mapping can be fun again, actually (Patreon)

I wonder if it would be bad form to post each map we finish. This is not an RPG for exploration, but then I want there to be some form of something to at least minimally be surprised by when time finally comes to play.
On the other hand... I've been aching to do parallaxes some number of years and I can't help but feel very happy whenever a map finally comes together.

Here's a bit of one.

You'd think all the fancy light effects would slow us down, but no, that's the high-mileage part and fun part of the program. The main slog is the tiles themselves, which are unavoidable. But I've been using Aseprite's tilemap feature instead of RPG Maker to map this one, and that has helped a bit... my sanity, if nothing else.

We'll get there yet.
