N426's Mediocre Sprite Works and General Bad Ideas

Commissions? Kind of. I’m more than happy to help you or anyone on improving their own mapping abilities/design work. Feel free to DM me. All I’d ask in return, is any sort of financial compensation anyone would be willing to give, is instead given to a charity or someone who needs it. And how would I know if you do? No idea, but I’ll leave that on your conscience if you choose not to and ask for my help anyway.

I feel like with mapping, there’s only so many ways you can adequately create a final product, but there are many different ways to get there. Now, I don’t care if you go and recreate any of my maps for yourself on your own accord, because that will at least help you familiarize yourself with the process, and perhaps better yet, find your own way of doing so. Odds are, you’ll find your own preferences to create, and that should be the real goal. Mapping Most of this stuff isn’t too difficult; like most things, it just takes practice, and a little patience.

All that being said, the tileset I used to create most of these maps that I won’t shut up about is the updated Stronghold tileset made by Zoramine, myself, and Flasuban, which can be found here: Updated Stronghold Tileset

One small thing to note is that I currently do not have the fences in that data yet, but I do plan on cleanly adding them for a public release in the nier future (I took out some other tiles to add them in my version). While you won’t immediately find all of the tiles I used available, everything can be created using the bits and pieces of the tilemap data. Get creative.

TL;DR: Better analogy: Give a man a fish, and you’ll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for a lifetime. something something it’s the journey, not the destination, but I’ll help ya on that journey.
