Reply With QuoteYup gotcha - taking from just a 2d flat map to what I've decided to call a 2.5D map (a flat (2d) map drawn to give the illusion of something close to 3D).
I know exactly what you mean. I was thinking of that as well. The map started as a "flat" old school map but it has been growing beyond that.Originally Posted by Steel General
I'll also should do something with the statues (the stars) and the altars since their style fit the old school approach more that what the map is turning in to (my turn to say, if that makes sense).

You got it, SG.
Putting the statues/altars to the side for the moment, I need to do something about the trees/garden that run along the sides. Hmmmm...

I wonder if an inner-shadow on the water would help at all?

You might want to add shadows for the trees n such, but then you're starting to get more into that whole realism thing...I like the flat one tho

This temple wasn't working for me so I decided to go back to basics. Here's the 2D version (so far). I made some minor changes.
