To clarify I didn't mean I was disappointed with the art, the story telling was pretty shoddy from what I could see and the link darchangel posted seems to be full of broken images for me :/

If anything they could make the maps a lot smaller and use the space more efficiently

The art not being detailed is a result of the sizelimit and the quantity of editing necessary to complete a match.

@ Metaru - The image would be a lot easier to edit because we could keep things on separate layers and be able to edit faster, without having to cut, paste and rework parts of the background...

i wonder how using layers and the amount/quality of details could be related.

Art might not be all that, but considering all the editing that goes on with it, it would be very hard to make a great looking scene.

There is one battle that was looking decent enough, but they ended it too soon:

This gave me an idea for a piece of epic proportions, it would be more story driven and would probably take a very long time to complete.

If anyone here would like to do a collab, PM me...It would require that you have a program capable of using layers, because I want to make it with more detailed pixel art...

Yeah agree with Metaru, pretty nice concept, but I would say nothing that great has come from it.

half of the stuff i saw there was p retarded, or it was sprite rips from somewhere esle. if someone got a link to something decent in there, i'd like it to be shared.
