i got a small tileset so far and a few enemies. as you can see it's going to be an action-rpg. the main character sprite has already been redrawn better, i just haven't animated the new version yet.

i'm a bit worried about the size of an RPG and what kind of commitment it's going to take to dedicate the next 3 months of my life to building a virtual world. i'm not a graphical guy, i'm not that good with designing rooms to look pretty or making tilesets. i like to design rooms that will challenge someone (like a puzzle or platform game) so building RPG rooms isn't much fun for me…

i also realize that if the game needs to be large enough to enjoy (even for a few hours) i need to plan ahead and decide how many rooms is this world going to be? even a small number like 8x8 rooms is a lot of work, that's 64 total rooms! and than i have to decide what size is each room? i think i'm going with 800x800 (for now) it's a nice size for a room using this resolution, also the room editor fits in one screen so i don't have to do any scrolling to see everything.

so i have a question for you's, what size are you planning for your RPG?

additional notes:

- tiles are 16x16

- 3 layers are used to make the rooms

- tiles in a standard snes-rpg perspective, not zelda perspective!
