I looked at your screenies. The first one's pretty good, but I believe the second one (snow one) has too much empty space.
I really like the title thing with the moon and the lake.

My god this has improved. In a year this'll be an actual game.
Yeah, it´ll probably be finished in 2009.
The manuscript is coming along well too, with story and scenes.
Note: If there is a very good mapper out there who wants to help me, pm me.
This is a paid job.
-The person who gets the job, will help me remake the maps, and make new ones.
You should be able to remake all the maps, in a few weeks.
Anyone skilled, who wants to take the challenge?

You must either make alot of money or pay your staff very little, because you are constantly hiring :3
Also, is there any way you could show us some of your work done so far? Because the front page work is not appealing at all (Specifically that horrendous art you drew. No offense, but its bad)

I don´t agree with you about the art. Basil´s art, yes.
But Sareo´s art is a nice portraying of him, even if it´s executed badly.
I could make it better with some more work on his artwork, if I wanted to.
Then tell me what should be better.
-I will not show anymore maps until they are remade.
It will take some time.
We´re working on the story right now, and an intro.
No offense, but if I hire people for money, it`s my business.

About media, you have the character portraits, and the Sira poster.
They are all well-made.
-Mapping has a long way to go.
I will post stuff when it´s ready.

I want to give thanks to all the tips on how to make more liveable maps. And the maps will be more filled in time. The maps are not finished in pre-production.
On other things, the story-work is coming up pretty good. And more ideas are taking form. But as today, the story feels pretty solid.
As for dialogs and other stuff, work is being done on that as well.
The game is progressing and I am sure it will be released in time!

Can i just say to who ever makes the map for this...
1 Don't open RPG maker or even think about rpg maker until you've drawn your towns, forest or whatever blueprint by hand... why? Because your hand doesn't feel limited my puzzle pieces (read: tilesets)
2 Open RPG maker
3 Consider what resources go with your blueprint (remember you're imagination designed the map, foresttown01 didn't design it.
4 ) put these resources into a new tileset and call it (Sharapova Village) or something completely more relevant.
5 ) Map your blueprint, if you need something that you can't find a tile for try editing something or substituting something
6 DO NOT MAP IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE MOST ZOOMED IN... IT RESULTS IN VERY VERY VERY BORING SYMMETRICAL AND EVENLY SPACED MAPS. WHEN YOU ARE GOOD AT MAPPING THEN MAYBE YOU CAN ZOOM OUT.
And I haven't read a single other post in this thread and I don't plan to.
Oh and please in time consider changing the name of this game, it is a TERRIBLE name for an rpg maker game.

Calibre: I´m going to ignore that.
I´m a bad mapper, so what?
I´m more of a game planner and story writer. I let other people do the mapping
and other things I can´t handle, so what´s the problem?
It´s up to me what I want to work on.
/
I may be a bad mapper, but I have the determination and will to make
this a great game.
-I have big things planned for this game, so stay tuned.
I´m a writer, and I have the ability to make a great game.
Update 9th May 08- Good news:
I have found a good mapper, that I´m currently having discussions
with if he´ll help me.
I´ll keep his name a secret at the moment...
-If we make a deal, he´ll make COMMERCIAL QUALITY maps for me, as well as new
spritesheets and animated battlers.
-There are more big things planned..(It´s a secret)
...........
-I have new sprites coming up, but until I get more of them from my spriter,
I won´t post them.
Calibre, again: About the name:
My team members like it, and it´s a beautiful name.
It´s my game, and my choice.
It´s pronounced [Sajra-Laand of power].
Sira is a beautiful name, and I defend it.

What the fuck are you talking about... my first line... To whoever is the mapper... So if you have other people do your mapping I'm talking to them, not you.
It was also solid advice...
When at any point did I say, you should be the mapper. Maybe you should read my post before you reply.

5 pages of bitching + I can do this speeches... I don't think so... You have a spoiler that says 2 NEW maps, I assume they are what you will be using... they look awful so I give you constructive advice.
and yeah... so call it "Sira" then, and ditch "land of power". Which happens to sound like Crystal Quest etc.

No.
It´s our decision what we call our game. We don´t want suggestions
for the title, sorry.
If we change the name, it will be near the actual completion next year, and it will
be decided by the team only.
-I don´t want to change it right now, because I can envision the theme of the game,
by it´s title. If I do it later, see above.
It´s just a nice, Nintendo-like title. Legend of Zelda etc. A simple and nice title.

Okay guys, lets calm down and get over it.
Although the maps on the front page do need some work.
But it's pretty pointless, starting arguments. It's gets everyone no where.
So...2009, eh? I guess you're planning some pe-retty big things.
Just remember...quality, not quantity.

I don't think I've had an argument on here since the days madmax was active here and I'm certainly not now. Good to see this guy takes criticism well though. In the above quote you sound like a mother defending it's ugly child. I'm 100% sure I'm a bit older than you so please refrain from calling me child. Good boy.
Maneo I just want to say you are a total tool and you need to stop acting like this game is hot shit. (CAUSE ITS NOT)
Notice how you keep giving updates with nothing to show except shitty pictures and sub par maps? Calibre is trying to help and you treat him like a pest? Man whats wrong with you?
Also I doubt your 28, because I could swear I read a post before saying you were 29.
I think you are actually 13 and are trying to be cool.
Try actually taking that pic serious? It looks like a retarted cartoon. It lacks a sense of realism, maybe thats what you were going for. Hire a concept artist if you have all that money.
No they arent. They look like they were done on notebook paper and on MS Paint.
So far all Im seeing is this thread is for giving you cockstrokes.
If something big comes out of it ill eat my words but until then this looks like overhyped BS and needs serious work (which has been said but none has been shown.)
And before someone comes in here saying im flaming, im not. Im just trying to get my point across and im telling him what I seriously think of this.
I said before that I changed my mind and this wasnt a joke but Im starting to rethink that.

Sometimes the direct method works the best.
Ok, I will ignore that.
All talk like that will be ignored.
I don´t think this is hot stuff, I´m trying to make it hot stuff,
with a lot of effort.
I´m 28, think what you want.

Update:
More Playable characters:
Character 1:
Character name: Balmung "Black Shadow" Azule
Age: Unknown
Height 6'1"
Character type: Rouge Angel
Hair: Red
Eyes: Grey
Background: An angel that left its home in the angel
capital when he was young. He did this to learn the sword arts. He can
use magic like other angels but he has the ability to learn whatever
he has to. He is rarely seen in public and prefers hiding and going
out at night. He hides the fact he's an angel by wearing a large cloak
that hides his wings. He also wears sunglasses to hide his eyes. He
speaks strangely and uses poems sometimes to answer questions proving
him artistic. No one knows how old he is or what his purpose in life
is. If you asked him his age he just says, "Go away before I have to
hurt someone." By James Thorusen, Poison for My Mind Productions 2008.(c).
Character 2:
Name: Richard. Age: 23 Height: 5’7â€

That isnt a smart thing to do. Mostly Ive seen you just fight back with people telling you your stuff looks bad. If you keep ignoring people then absolutely no one will take this seriously.
I may talk like an asshole, but Im seriously trying to help. Im just a harsh guy. I edited the above post with some stuff to help.
People arent going to sugar coat things, and if you dont like it when people lash out on your stuff, then you have to work on that man.
