Welcome to the Official Screenshot Thread. Here you can post any screenshots related to maps, battles, title pages, anything in-game related you believe needs advice. Also, to ensure that you'll get the correct feedback include information regarding what the screenshot is about.

Rules:

• You must leave critique on ANY previous screenshot. It DOES NOT have to be the last one you see. 

  If you have already left feedback on a previous post, but then post your own image to critique. You are STILL required to give feedback to a DIFFERENT screenshot. (I cannot stress this enough ~kayden997)

  This is simply due to respect for other developers. It's not exactly hard to leave some advice on a previous post. It is common courtesy. We are all here to help each other, as is the point of this thread. 

   

  Basically, to avoid any problems. just leave Critique on a screenshot in the SAME post as your thread. If you want to leave additional Feedback, without screenshots that is brilliant, however you are STILL required to post more if you post a different screenshot. 

• No random Chit-Chat. A Screenshot isn't required but discussions between two members should be done via PM
• Spoiler Large Images. 
• Wait 30 posts until you repost the same Screenshot. 
• Do not double post. If no one has replied edit your current post and replace the screenshot

All other Global Rules Apply

If you have any other questions then feel free to PM @Jonnie91 or @kayden997

So I guess I'll go first: 

This is a screenshot from mine and Shaddows second game Lullaby. This is a Decision system. The mapping is only a placeholder. It will NOT look like that....Any feedback?

Edit 7/2/13: If you have a series of screenshots you would like critiqued at once (3 or more screenshots), you may create your own topic in this forum and post them there instead of posting them to this thread. If you have less than 3 screenshots ready to be critiqued, then you would continue to use this thread.

Just recently I finished making an overworld map using RPG Maker MV. It has become kind of a hobbie to me. I haven't really made anything else in the software besides using the map editor, I'm sure I can't get a game done on my own. Since you're basically creating pixel art, I started experimenting and creating a few maps on my own.

The video above is a timelapse of a 4 hour process in which I just sat down and "freestyled" a map from scratch on the editor. You'll be able to see how I went from the most basic shapes to detailing and giving the map texture for a very organic look. It may not be pratical for a game, but I think that the ending result turned out great. I want to post it here for anyone wanting to use as reference for future projects given that the process itself is pretty straight forward.

You can also download those as free resources and import to your project in my page:

So, I recently learned how to parallax map, and I've been having loads of fun with it Here's a few maps I made for my project using parallax mapping~

My main character's hometown:

The living room in her house:

And her bedroom:

Any feedback would be much appreciated! And thanks in advance 

The idea with this dungeon is that, while the first two floors are pretty standard, the player then must overcome "four elements" based challenges. There are obstacles that you can only get past by using magic spell items that you would previously buy.

The dangers include dangerous objects, damage floors, hidden pits and one pond in the water level that you will slide into on the ice tiles unless you use magic to freeze it.

The first level contains a pit that you must use a certain kind of spell to cross, and there's a clue as to which you should use.

The air level contains a puzzle in which you have to step on the hexagrams in the correct order to proceed.

The cats on the second level pose riddles which are questions about previous in-game events.

The last floor is simply one where a cutscene happens.

The giant hexagrams are healing spots.

With each floor, the idea was to keep the general style throughout while putting in some of each element.

Finally, I know the doors look like they don't align correctly, but in the actual game they do.

I will post other dungeon maps later.

Thoughts?

These are the screenshots (Ignore the fact that one of them has a significantly visible transparent background part that I forgot to remove):

I hope you like these maps!

i'd love any feedback's about the maps or the Hud as long as its not about the shadows which i dont really pay attention on.

I'm working on the demo, and when the demo is finished I'll make a proper page for the game, but: 
 
At the moment, how do these look? Any thoughts or constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated! I'm using Pixel Myth Germania set as the main mapping set for the Town, which is the bulk of these screenshots. Sprites are my creations using the Game Character Hub.

I would like to have some input on my maps.

The first one is a world map of a floating island.

There is also this one : a kind of mountain dungeon, I guess

There is no event on this map, so it's normal not to see the castle's gate

I would like to show you some screenshots and maps from my game and I hope you can give me some feedback to them♪

Rosenberg, the first town:

Some rooms:

Two of my mountain maps:

The first dungeon:

I hope you like them!

Here's a newer map, too! It's definitely my best (in my opinion). I hope you like it too; share any feedback you have for me.

My second example is a desert town situated out in quite an empty area, but several miles from a larger city.

My third example is a snowy village mainly built to facilitate the large manor, however the snow in the area is unnatural.

I have been working on this project for a while now and today I got the visual equipment working (custom script made by sixth.)

Town

Mansion

Small house

And here are some screenshots of the game in action:

I wanted to give it a very moody and dark feel overall, but I can't decide if it is too bright or too dark. What do you guys think?

Are there any Overworld tilesets people have made out there besides RTP?

I suppose I could create my own world map design in Photoshop, but that would take quite a long time.

I've made this silly starting sequence with a talking pig placeholder. Woo! I hope you like these.

I never liked how your character was stopped by the roof of a tile, so i used a image to do the wall and made it lose opacity when they needed to see things

i also don't like how stairs look, i used shadows to fix that.

The tiles looked plain so i used my video editor to change everything

I also tried to make illumination effects, using light images as light and changing the screen depending of how much lights you have.

The problems is loading everything. i would have to make a script call asking if image manage is ready to fix that. But i don't know how heavy this metod of mapping using images will be at long terms (if the game will be heavy or will freeze a lot). Also because i used a lot of events. I will try to use perfect colision plugin (that detects if pixel collide) to see what i can do to simplify things.

Did you like what i did to the walls? Do you think is a bad idea to use images to make maps (long term lag and size my be problems)? Do you have any suggestions to improve it? What did you think about the light system (i'll have to tweak that later if i use day and night systems)? Do you know any plugin that would help? Any suggestions about the house?

OBS: the house is on a small size because i used animations on the light (if i used a big map it would be bugged with the animation system)

EDIT: pixel movement may be a problem for this too, since in some cases the actor will walk bellow a image .
