RPG Maker Forums
Hello all, I'm new to this forum, and seeking some advice regarding Parallax mapping - a mapping style that is new to me, but I'd like to get better before I start a real project with it.
As a reference to others, these are the tools and scripts I'm using to get Parallax mapping to work on RPG Maker VX ace.
I'm currently using Hanzo Overlay script for the Parallax and Overlays.
Yanfly's Parallax locking script - to stop them drifting about.
Yanfly's Region Locking as an alternative way to set the impassibility of a map using Ace's regions instead of invisible tiles.
and GIMP for all the editing and mapping.
---
Now, my actual problem!
I have been fiddling about, making various map (mostly Forests for training purposes) - but I'm finding myself struggling to make certain types of map - such as making a good Parallax Cave, village / Town, or rivers.
I can't seem to find appropriate resources or techniques to make these other map types - which is a serious problem if I plan to adopt Parallax mapping as a primary style.
Is there any advice or guidelines to follow when attempting to make these types of maps or objects as Parallax. Is it simpler to first create the map in RPG Maker, then edit and modify it as a Parallax afterwards?
Any advice on the matter would be much appreciated - thanks!

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
