I've been working on my game, (even though I have a busy schedule) and I finally have something worth while to show you. This is the title to my game and a background. This is not for the squeamish, so please cover your eyes.

Seriosly?

Your title screen could use some work.

I like the walk about. That in its self looks interesting.

The grass is nice but the trees could use some work, especially the trunk of the tree, the leaves are appealing though...

Just a hint. Why don't you add bushes and rocks and a stream and patches of dirt and stuff like that? At the moment the forest is looking a little empty.

But hey, it looks interesting. Can't wait to see what it turns out to be. Smokin'

That grass is rather fantastic though...

I took your advice. Just look and see:

Thank you for the constructive criticism. If you have any more ideas, I'd love to read them. Thank you.

Although I think I should of used Image Shack instead of Geo cities.

Oy, the water and bed near it are pretty bad and the tree trunk is just awful. The sprite is still awesome and I can't tell what the green spikes are supposed to be. Those rocks would be better without the grey stripes, too.

I must say that when looking at the above picture - It gives the game character... On closer inspection it seems that you were rushed in finishing the tiles and they are not too apealing.

I still like the grass, the water, rocks, bushes, tree trunks need work - Take a look at purgatory for rocks and bushes and water. Take a look at Dafalos for water and bushes and trees. Just two suggestions, not the only games with nice maptiles to learn from...

Actually, I really like the water (If you were to animate it). It's the grass that looks griddy. Looking closely at the grass, I see you have a dotteds line of blue pixels running across the screen?

I hope that red... sand?... is placeholder only. The flaxes, rocks and tree trunks all look a bit rushed due to a lack of detail and plain shading.

That walkabout about sprite is the most awesome thing ever, though.

..so is that an OHR game?because the walkabout doesn't look like 20x20..or did you use plotscripting?
..anyway,nice work.. Happy

That second picture could still use some work, but it looks 100x better than the first. Try getting rid of the griddiness and the gradient shading. That walkabout looks great.

Title screen needs more work. The sprite looks sweet Cool

Map tiles are okay.
