I've tried making this game in 3D before but found it to tiresome to do 3D design(especially the animations) so I decided to change to 2D as I find sprites allot easier :D   It will have a Tales of Phantasia style battle system(but with a little more freedom of control) and will hopefully be about 15 hours or more of game play. I would like to sell it when its finished but I'm not sure on pricing what sort of price do you think would be good for a 2D RPG? |

| Looks interesting. For pricing, I'd say somewhere in the $7 to $20 range. Probably better at $7 to $13. |
| ||
| Did you do the artwork yourself? |
| ||
| @Sauer Yes all graphics are done by me :D @bill Thanks, I was thinking of between 9 and 12 dollers myself. |
| ||
| Looks good. I would suggest to reduce the contrast/brightness of that grass. It is almost like looking at an optical illusion. Also you need to define the cliff top, cliff wall and ground-level a bit better. At the moment they seem to merge into one. |
| ||
| I agree with the above post, but for the most part I think the graphics look pretty good. They have a unique look to them, as they are not Anime or Retro, which seems to be what most 2D RPG's are using anymore. The house roof looks a little funny too, but I lack the artistic skills to suggest an alternative ;) |

| Thanks, I was thinking of between 9 and 12 dollers myself. I would have a look at Reflexive or BigFishGames and check out the quality of what $6.99 gets you these days.Regarding the graphics - the colours are nauseating and I think the overall standard is quite amateurish. But I do think that's mainly down to the colours and the grass texture which is visibly repetitive. Sort that out, and redo the colouring and it should look 100% better for it. |
| ||
| Yeah the grass is way to bright and has a visable grid which I really have to fix. Im not sure what you mean about the cliff skn3[ac] but I will have a look into it. |
| ||
| well there is no real difference between the top and bottom of the cliff so having a Bottom tiles with some random stones,pebbles or weeds will be good. or Making the Bottom set of Cliff tiles shaded All your trees have a lightsource but there is no indication that the cliff is elevated due to no shadows shading ect |
| ||
| I get you about the cliff, thanks :D I was gunna make shadowed grass tiles for things like the cliffs and house but I wanted to fix my grass first so I did have that in mind. the bottum set of cliff tiles being shaded is a good idea I never thought of that thanks :D |
| ||
| You did the graphics yourself? Thats really weird.. I could swear that you were using a tileset from the web. I downloaded a tonne of them from a web site that was saying they were all PD (I've since learned they are not necessarily) but the trees and the ridgeline graphics look identical... in my memory that is ;) |
| ||
| well some of the tiles should be similer to rpgmaker tiles but anyway the breakdown goes like this I made the cliffs from scratch the trees were made useing rpgmakerxp as a refrence(although they look quite difrent as the light source is the opisite side) the house tiles I made from scratch for the roof tiles and dirt tiles I used rpgmaker 2003 as a refrence and for the grass I used a pixelart tutorial to do them(because I suck at grass) http://www.toolkitzone.com/library.php?doc=438 |

| I think you should continue with your 3d version |
| ||
| I think thats the most encouragment Ive ever had for it :D but for now im gunna stick with 2D at least finish 1 2d rpg before I try and do a 3D one. |
| ||
| I like the 2d version as well. Looks good |
