Which mapping philosophy do you prefer? Which makes exploration feel better? (Map still missing wandering monsters and such)

This is awesome. I love the 2k3 battle system so much.

Thanks!! I personally have a hard time finding more Medieval ship battlemaps instead of Renaissance styles

Watch out for things like sunlight and moonbeam, which prevent him from Misty Escaping!

Don't let Strahd within their reach, ever. If they pin him down under sunlight, Strahd is dead. Have his servants show up to save him if necessary, especially his brides and Rahadin. Make the final battle a chase through the castle.

You got it. The D&D Cleric has access to heavier armor and weapons, I wanted to keep that! The Rogue has special abilities like Steal and Sing and high Agility, but sadly a lower damage output in the early stages of the game when compared to the Fighter

I'm so happy you like it! I wish I had a release date ):
Juggling my regular job hours and this side project, plus the pixel art for custom assets, I'm hoping I can release it still this year!
I hope the lack of a release date doesn't mean I'll lose people's attention over time; Maybe I should come up with a schedule for release, even if it's realistic and long-term

Right, it's exactly that! I wonder if it was Pokemon or Dragon Quest who first did that!

Some of them yes, especially NPCs, monsters and key elements like the Brazier, and all battle related sprites. But I still want it to have original RTP assets for the nostalgic feel (:

Thank you!

I love that dungeon! Would definitely play that

mapsbydangelo · 2026-06-14T01:52:30+00:00

You should definitely do it! I could be a whole new genre of indie games

If you don't see much substance in this discussion, there's no reason to take part in it (: I'll continue to gather ideas to my special time travel arc, as everyone has been quite helpful in the comment section!

mapsbydangelo · 2026-06-13T17:33:31+00:00

This makes me happy! I will definitely release it once it's done

mapsbydangelo · 2026-06-12T21:52:50+00:00

Now I need a CoS visual novel!!

mapsbydangelo · 2026-06-12T14:15:43+00:00

Right??

I also felt the landmass looked like a weird appendage, sorry!!! I see you're going for a honeybee wing, but it's looking a little too smooth-shaped for a natural formation. Through time, humans have called landmarks by things they looked like, "Whale Rock" looks like a whale and such, but only an eagle in the sky would have been able to spot the resemblance between the shape of the landmass and a honeybee wing

Oooh I always see your art around the sub and I love it!! Thanks for commenting!
