That looks very isometric to me. I don't know why, but it does. It's pretty sweet all in all you could've done better with the sign though. It's lacking the texture that you've given everything else.

Do you think it could be the shape of the autotiles making it look isometric (how the grass seems to come to a corner near the water)?    I couldn't really decide whether to leave them or try to tweak them more.   But, yeah, I was terribly lazy shading that sign.  I'll fix that.

@Akaire: OMFG !! I don't know how to do it with photoshop and put it in a FOG picture. About the lamp, don't worry it's off.

About your tileset, it looks iso but is good enough, fix that sign as J-Street says and put in it a shadow. Add some rocks, flowers and a custom character that fits that style.

Is it just me, or does everyone love making screens as dark as freakin' possible anymore?  :|

 

[Skie Fortress]

I can see it just fine. Must be your brightness settings or even the monitor itself. Either way  :\

On topic: More graphics testing.

I don't never get tired of looking at this.

I ran a threshold filter on that map posted by ~R~

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w233 ... eshold.png

The white areas are the only areas that emit any light. The black areas have no color whatsoever (it's rough). That's how dark it is.

When threshold is set to 0, the whole map should ideally be visible.

Yeah, thats pretty freaking dark.  Lighten it up a little.  I like the idea of night scenes, but I like to see the map well as well.

Yayme, my demo is comming along nicely and should be released in about a week or 2. Now I'm done with the mapping for it and I'm getting my feedback from people who played the tech demo, this will be the whole area you can visit in my demo (except for the capital north.)

!!Worldmap here!! (7mb)

So no more mapping for me for a while, and placing monsters and quest npc's everywhere lol.

Hope you all like the maps, there is a total of 10 maps in there pasted together in PS.

Oh, were your shadows also part of the tileset with a fog overtop?  Heh, I'm a little confused, nevermind.  ^_^;

I'm 3/4 done the template for the tileset, and I'll see if I can attempt to make moderately decent flowers and rocks.  Hm, and I completely forgot the sign's shadow too, thanks.

The scene looks pretty ominous tinted dark red.  If that was the atmosphere you wanted, it's good; but if it's simply a scene at night, I'd use a desaturated, blue-ish screen tint instead.  I think it will probably look more night-time-ish that way, without the need to darken the screen so much.  I think.  :-[

@Skie Fortress: Looks pretty good to me.

Des stop being a hater. Just go with it for once :x (Yes, I know, I'm asking too much...)

~R~ that lightning is a bit too loud if you ask me. Why the hell is there a barrel isolated on a mountain top?

One Time I DID experience a day like that, it was beautiful, but it left me blind and with third degree burns all over my body   *please, delete those bright rays, they bring back the horrible memories*

 

[nick5674398]

the light is coming from the top left corner, but there's a sun in the back round. Other than that, looks nice.

mhmmm... lower the opacity to 80-120
and: THINK SUBTLE.
you want nice little airy sunbeams. NOT incinerating rays of death.

and now that i can see the background rock piles... make them not so... pyramid like... it looks unatural.

Spoiler: see? light, airy?
