Proof of Life #75: Practicing my parallax mapping skills
Added 2021-05-03 16:10:13 +0000 UTCHeya guys and gals, it's-a me, PoL Monday post!
It's the last one before Update 10. Since the earlier versions of the new update will be released next Monday, I will skip a week and write the next PoL on the 17th (unless I have something really important to say).
About HC2's development
Unfortunately, I've had to cut the last H scene I had planned for the main quest out of this Update because time was running short, and I wanted more time to focus on Solana's last quest. But no worries, because it will definitely show up in next Update.
I've promised to put more work into making better maps for HC3, and I already practiced a bit in HC2 because I wanted the map for Solana's last quest of her storyline to look a bit more polished than the generic ones made in RPG Maker map generator.
So yeah, as you can see from the picture above, it's far from perfect yet, and I didn't have much time to work on it, but you can kind of get a sneak peek of what the maps in HC3 would look like, except, well, better. Oh, and don't mind the young Noah sprite in the middle, I simply used it to test out the map and take this screenshot, it has nothing to do with the story.
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

2021-05-04 12:05:47 +0000 UTCYeah, I get what you mean. However, I don't know if it will suffice, but I added some dialogue mentioning the nature in this place was supposed to be different than anywhere else, thus adding some kind of explanation as to why the map looks that way.

2021-05-04 08:45:15 +0000 UTCThanks! Well, to be honest, I'm not sure the lore has much to do with the way the maps are made. The style, I agree, but the lore? : D Also, it's a bit late for that, considering the main tribe map, all the house's interiors, and the maps for Shaevys' first quest are all made in parallax (using GIMP). But it's true that I used many more assets for this one, so it might stand out a bit too much. Still, I wanted to make something pretty for Solana's last quest, if anything else ; )

2021-05-03 23:57:56 +0000 UTCHow dare you, sir! My mother is a very nice lady, definitely not a parallax map!

2021-05-03 23:53:22 +0000 UTClooks amazing! Love the details and looks a lot more artful and not that vanilla and generic. Still not quite sure whether you should "break" the style you got so far within HC2, you know. Its beautiful but it kinda breaks the lore if you know what I mean.
