. It almost hurts to look at it for too long. I think lightening that up would go a long way towards "prettifying" your towns and areas quite a bit.

All right, I'll have a different grass tile up in a bit.

For now:

Wow! This game looks great.
Can't wait to see it develop!
Wonder what Heat Wave is for?
The maps are great too!

All right. First, new grass coloration:



Next?



Prof. Sakaki's lab. The professor himself isn't present because his OW sprite is still FRLG-styled, but the HGSS rips work well.

Looks good so far, nice cities & names :)

How do these look? Not quite sure I should use these.

They're extremely cleaned-up HGSS frankenbuildings.

*long whistle* Those look very good, you've got alot of pateince to clear them up.
Good job.

All right, I'll be using those.



Player characters. Woo.

i like the male character but the female one looks like it can be tweaked? her right shoe (my right) is kind of huge and her pose is somewhat awkward. i know you can do better. im supporting this game :)

Well, this game certainly looks promising. Can't wait to see how it goes. :)

Revised the female PC's sprite. Better pose, better hat, a little shorter.

Any and all G3 buildings are going to be replaced now; in a couple days I'll be putting out another map replacement batch. Do wait until then.

Case in point:



Rosvale's getting its own new buildings.

Why did you delete the same post? Just to bump it up?
Do that again and I'll just lock the thread.
