Final Fantasy Friendship Cutie Map Cutscene

[Happy Heart 323]

A rather simple cutscene using rather simple tilesets. The water tileset was the closest thing I could get for a mystical round table. Plus the height of the chair tiles is all wrong! But it's what I could use for now.

No offense intended, but you are eventually going to need some better art and tilesets for this game. The basic ones that come with RPG Maker (any version, really) are of pretty limited utility.

Even a palette swapped version of the castle tiles with blue carpets and different floor colors would be an improvement when you have two "castle" locations that need to be distinct.

 

You don't need really high quality art, it just needs to look half-way decent and to be recognizable.

E.g.

Don't I know it? I'm just not that artistically gifted like many here on the forums, on Derpi or on Deviantart. I pretty much have given up on making vector art myself because, well, I just ain't no good.

Sorry.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad or anything. I just find RPG Maker's default tilesets a bit limited, personally.

You really don't need to be talented/gifted to create art, it just makes it that little bit easier and more natural. It does however take a lot of practice to get better.

This particular context doesn't require vector art (which specifically means an image that built up elements that can be mathematically defined --- lines, circles, curves, polygons). I can see how working that way might help some people though. I.e. you can work at a scale you're comfortable with and make something you'll be able to scale uniformly.

 

The piece I posted above is just a quick sketch I made in Paint.NET (has layers, transparency, and some basic transformation options, which is a big step up from ms paint).

It mostly just a couple of filled ovals and a little scribbling using a screen cap of the show for reference.
