And seriously, get rid of those barrels. Just seeing them in there frustrates the hell out of me.

Because they look so out of place?
lol, dont worry about the barrels, I think I'll just make the standard wooden barrels, and wooden crates too ofcourse :D
been working on a hay roof:

this mockup is a little old and it has improved a bit since then.. I need to make some shadows that work with the roof properly..

I've been looking at some diferent topdown games for reference, mostly GBC star ocean.

I think you should use a wholly diferent range of lightness for your vertical planes, that really really makes the diference.

There's no way you'll ever confuse a wall with a floor if the wall is 20 steps darker in every tone

To be honest, I don't think it's possible to confuse .TakaM's walls with the ground as they are now...

The main problem I have with the latest tiles is that the lightsource appears lost on the roof.  the bottom left of picture does not seem to apply to the hay, which is roughly bottom. 
Back from hiatus, just remembered how excellent this community is at forming technique in a fledgeling artist of any kind.
