Hi there! This is my first post here, hope you like the project! any feedback is appreciated!
Hunter's Tale is (will be) an old fashioned action RPG in pixelart settled in a world filled with strange looking creatures. Our challenge was to have a sidescrolling game that would have focused on tactical fights and exploration: using depth allowed us (and the player) to move freely around the environment, and areas are designed to contain also hidden areas and paths. The athmosphere was important too: this is why we decided to have a pixelart that was supposed to look more like a sort of concept art drawed with pixels, and the music won't be "retro" too. A test can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdlv19pMvtU more info here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=295749938 https://www.facebook.com/hunterstale these are gifs from the village

| Looking good! I think that your artwork is frequently messy, and your animation (namely the blacksmith) is a little too jagged and jumpy, but you've drawn with some heart and a lOT of effort. My advice would be to go back and lessen the mess, and clean up your animations. Maybe focus on the dragon? It's well designed and nicely animated, but it's really janky and uncleaned. It sets a good standard already, but it still needs more work. |

This looks quite nice. I am digging the main menu screen (the one with the book), the merchants and the sheep :) |

thanks everyone! Superturnip, I actually "start" as concept artist, the world of animated things is something that I jumped on kinda lately, this is why I think it requires some more work effort. Also, consider this is my second pixelart project, with the first being very small and looked like this

so I'm the first to say I need to work more on it! Thanks again for the feedback! |

Wow, it's really impresive... Congratulations. Just to give some useful feedback, the aspect I like the less (due all respects, because this game looks like an AMAZING one) are the enemies style. I think their aspect (not all of them, but some, like the spider/worm) is a little cheesy, and does not get along well with the rest of the graphics. |

| thanks for the feedback! don't worry I'm usually opened to critics ;) for the monsters, the idea was to have them zelda-esque-ish, this is why they got that look. We'll see if we move the project forward how many monsters there will be and how they will be designed. |
