Actually, I personally think the color scheme is perfect the way it is. I like the concept, but I'd like to see a more complete version.

Hello, here is some map of mine I'd like you to criticize, I could use some feedback to improve it ^^

At first I wanted to transpose Venice in the Enterbrain RTP style, but finally, I opted for something less...real.
So here we are, like 60 hours later, with some unsual houses soaking in the city channels.
Strange architecture, I know. I tried to mix elements from the basic medieval architecture we can see in the Northen Europe with some others coming from Estern regions (Minor Asia, India).
I hope the final render is not too much eclectic, far from me the idea of a simple patchwork, I tried to be selective.
I will not describe the in-game background (it must have been hard enough to read my english so far), but the little flying jellyfish replace the streelight when comes the night.
So, as the day slowly falls beyond the moutains, another light takes place, and reveal to our eyes the last boats slipping in silence between houses.
We are in cast composed society (didnt'I mentionned India ?), and even if we cant really differentiate the characters, those without tatoos and hat are the lower cast, some kind of slaves.
Between other things, they drive the upper class throught the streets, the way Charon did with the dead on the Styx. I hope the position and move of the characters would have let this analogy appear to your eyes without being said^^
Anyway...

that is drop-dead gorgeous ;D
the texture on the houses could use some work, since it seems perfect. not a scratch or anything to see
anyway, everything on water level (the plants, etc. the waterline) is very perfect
i absolutely love the shadows on the water.
that really adds to the atmosphere, and the jellyfish too
i like to see an animated version of this.

It's really nice. You could think of adding some more sea foliage, such as plants growing on buildings. Also, I think the buildings are too neatly stacked, and it seems unreal. And I'm not entirely convinced about the lighting effects.
Looking good Al, nice and unique feel about it. Not sure how well a boat could navigate such narrow paths - but hey, it has to be cramped to all fit. Still looks pretty nice.

Twitter feed provides quick news. Forums now have post counts. Resume game button takes you to the last area you visited so you don't have to retrace your steps when you open the game again.
Plus there is plenty of room for expansion now.
The bottom box, with the forum links in, will change soon. Not sure how, but it will.

Rekiem, I believe the photo-realism of your background heavily contrasts with the cartoonish landscape of your foreground. Have you considered trying Mario backgrounds instead?
The color scheme is great, but I have to agree with medina here. I love the grass and the background, and the ground tiles are nice as well, but the sign and player could use some work. imo the results would be spectacular if you could replicate the quality of the grass in the foreground.

The colors are great. I totally agree with that.
Alas I finally realised what everyone else realised five years ago: RMXP is not suited for online games. Too much resources, too difficult to host, too much stress when things break because of problems with the engine, and it doesn't even support the standard Ruby socket library C files. It just wasn't working out. I wanted to actually get a game released and out there - and "vdex style" let me do that very quickly. The game is now quite extensive, mostly my own code, but in PHP and in a browser.
