Kirroha: ...Now that you mention it, I'm hoping the same XD It'd be awesome if she was the NPC turned PC, XD

I can't wait 'till the 21st, but I guess I'll have to. DX

Who? Willette or Nox?

Is Wilette someone important, I wonder. She suddenly disappeared from Moo Hatchery and at her house her family are concerned too... Hmm...

look at the background is Dire Woods from TDP. looks great:* can't wait to give it a try

The Dire woods look good!

YAY, finally a date!

And just my luck that the computer I'm using got a virus and now the sound doesn't work. Well, I guess I could play the game without sound . . .

@esme: but you'll miss all the good music D:

I don't want to be negative, but IMHO those treetops really does look funny. They almost look like frozen lakes/jelly pond/blue slime sitting on top of tree trunks

I was just wondering, how many more chapters there's gonna be in the Orbs of Magic Series after The Darkthrop Prophecy?

The Darkthrop Prophecy will be the last one. The next Aveyond after that will be a completely different story.

d_a - to me, it looks like a canopy of leaves, where the outer ones are all icy.

@d_a: I'm pretty sure that these trees are the same tileset used in Faiara in GoN with alterations around the edges. That's why it looks so strange. I think that the green part should have been made icier-looking, but hey, at least it's a new look for our Aveyond-ice-areas. *shrug*

About the trees: It's really hard to make tilesets and stuff for RPG Maker. Well, maybe not /really/ hard... But I admire the fact that so many of the tilesets for the maps and stuff are originals to Aveyond and not premade for the program RMXP. ^^

Could've chosen something looking less watery; maybe just recolour regular leaf tilesets white/blue? Unless it IS meant to be ice patches on trees.

I totally sound like there's no pleasing me

Oh those were trees? Completely missed that >.>

I thought they were weird buildings.

@d_a

I think it's supposed to be icicles on the trees.

@Mopiece: No, the crystal-like edges are awesome. what I have problems with is the centre parts that totally look like sludge or water.

@d_a

OOhh. To me it looks like she was trying to make the trees look reflected in the water some.

I think that the part of the trees that looks like sludge/water was used (a) because that's the color of the original tileset, (b) the greenness kind of makes the trees more tree-like, once you figure it out, and (c) the green allows for a very different atmosphere than that of the rest of the snowy areas that we have visited in AV.

It's not the colour that is the problem. It's the TEXTURE. It's so glossy and smooth and not tree-like at all. Still, it probably won't be too big of a deal when we get to play. We'll probably be too busy walking around.

Well, when you examine it closely it does have little dots of the lighter color green that is next to the icicles. I do see what you mean, however. If I had not immediately connected these trees to the Faiara trees (which it took some time for me to realize were trees.... XD) then I probably would not have realized what there were.

Also! I knew NOX was going to be a playable character!!! She looks so much like Uma it's startling. I mean, they have the exact same eye color. Creepy...
