hehe he is cool, you could get away with a few more frames of animation seeing as he is so small. Is he for a game?

Hey that looks really cool! Where can I download it ;)
I like the style reminds me of a game somone I know started making years ago (and never finished) called blobthing.

(Update)

Took suggestion of onek, and increased the size of the trees..



I'm working on the game engine tomorrow..

Thanks...

*** UPDATED EDITS AND MOCK UP ****

Thanks,

So far the engine works smooth.

Art is decent but not great. You're missing some consistency in visual language, and parts are a bit flat (like the tree).

Also, I think 16x16 is a bit small for a game like this, not because of the art, but because the elements take up so little space on screen and are harder to click. So I'd either use a bit larger sprites, or use them at 2x the resolution/pixel size.

Have you got a good idea of where you want to take the gameplay yet?

Sprite is sweet. I like the color sense onek used in his edit far better as it helps make the player sprite read better. 

Hello All,

I haven't been around much because of work, and I wanted to see if anyone has anymore comments that they could give me..

Thanks

Are any of the mockups you have posted current?

 

The gradient backgrounds for the insides of the tunnels really don't work well, particularly for the larger areas. It looks like you have some rock textures in your tileset right next to the gradients, how do those look? Also you could use the candles to create light differences and break up the color monotony of the tunnels.

I have been working on the graphics for a while and I was looking for new C&C.

Needs some saturation. Not a big fan of everything looking so brown. I like the previous update's colors more :\. Looks good otherwise though.

Remember me a little bit of Terraria, i like it, but the sky could be more blue.

Well I haven't seen King Arthur's Gold until a week ago, and Terraria is okay.. King Arthur's Gold is based around King Arthur's World old SNES game (I own it) :P

I have been playing around with the sky stuff for a while, but could never could find a good match.

I personally prefer the old, more contrasting character sprite and level tiles. I like the visible whites of the eyes, the white beard, and the more defined outline. These are really small sprites to have so much shading, and the little guy gets kind of lost in the background.

Sorry for the double post on this one, but I was excited to show you the redo for the dwarf character.. much better I think now..



Let me know what you all think..

Here is another sample of the game, its just a mockup.. But if you see I have the PIGGY!!

Maybe you should bounce his head a little so it has a more natural walking look. Something like this, maybe? It's a rush job, you can probably do better, but you get the idea.


Edit: Woops, some of the outlines got mixed into the other frames. Might be my settings.

Swing the arms, rotate the hips and shoulders if you can, maybe even the head.

Nice, but why are his arms hanging in the air for 2 frames when the left arm is in front? In the other direction it looks fine.
