I gave up on this as I can't script at all so I might aswell post the one screen there is here.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/xilefian/xilefOSlogon.png[/img]
It was supposed to be a fake Operating System made in rpg maker but it really didn't work, I didn't even have mouse or keyboard input. Most of that image is actually a single background, the icons and the text at the bottom are seperate images to everything else.
I stopped work on this as I was getting no where with it and Battle World RPG is more fun to develop.
 
@Hevendor: I think Elias took my words but that screen seriously made me have an eyegasm. That has to be one of the most superb screens I've seen in a while. :) amazing work mate. But quick question. Please tell me the characters are going to be animated. I don't really care so much about the enemies but the main people have to be. Its just logic. Hahaha
 
@Elias: It does seem a bit uniform looking at it from a distance. I imagine in-game it wouldn't be that way, though. It's hard to judge seeing a large map like that.

@Cowlol: That's hot. <3

@Hevendor: I so can't wait for this. Though with the Energy bar, I can't help but think of Solar Boy Dijango, I dunno why. :x

@malick: ...it's... just a brightly colored re-color...
 
You're incredibly skilled at stating the obvious, Atemu.I was just wondering if there were any objections to the colour scheme before I went on with the rest......
 
@Malick:
It looks really good. Your tree recoloring is getting much better, although I still say you could do with a little more contrast (on the leaves). The brown-grays of the cliffs and tree trunks are a nice change of atmosphere from the cold grays of the standard RTP. Subtle, yet very pleasing.

I also like the bits of blue added by the flowers. If I were you, I'd play on that blue/teal area of the color wheel and add some larger clumps of flowers to really complete the environment. Some pale orange/peach would look good scattered in there as well.

Oh, and don't forget to fix some of those shadows. Looks like some of them didn't come out as semi-transparent. ;)

EDIT:
Looking over it again, I do think the sand could probably be darkened a little to fit in more. Or, if you're up for trying out your editing skills, you could make some kind of a pebble beach, instead of sand. It would certainly complement the cliffs more.
 
And you're incredibly skilled at being stuck on yourself, but you don't hear me complaining.

If you want critique on your 20 second recolor, here it is (though you'll probably just cry and whine and moan like you did the last time):

1.) The trunks of beach trees are never that color. Ever. The trees grow in an area where there is usually a lot of sunlight, and also where there's barely enough nutrients in the ground to even get as tall or as thick as the large ones are (though admittedly that's the fault of the original tileset, not you) unless they're directly ON the water. The original tileset had the coloring at least relatively right. If you do want to change them, I suggest exercising your Google-fu to look for pictures of trees found on or around beaches and rocky areas.

2.) The cliffs don't look right, you totally botched the recolor on them. They look like they want to be brown, but are still struggling to be grayish. Again, simple Google-fu research and time can solve that problem.

3.) Your shadows are fucked up; it looks like you tried to do them yourself in Photoshop and didn't make the shadowing layer transparent enough. You need to fix that.

4.) Your grass -- and anything green for that matter -- are way too bright. It clashes horribly with the brown-but-I-want-to-be-gray rocks, and just generally sticks out like a sore thumb.
 
THAT'S the type of critique I want! Not some lame ass 1 line! ...It wasn't a 20 second recolour...>_> anyway....

Yeah thanks I'll revert the tree's back to the colour they were...I don't think the cliffs are THAT bad at all really...
 
Anyway, Malick if you are trying to match your other tilesets, you have a ways to go. Like grammar girl here said, it is too bright. But, it is a good start. Your other tilesets look good, so I'm sure you will figure it out.

Uh, it's called a common typo. Don't insult people while referring to their knowledge of the English language, it's really low.

As for Malicks map...I think the sand is too bright as well. Also, the cliffs look very unnatural because of the shape they are in. Keep working on that, you get better at it over time.
