well maybe iΒ΄m just thinking wrong but
the main hall (with the red carpet)
is four tiles big + the stairs
the other rooms on the same floor are only two tiles big
on both floors that means if each floor is 2 tiles big
the main hall is "6" tiles big considering the stair wont disappear
in a seperated stair cass map
so that means the second floor starts on tile hight 4 and ends on 6
so the main hall 6 tiles big while the rest of the floor is only 2
(but yet again i might just think it trugh falsly)

Not sure I understand hehe. The main hall is twice the height as anywhere else, but that's ok isn't it? Some rooms are taller than others ones, but they can still be connected together.

Okay okay letΒ΄s see if i can discribe it better.
If you have a room that is 4 tiles big
you need a ceiling (the black void thingy) to show the end of the room
allright ?
So if you insert a stair in this room you obviously
mean to show that there is a second level
in other words the house is at least 6 tiles big ( height )
but this is making it confusing
you see stairs dont work like that
they make a "U shape" so youΒ΄re working with a false persepktiv here
in order to have a second floor you need to eather imploment a staircase map that shows the "U shape" or you decrease the size of the hall wall by two so it goes from 4 to 2 so its the same size of the rest of the walls
because otherwise you have a house shaped like this ___/TTT
So its like BIG ROOM stair cases ~~~ strech Small room
(judging by the outdoor tile that is)
* also there is another weirdness going on
you see the overworld tile (outdoor tile) of the acadmy shows that
hall is in front and the left and right room are slightly behind it
but the indoor shows the exact oppisite
hope that helped ^^"

I think I understand...the main floor has a mezzanine floor, like in the hgss pokemon centre ([link] )
The other weirdness you are right! The outdoor doesn't match the indoor completely xD

i didnt knew what mezzaine ment so i googled it and saw a few examples

~~~
well in the end i tryd to help
at least i was able to help you with the outdoor thing

excuse me but i would like to know what does this game have to offer that the other pokemon games don't besides having an army of people online and fighting against real people and custom pokemon/unlicensed pokemon what makes it unique can people build/customize houses can groups of players build city's or villages are there dynamic battle fields were certain moves change the battle field can you effect your area with certain pokemon moves like freeze a river so you can cross/skate to the other side(this can also be used for fun not just to advance)witch could lead to mini games to were if you cant afford the equipment you can use your pokemon moves to create or shape certain things (picture a group of people use earth quake to level the area and rock and karate pokemon to build houses are there certain events like pokemon beauty pageants,race, Olympics,fishing,swimming(more mini games) how indebt is this game the costumize your own character is cool and a pokemon behind you is ok but what does this bring to the table
π: 0 β©: 1
Well the main thing it offers is something no one else has really been able to achieve yet - a fully functioning pokemon mmo. That's our main objective so far.
Secondly, it offers a completely original gigantic region, visiting places you've never visited before, and all new characters.
Thirdly it has over 300 new pokemon, the best of the best gathered from all over dA.
If that's not enough, in the future once the engine is complete we WILL add new features like you mentioned, such as character customization, a housing system, decoration system and loads of other cool features. We can't really focus on those until we've built the basic features up.

hmm interesting and what kind of battles will this game introduce cuz right now its more centered around the fighting system and the story and less on the multiplayer part iv seen multiple DA artist that have their map featured in this game so is it one gigantic region with multiple destinations or a world with different regions and why is there so little in game footage of this game there is literally very little to no footage and is this free to play but has in game things that you can purchase or is it completely free
π: 0 β©: 1
Um well ok, I don't know about multiple dA artists having their maps features, so far there are only two custom regions, mine and someone else who quit.
The idea is of a whole world with different regions.
There's little in-game footage cos we only have a small team working on it, and we don't know how to make good videos.
I tried making a video a while back though if you want to see it. What you have to remember is that it's not a finished game, we are nowhere near completion which is why there's little footage of it, it's still not opened up to the public.
It will be completely free.
π: 0 β©: 1
ah yes i have seen your video but it wasn't very interesting it was just you running tru the bushes and jumping off of ledges what i would love to see is you interacting with other players and having certain activities with them and also battles and how active is this game for six years in development
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah at that time there was like no one on lol. I will make one with more players at some point. Battles are still really simple so it wouldn't be very interesting haha.
The game hasn't been at this stage for 6 years, it has a long history behind it, and it hasn't been open to the public during all that time. This current version has been in development since like Dec 2012 so we're making great progress. As mentioned, it's not overly active because we haven't opened it up to the public yet.

i love this so much for my region i thought of the same idea

Thank you! This is just the school part, if you leave the building and go left there's a dormitory with food place, and to the right will be like a battle gym.

in my imagination the pupils have to wear a special academy jacket and every month is a tournement against rival schools. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah that's how it is in my game mostly, everyone starts out wearing a red uniform, that lets you see clearly who is new to the game. The whole academy is within a walled area, that wont open up until you've gotten your first starter and gone through all the tutorial stuff. I'm not planning on any tournaments with rival schools though.

That's a fantastic idea! It's original and very well done.

Thanks, I try to be original.

I really like the idea to start in an academy
It also looks nice too!

Glad you like it! It made sense to me as it's where you learn how to play the game and such.

Thanks! I struggled with the library but I'm happy how it came out.

not sure why but it feels.. blurry - out of focus you know?
But otherwise it's fairly darn cool
π: 0 β©: 1
I blurred it on purpose haha, protects my tiles from being stolen!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hardly - if you make a website with this game - and have a "image gallery" are you going to blur those images aswell? It's quite silly indeed - and pixel art is quite easy to "repair" so to say
π: 0 β©: 2
You might not be aware but the world of TILED pixel art is far different then most any arts. It might seem silly to blur it, but an unblurred tileset might as well be a photoshop brush pack because its just that easy to take.
In addition, Pixel art is not "easy to repair". You could give a some guy a 200,000 dollar car that needs an oil change, but if he can't do an oil change the value of the car is worthless.

This is honestly to anyone who is the least bit dedicated to stealing htis, not very hard at all, but hey, let's not argue - we both made our points, and neither will change i believe, i just think it's a shame that i cannot enjoy the full experience
π: 0 β©: 0
Pixel art is quite easy to "repair" but not when it's been blurred, you can try it out if you want. I might not be able to protect it always but I'm going to when I can.

These are rather simple - clean looking for the most part, so it shouldnt be much of a problem - I'm not saying you are wrong here -not at all, its your stuff after all - I'm just saying it feels unnecessary and it does take a toll on an otherwise excellent piece of pixel art

amazing job, by the way.
i love your work.

Very cool! I doubt it was on purpose, but I like how the classroom on the right, in the middle of the picture, looks like Bill's experiment from r/b/y. I just think it would be interesting to have a classroom studying what not to do haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
The lab yeah? It wasn't on purpose no, but I see what you mean! xD Maybe once a week Bill would show up there to give a lecture on what not to do!
