Overview of my RPG

Here is the second town, its a bit sketchy, but overall I think it has a nice look to it. What do you think? Town is called: Golden Town.

Looks nice. I assume that the heros will do a lot of travelling by boat? Cause that bumpy terrain does not look very traversible. TECHNICALLY, there are more than just one tilesets, but only tiny amounts of each, Im_on_56k is pointing out that for the most part the map looks the same. There is so much bumpy terrain, is there enough space for creeps and bosses and such?

Hehe Marksman you posted this a little while ago, and I've finally found something to say back to it :). Okay, a map looks better more uneven, then completely flat doesn't it? More texture = more quality more quality = more better looks to the overall... yes, there is only really one tileset but its hard when its all one theme...

Nice. One of the problems i have when I'm terraining, I always try to make it look natural, and realistic. But when it comes to villages and such it always looks a little bit off, buildings too clustered, random gaps in the streets, etc. I think this has a very nice look to it, especially the center part (cool garden, love the fences), and the cathedral (nicely nestled in woods).

Edit: heh, you posted same time. Yes, actually goes with what i was saying, it looks realistic. Going back and looking I see there actually are plenty of places for stuff to happen, but even those spots cleverly terrained to look rugged.
 
I try to feel like im living in one of those small homes and make it life size from what I see, but then the heroes come along and they like are the size of the house :confused: so its sort of hard to balance everything, yes the garden took me like 3 minutes lol i just sort of placed them in there :p. When it comes to randomizing im good for that I guess.

Every area is its own... like... if your level 1 your going to be staying in one area because creeps will respawn so you don't really need much room to go... there is plenty of it just depends on how you look at it :S... I guess if I look at it differenly then others lol.

WOW!

This is the first time in awhile I've peeked in here, but WOW! :D That looks awesome! Very realistic! :p (However, if you were to put a 10 foot hero in there, I'm sure it wouldn't look AS realistic, but hey, that ain't your fault, right? :p)

Very good! :D Love it!
 
Oh my this nice addition has just been completed to my map, this guy did it for me lol I can't take credit other then making the image thats about it, he got it all to work,

World Map - The World Map is purchasable at one of the local shops, after purchased click in your inventory, the image of the overview fades out meaning in, and after you click it once more it will hide the image, it is very clever.

Omg, my weapondry shop for my rpg has a huge ALE sign on the front LOL? What the heck... a beer / weapondry shop sweetness!

After looking at all the terrain and stuff how bout you tell us what your rpg is about?

Nice village and map btw!

::Edit::

For the world map thing (i love the idea) wouldn't the fading cover the inventory and stuff?
 
No, wrong, it only covers your main area, so basically... the screen, but not counting the menu bars on top and below and stuff its rather awesome. I can't take credit for making it thou :). It was sort of my idea.. but lordloki basically built it for me ^^ he is very smart with triggers.

so whats the rpg story line or something... give us a hint as to what it will be. :D
 
Well, it will be realistic is mostly what I can say, there is no cheapness like all heroes are balanced farely well... there are 4 types of heroes

- Melee
- Defensive
- Ranged
- Magic

3 in each type of group so 12 heroes...

Story line is sort of like these were lands of long ago were gods kept them locked for our own safety... many treasures were locked and put in, as the days go by the gods have choosen few only to explore the vast land of secrets and legonds :)

"Lost legonds"

I don't know what more I can tell you. lol.

So the maps called 'Lost Legends'?

Good (short) story line so far
 
Legends is mispelled on purpose? Is it just for flare (like how people spell "old" like "olde") or what? Or is the accent on the O, making it ryme with pond?
 
Off topic to this thread but on topic for mine (dont ask what that means) I was wondering if you would like to help me do some terraining on my RPG map im starting. Youve seen the thread 'RPG Idea' well if you want to just tell me there and note that i credit any and all help.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
