I couldn't find this incredibly important topic in the forums! I guess I will start here.
This is my commonly known test map for my project Eternal Chronos. We are starting to make 90% custom tiles, sprites etc. We have not started with the characters (that's why we're using a RTP character there). We got lots of ideas and goals for this game. Even the battle system is being made to be custom. Almost everything custom and unique.
For now we're working on eyecandies for the game, to make it
look unique.
I am also working on the early stages of the battle system. It is side-view based, but we're trying to put extra unique features as we advance. I will later present some more screenies.
