Hello all!

I am so sorry if this is asked before. I have looked all over and have not found the answer to my question. I have read a ton of tutorials and watched videos, but it seems I'm just completely clueless because I can't get my map to work!

Basically, I created this map in photoshop:



When I first started making it, I was under the impression I could somehow make the entire image something the characters could walk over, and all I would have to do is specify where they couldn't walk (the walls and etc). It didn't work however, as the background would move around whenever my character walked. I don't know if just making this image a ground layer that my character can walk on is possible. Based on everything I read, it seems like I have to bust these up into layers.

Okay, fine, I can do that! So, I made this layer:



and set it as an overlay image using the overlay [FIXED] script, and then I set the walls and floors as a parallax background. Well, now the floor and walls don't move around under my character when she walks, but now I have the problem that my character is going under all the items, instead of on top or not at all :(  

Again, I'm so sorry if this has been answered. I have a feeling I read the answer several times, but I'm just too dense to understand it. I'm at my wits ends and my brain hurts, if anyone can help me out I would weep tears of happiness!

Thank you!

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
