Some of the autotile edges stand out in a bad way, but I suppose you'll be fixing that anyway. I like the style overall. It's a nice twist on the painfully overused RTP, so I definitely welcome a change.

Its still a WIP in some areas..... but it looks great... I mean really great

the light post seems to be a little to dark...and maybe some object should also have outline... like thoses barrels
But the SS is awsome!

Thanks guys for your feedback, I went back and redid most of the autotiles, I knew they were sticking out so the only way is too paint each autotile pretty much in the same colour.

I added the black outlines Avadan (thanks for the characters!) to character sets and smaller man-made objects.  I'll leave all nature in the background.  Things still need touching up but I think it's progressing.

Looks really nice Calibre. There's just something in it that makes it all look inconsistent. I think it's the black outlines. It's fine for the characters, but as for the world (bridge, wood, etc) I think it would all blend together better i they werent outlined. Just my thoughts.

Calibre they do look slightly filtered at first glance, but when you look again you can see it's more than that. A lot of people will be under the impression the tileset has just been filtered, but they're really the people you shouldn't care about anyway.

I did an artistic RTP a while back. I completely re-drew the grassland and another one using my mouse and weak colouring methods but it has nothing on this. Below are some of the screenshots I found on my external HD:

And the tileset:

I cringe when I go through my old RMXP folder.

Oh, that´s very artsy, $t3v0!

It sure has been a while, since I had started a project (2 years?)...Since KronikA and Savior failed...But Ã

it looks pretty neat, but I don't like faceset, imo it would do good to just not use face sets at all with that style. And since your using Ro charactersets, consider using a 8frame 8 direction movement script if you aren't already, it'll look better. The chest could do better as well.

@Stevo

I feel like using that a bit... I'm loving this style idea.

 

[Xk8]

Oh, it has a 8 way movement script, with 8 directional animation, each direction has 6 frames =)

The Exploration Points system works similar to the TP system from Riviera.

Major actions such as searching the room or opening a chest, require EP/TP points. These are earned through battles, puzzles and conversational choices.

I thought I'd follow Skiefortress back over to ye good ol' RMXP.org!!
I'm pretty much spamming this on most of the larger communities to
get feedback before I dive into the harder aspects of the CBS.

[Devon Jacobs]

Hey I like that Sion, kinda handheldish look to it. Do you have a demo?

 

[xSionx]

As of now, no. I'm working very hard as of now to get one out in the near future.

[Venetia]

Whoa,  xSionx, that looks absolutely amazing. I'm really, really impressed!

 

[Shifter]

This is a test Ive been working on for a bit trying to get the rtp sprited tilesets to give the impression they've been painted, and sort of a cel look like in the Tales games.  It's still really rough round the edges while I find a consistent method to do it for all tilesets and autotiles so they match.

Does it look much different to normal rtp?  Does it look worth it?   Good / Bad? Does it look like it's just been run through a single filter (because I've actually had to paint a fair bit manually.)

Hey, actually seen this style attempted quite a few times and this one actually looks a lot better than all the other attempts I've seen..at least IMO. 
I like the second version better also, good changes, and as Stevo said..at first glance Im sure people will think this is run through simple filters..but I can also tell that it looks like a fair bit more work went into it.

I like it.

 

[Calibre]

@ Stevo - Yeah I remember you doing them actually.  I thought you did all the rtp thpugh!

I'm not concerned that people think I just clicked the magic "convert" filter and all was finished - so long as it makes the game more visually appealing.  Of course I'm not denying the use of filters, that's why they are there, but there's a big difference between working with them + photoshop in general and opening a picture, clicking on poster edges and saying "Here's a title screen - credit me".

So that's two people that like version 2 with the outlines on objects and 1 that doesn't.  I'm not sure myself about them yet.  I've still got ideas to implement into this and I think I'm going to try making the characters a little bigger too.

(And how did Shifter just get banned between writing that??)

 

[Grathea]

xSionx, that looks incredible, especially the monster sprites and the trees - both are difficult to pull off, and you've done extremely well. Kudos.

 

[Calibre]

I'm not too sure that he actually sprited that stuff, it's an rm2k3 game by the looks of things so I think he's talking about the system itself more than the sprites.  Apologies if you did sprite them Sion.  They look like rips I often see at gamingw.
