Sorry if you want pictures of what my town is currently like. I might post them later but...
Okay basically here's what I want my town to look like. I want it to look kind of rural and abandoned, a quiet, nature-filled overgrown forest with run-down old houses. The kind you might find fairies living in. Like something out of a fantasy.
This is also the reason I don't have paths in my town, I'm trying not to keep the man-made elements at a minimal. (Aside from buildings, which are of course, mandatory.)
So, I tried planting trees everywhere to get the "overgrown" look, but it didn't work. It just looks crowded and cheesy now. Everything clashes.
You see, the problem is that the trees in this game are tiny and NONE of the houses look like run-down wood with ivy and vines taking over the exterior.
So, does anyone have any ways to make this idea work? Maybe I should add tree stumps? Or should I give up on this theme?
If so, perhaps give me a new idea or theme for my town. I'm open for suggestions. Maybe I'll just take advantage of the cheesy graphics and make it a cute, whimsical little town instead...
