yeah mapping is really tricky and it's really cool that you're looking at real life examples for inspiration!! i think you're really getting a sense of depth with the third screencap!! nice work!

thanks!! c: i'm no architect by any stretch of the imagination, but i spend a lot of time staring at floor plans of temples and cathedrals and living spaces for my major, so that's been helpful. :o i'm also really poring over examples of successful map work done by much more experienced game devs, and it's super inspiring to see the amazing things people have created!! there's a lot of gigantic map critique threads on the rpgmaker forums and that's been so enlightening omg.
