The Eggs of Saear

Standard

The grass palette doesn't look too good in that screenshot. The transition from a dark shade to a light doesn't look too smooth. Darken the lighter color just a bit.

I think the castle looks weird, since I just took the smaller one and blew it up. I'll fix that maybe.

Also, no paths in this level because of the roads. whoa

Heh, very nice use town graphics you have going on there, Spade.
Looks like a fairly nice submap.

I'll excuse the complete lack of ups and downs because it's a town, and towns are mostly flat.

Yeah, the castle does look a bit weird, but other than that, it all looks pretty good.
Looks nice, but I don't exactly like the giant castle wall. I mean, it's huge, and I've always disliked walled-up towns(which are oddly common in SMW hacks).

The giant wall is a major plot point. Also, why wouldn't the town be walled up?

Here we have a spider/crab thing that carries a... coconut like thing... around.



If you jump on it, it drops the thing and flees. Jump on it again to kill it.

First off, the background sunset palette is <3

The crab carrying a coconut a custom sprite or is it just a graphical swap for the koopas.
Either way, it looks pretty good, like always.

It's actually a Rex. The snails are the Koopas.

Oh yeah, that makes sense... I don't know why I didn't think of that after reading the part where they run from you after being jumped on.

The background palette is great, and I especially like the island in the distance. You come up with nice ideas for sprite graphics replacements too. Overall you're doing a pretty good job with the hack so far, keep it up.
Agreed. I'm in love with that pallete, great job!
Really nice palette, and the crab thing is cool too(creative using a blue crab, which really exist).

Now, it's late, but in response to this:

Well, I guess it's just me, but I've always thought it looked awkward. Like, if the walls in hacks weren't so high, I wouldn't mind, but that thing is taller than the CASTLE. Plus, it's like, at least 4x taller than a house. Just imagining living in a town like that, there would be no sun most of the day, it'd be cold and dark.

The new grass is awesome and the sunset palette is really sexy.

I think the giant wall around the town is neat-looking, if that helps.
Well Spud, as seen here, most of the wall isn't that high.



It's only the wall to the north, the Great Wall of Crois, which is the border to the Haslat Desert.

The real question is, what's in the Haslat Desert that they would need such a high, impregnable wall to protect themselves with? Hmm.

I think the wall is fine, it would be bad if you bought a conservatory in your backyard and you lived near the big wall though.
Oh, seeing the whole wall isn't that tall eases my mind.
I think I have some problems.

Look what I learned how to do guys!



A simple cutscene, but this means that I can learn how to make awesome cutscenes!

Also, might as well show an updated overworld.

Ooh, cutscene tool.

It might be better if you drew a custom font for it, though. The Final Fantasy VI/Chrono Trigger font, while by no means ugly, is a tad overused by now.

I agree completely. I'd like for it to be the same font as the writing on the overworld signs and things. However, I don't know how to go about editing the font. I found the file where the font is stored, but it's stored in a weird way... D:
