i need suggestions on making my overworld..in my quest..i was planning on making a second copy of my overworld...and then changing the pallette to a night shade..i'm using the puretileset...anyways..i need suggestions on going about making my overworld..i wanted to have distinct sections, including a town, a graveyard, a valcanoe, a lake/river, a desert, a forest, a hedge maze, a castle, a field, "thunderplains", and more..i was gonna just take each of these areas and make them on different maps/dmaps and then connect them by sidescrolling warps and tile warps but i'm not sure..i think itd be easier and more organized to simply make one overworld on a single map...what do you guys think...any comments, suggestions...i honestly dont really know where to begin creating an overworld, as there are so many possibilities and i have so many things i want to include in my quest...any help would be much appreciated

Well, if you want your player to be able to see the overworld map, it is best to just make one large overworld. You can still use Dmaps to connect them (therefore giving them different map names), and its all contiguous. Just a suggestion. Overworlding is sometimes the hardest thing to do at times. It takes a lot of oversight to do. Good luck, i'm looking forward to what you have to give to the community.

Did you already forget about your group quest? A good way to get ideas is from the people helping you out with the quest.
