Howdy folks! Today I require tiling feedback and maybe hints to make it better? A bit of information is needed for this.
In Chiming Bells, the Yetis reside in the Frozen Peaks. Unlike their appearance in Twilight Princess, they have created a habitat for the race. In Chiming Bells, they have become a race who salvage and collect goods and sell them (and gained the title as "Merchants of Hyrule") now I have been on a designers block on how to show this then it hit me. The only proper way in a slightly more evolved Hyrule (remember the steam punk? well the Yetis dont use steam punk as much (But in the Fire Chapter gorons use tons of steam punk!) as other races).
Make a Hyrule frozen version of a shopping mall. So I set around going into the town I live in looking at the shopping malls (The older ones not the newer ones) and tiled my idea of the shopping mall.
Now the idea of a shopping mall in Zelda is a bit contreversial in due to it being a modern day idea but I felt I made it work. Anyway, I'd like to hear some feedback in regards to the tiling (it's not finished. proof of such is that two shops haven't been tiled to basics yet.)
Now what about the red stuff and the images circled in red? That's what the shop is and what it sells. The letters relate to the shop)
ShopsA - Fairy Queen's Tunic Store
B - Miyamoto's Design Shop
C - ???'s Shop (Secretly Vaati)
D - Shara's Bottle Shop
E - Smith's Shield Shop
F - Gora's Coal Shop
G - Icali's Mechanics Store (Part of the story)
H - Empty Store (For Sale in the game. Maybe?
)
I - Bug Catcher's Pet Shop
J - Oaku's Bolt Bazaar
K - Grandma's Potion Branch
L - Marco's Bomb Shop
M - Old Woman's Potion Shop (Nothing sellable as you don't have license. Allusion
)
N - Iceberg Cafe
I'd also love to hear suggestions for shops! They don't have to sell stuff to the player (in fact I'd like this more) (and maybe someway to get the Chain Chomp allusion across?)
Things Left to Add-Shop signs and features so you can tell which shop is which (hence the windows on near most of the doors)
-Lanterns so you can do midnight shopping
-Plant features
-Cafe stuff
-The other two shops
How does the Frozen Mall help in Chiming BellsAs you complete sidequests, more of the stores become open. Someone of them don't sell items however the ones that do. Well think of it as a Malo Mart turned into a Malo Mall. Ridiculously low prices on stuff!
