How does it work Load the program by double-clicking the RPGMakerTilesetBuilder.exe. I'm not knocking MS paint, I used it for a long time, but you want to escape that feel, not embrace it. MV and MZ tiles are interchangeable, as are the tilesets. There's a lot to be said for custom graphics, but you want to avoid looking like you drew some lines with the MS paint pencil tool. Do I spot a hidden area behind a waterfall in screen number 3? I think I do! welcome, welcome, I'm going to be not so nice and recommend you inspect carefully some pixel art tutorials. Also, the stairs in that first screenshot with the lava (the grey stairs on the left) should be longer by at least one (probably 1.5) tiles to show depth correctly. In fact, it's hard to tell what's going to block your movement. I really like the use of those cliffs and such to give a lot of depth to the overworld, but it's looking really, really busy. #2: Great use of that forest tile and great looking edits! The secrets are very juicy. I'm not sure the style matches REFMAP/M&B, though (it's better).
Except the portal, which is not so pretty. Guys guys guys please you don't need to quote enormous screenshots that are directly above your post we have eyes #1: Those are some pretty pixels.
