Finally got my cliffs looking decent, still need to fix the edges though.

Looking at pictures of dirt and rocks is surprisingly interesting.

The stone path is bugging me a bit; it should lead the eye to where you want players to go, but it seems to be looping around all over the place and feels a bit random. Will there be other maps? If so, how will the player reach them? (I don't see an obvious "go to the next screen here" spot).

Ok, using taller sprites (32x48) definitely looks way better.

To parallax map or not to parallax map...I feel like it gives more control in some ways but limits in other ways.

I tend to put a lot of thought into the culture of the places I design, and that determines what sort of buildings they have (if any--there are some tent-dwelling nomads in my game), what objects decorate the background, what the NPCs are doing, and what sort of clothes people wear. Main...

I could see it going really well with a cyberpunk/sci-fi game or one that's very action-focused. I make most of my music in MilkyTracker, which is free but also pretty basic.

Very nice! This gives a serious, somewhat lonely/sad feeling. I would expect a game with this as the main theme to have some major tragic elements and to be fairly serious in tone.

Wow it's been a while since I last came on here! I got distracted in a big way, but I'm back! (and busy working on my autotiles)

Oof, college finals. *dead*

I worked with Javascript before a long time ago (when I was in high school), but if I wanted to use it now I would have to completely relearn it. I'm familiar enough with the concepts of object-oriented programming that I would pick up on the basics again really quickly, but programming in any...

Got most of the spells in order for my Elemancer and Priestess...still tweaking things though, math is a pain!

Got some new tiles about how I want them, it's starting to look like the Hoh Rainforest on my map! :D

I've been thinking of including some minibosses in my game that are avoidable, but the path to avoid them is a puzzle--basically, giving the player a choice between solving the puzzle or fighting the miniboss. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, though, and if I do implement it, whether I should...

I haven't seen many really good map-based battle systems personally, but I thought the kind of hybrid system in Chrono Trigger worked really well (basically enemies are visible on the map, then attack when you approach and start a turn-based battle right there on the map). While it would be a...
