Is there any website where we can follow your progress and maybe alpha/beta test the game ?

Keep up the good work !

Nah, I don't have any kind of website, which is why I made this thread to keep you guys posted on news!

This isn't even close to swords and sorcery. Just because that character has the same body doesn't mean I'm ripping him off, that's not even the main character.

The games are in no way the same, so I don't know where you think I'm ripping him off. Everything else is different but the similarity in characters.

It's a WIP of the hometown, so chill your nips, hahaha. :3

You're posting work here for criticism so you can get better, that is the point of this forum.


Since that a WIP of the hometown you should take my criticism into consideration. What I don't like could be what other people don't like.
Mine <---> Yours
If you show us the pixel art before it's in flash under all those NPA effects it'll be easier for us to show edits and generally help.


Most of the edit were on the house and the immediately surrounding area. Palette too!
Placed the new barred windows at the first floor height. In your house there aren't any windows on the first floor. Though if there's only one floor then nobody can look through them, just thought it was a better placement.
You've got a chimney. Let's use it.
Added some simple grass. An ugly rock too.
Threw some edge highlights on ... the edges...
Rocks and mountains and most things in nature that are viewed as grey are more often than not several (usually dull and muted) colors. Besides, adding a little color will help convey moods better. My rocks have a little green, orange or red in them. Makes it a little warmer. If you want to go cold try some blues or purples.

Threw in a ladder and birds for good measure.

I really like what you did with the house and the chimney looks pretty slick too!

The grass doesn't really strike my fancy, but it still looks neat, and thanks for taking the time towards helping me out!

This project almost reminds me of "Fez". Well, the visual aspects. :)

But still looks promising. Hope to hear more on it. Aside from flash, Has your team ever considered putting this on say, the iphone or android?

I disagree with the edit. It tears down the border between simple graphics and complex graphics, but doesn't take it far enough to where it benefits, and makes it just look like mediocre pixel art. I also don't like the highlights on the edges, this is done a lot in isometric art and it doesn't make sense in my opinion. It makes the graphics look like plastic and makes me think of amateur iso art(no offense to anyone who uses this style, it just doesn't appeal to me).

Wow, that's a complement, because Fez is absolutely beautiful! Thanks!  ;D We haven't considered it yet, but I don't think it would transfer that great honestly.

I like what he did, it's another take on a different style. I'm not going to change my art to the way he made it, but I like the few pointers he gave to me, and I was just being respectful. But thanks for ... sticking up for the style I'm using? Hehe  :)
