Sprite seems stretched because I wanted the screenshots to be the same size. -.-

Alright, so three days so far into the project now. I've made the first two maps and a building to walk into. I need some quest ideas. Something to do within these two areas to get the game started. Basically anything to initiate a first battle.

I was thinking about this. You start out in the first area (screenshot 1). Walk back to the INN (third screenshot) have an NPC there that tells you to gather wood (located on the right in screenshot 2) and maybe have some kind of forest creature fight you. Any opinions/suggestions on this idea?

Whatever you do, don't start with something like a goblin. They're horribly unoriginal.

A suggestion would be a simple, realistic animal like a stray dog or wolf. Or, if you want to advance the story quickly, try some odd creature that nobody's seen. That's cliche too, but it might help get the story going.

By the way, are you using grid snapping?

Yes, the movement is grid based.
