Please be mindful of our layers on the right. If this link is removed, just google it, it's there. (I can't find it on Celianna's website, and the alternate link isn't working, it can be found HERE: ) I will replace this link once I can find a proper one. Ok - Let's get our hands on Celianna's A2 tileset, it should look like this. The second step we need is our foundation, a base that we can build off of. I choose this because it will give us a decent opportunity to see a bunch of various tricks. For this tutorial, we will make a autumn-themed rural area with a house. I will happily take requests for ANY type of map in the future (I prefer medieval themed). So - the first step for making our map is going to be deciding what type of map we want to make.

At the end of the tutorial I will give a short talk regarding everything you need to know about for resources. We all need to be on the same playing field, but be mindful that you should be learning the principles of map development here, the resources are really not the crucial part as you will soon find that you can even use the RTP to make really staggering maps. As I'm truthfully unsure of the rules of secondary distribution, I will provide primary links when possible for any resources used here. Let's right click the 'Background' layer and delete it, then right click and New Layer and let's make a transparent layer. OK, let's click NEW and make a decent sized map, let's do 640x480.

Please notify me of any errors! I will make an advanced tutorial after I finish this one. This is a tutorial for beginners and I will go through the entire process with PAINSTAKING detail. The first part is a step by step (literally) tutorial for generating a parallax map with GIMP and the second part will be learning how to use Yami's Overlay Script to use our new creation.
