PixFix is a bi-weekly podcast where 3 nerds and a guest come together to discuss the nuances and details of pixel art and game development.

Hey guys,
PixelPileDriver, Yaomon, and me have started doing a pixelart podcast.

Our first episode was on the 2nd, with Ambivorous as guest. Here's the vod if you missed it:

All episodes will be uploaded to youtube on the above mentioned channel! Announcements etc will happen here from now on and also on twitter @pixfixtv

Green surfaces would hurt the overall esthetic a lot. yes, it would provide contrast, but imo its not needed. solid black tiles are good enough a contrast in this case.

The atmosphere is magical, albeit a bit monochromatic. I'd love to see a few slight hue variations in the near foreground plant life, like petals, fireflies or something along those lines.

When it comes to rendering, theres a lot of single pixel lines in your leafes. in still images it works sorta fine, but as soon as you start animating this, especially in parallax, it might jerk around a lot. make sure to test this early before realizing to late that it might not work out for you.

Another slight crit would be that the character doesnt look based in its environment. since it looks so monocromatic, his brown and white doesnt work so well imo. the red is a nice contrast however, and works decent as a style choice.
