Alright, so i've started to map for my game, although im a horrible mapper, and i am mainly just creative with words and events, so it will be a tough project. So im using Post Town 01 tileset, and i was hoping that somebody could help me out on the ideas to make it look better, because this is one of 3 maps where i use the normal RMXP tile set, and i don't want the players to quit the game because of the three first maps (a lot of players focus on the maps so) :/  Any ideas of what i can improve and for what i can add? -Sincerely Nub Cake

 [Show/Hide] Koroshite Gakuen - Paused - lack of inspiration Koroshite Gakuen means Killing in the School, and my current project is finally gonna be the first game i complete. As for plans, i have though of the chat options, full screen, menu and might a diary, and a phone system. The game is based on a girl, still unnamed, and it's a day at the high school where they play mafia. Mafia is a game where a few is selected to be mafia, and a a couple selected for detectives. The rest is innocent, and the mafias touch them and tells them their dead, and they eventually lie down, sit down or go to a certain room. Now, the detective can then go to them, and the dead guy will tell them one thing that can describe the murders appearance, but no names, and no one else knows what that guy told the detective. Either the mafia kills all, or the detective catches the mafias, and the game ends. Now, the plan is that there happens an actual murder at the school, there isn't cops in the town, and there isn't enough resources to send more than one police officer, which can't figure out much. So as the police officer doesn't do too much, you decide to take it up yourself, track down the murder. I don't feel like telling more as it kind of spoils it, but i can say that I'm still at the mapping, and i try my best to make them look as good as possible, as I'm a horrible mapper. Decent art artist?
I could really use some help for some of the graphics for character faces, and eventually a few character pictures c: I love to write stories, if you're stuck on your games story, i might be able to help :) |

i think using original tileset would make it harder to present it as modern era  your map was kindda dull (sorry, trully) , its just too empty  if there are ppl living there, it need variety of things (as different ppl do different things) , and every house should have different kinds of look (dont make all the same) the ground/grass is too well tended , if its modern there should be stone tile or just make variety of different tile so ppl who look at it wont get bored of seeing the same things  sorry if i offended you there are good/great tileset out there for modern place , i got it from someone in this forum and i forgot where it is (japanese website) dunno if it would help, example of my modern map (feels empty cuz cant put event in the picture)

Because if so i'd love if you could upload them  If not i'll just figure out something on my now being map ^^
