It'd be a really cool style if the story was done in a "storybook" format. That makes me think of those old storybooks where the art was drawn and colored like that on purpose.

You can't see those graphics in the demo of my game that's out there somewhere, but you will have to deal with those in the finished version :D
Gotcha!

Really ugly. Sorry to say it, Im not the kind of preschool teacher to happyface stamp anything made from scratch just cus "you made it yourself yay!". This just isnt an attractive style for a full game.

HEY take it easy at least he has taken the time to do i own original style instead of following the rest of you sheep who use the same damn RTP style . Wheres the effort in that. I say before you flap your mouth about people who do there own stuff i would think twice , At least they made the effort to try something.

Relax Ultimoore, there's no reason to get angry; everyone has a right to their own opinion and he just doesn't happen to like the style.

@Midnight: It looks really pixely at the edges, and the black lines between them are also too pixely. Smooth those out so they feel more natural and I think it'd be a good start. Also, I think moving HP over like 4 pixels to the right and MP about 8 or 10, would make it look a bit nicer. Just a thought to try though.

Dang that looks good anaryu, is it supposed to be a real time fighting system? Personally, I would think translucent would be nice, 'cuase those combos seem a little difficult.

Just like my wife you mean. She does the art and coloring. I drew my avatar, but she colored it. ^_^

I prefer it without the windowskin myself but addin a choice sounds like a good idea. In any case, seeing the finished battler for Snowe resulted in the word "WOAH!" echoing throughout my house. It has been fun testing your battle system (especially on the hardest difficulty. It is a real rush). I think people are REALLY going to like it.

Just an idea, but what about having it read the transparency from a variable? That way you could allow the player to choose which style they like.

@Sapphire: That looks great. Ignore Ryanwh, he likes to criticise everything.

Actually Im one of the few people here who encouraged Sapphire to stick with his/her tileset style. So hey, you're wrong. Ignoring critique is a great way to not get any better, so dont spread your counterproductive rhetoric plz.

I don't ignore.
I'll probably give the player the choice to play the game "book" style (with the BS-graphics you just saw and criticized) or to play it as a told story (also with original battlers, but pixeled ones.)

But I think RPGs are mostly for total freaks. And I thought total freaks may like total freak graphics, made by freaks for freaks. And some people proofed me right. But there are others (like you for example, but there are more!) who just don't like it. I can understand that, cause the style isn't really pretty. So, if you are playin my game, you will chose the pixled battlers, but maybe the one or the other freak will chose the handdrawn. And if only one freak out thee choses to play them, then it was worth the work.
In about the next six weeks everybody will show up woth such graphics, believe me :D

Just some random photoshop edits I did over the weekend. Excuse the lame mapping, I was just testing it out.

1. Yes, I'm aware theres blue lines over the trees. I'll fix that a bit later.

2. Yes, I'm aware a trees shadow is messed up and another tree is cut off. I probably made a mistake when condensing all of it into a tileset. :-/
