Just realised that the texture on the box does not make much sense if you think about it for more than a few seconds.
How the wooden planks are put together I mean.

yeah that, particularly with the segmentation on two of the frames, has been making smile from the first post ^^

I know you're like "done" with this (shame I didnt catch it earlier)...but I think I'll make a comment geared to anyone making anything topdown.

I think it's important that the ground tile contains a lot of eye candy in it's pattern, while the walls are all about adding depth to the equation...and if posible those ground tiles one floor above the playing ground should NOT have the same texture as the ground, since they're not playable.

Here's two aproaches to it from Boktai.
an intricate easy to see pattern
and a grass based on a dominant flat color, with variation tiles toward the edges.

I feel like you're in the bad side of a compromise between these two aproaches.

not that this adds anything, but boktai has long deserved a comm crit.

animal crossing's style is love in a bucket but it relies on an organic, meandering design scheme as opposed to this clearly cubic one mad's got going.

I myself and most curious to find out the sum of monkey+star+banana.

boktai had a CC on the old blue pixelation.

Sorry to deviate a bit but has any of the old threads been saved into an archive or were they all lost?

[Kazuya Mochu]

it still looks so blended together! O really think you should take ptoing's sugestions into consideration.

Ill try and work on an edit as soon as I can

Jakten: Everything re-pixelopolis is lost.

as promised:

Since you learned Blender for this, may I ask if you are planning to learn OpenGL by yourself too?

I will not learn OpenGL by myself because I'm working with some independents developers ^__^

Edit on the box!

I will try another ground and wall texture, maybe rocks?

I want to keep a sunlight ambient for the game. That's why the colours turns to yellow and looks "so blended" but I'm waiting your edit

[xenobond]

YES! A monkey. I want to give it a big hug.

What's your thoughts on the bananas? They look like they could use some plumping up.

[ndchristie]

I was about to say the same thing, they could be chubbier.  don't worry about them intersecting each other - it goes overlooked.
