This isn't meant to be an overly obscure question, but I was wondering if anyone familiar with Ultima7 (one of the greatest games of all time, by the by), could possibly estimate how many work-hours it would take to create the artwork that makes up, say, the town you begin in, Trinsic. Here are some screens to refresh the memory: http://www.viridiangames.com/images/U7.png http://natu.txt-nifty.com/natsutan/img/ultima7.jpg The gist of this vague question is that I always found the world depicted in Ultima7 to be really wonderfully detailed and atmospheric -- were one to try to create a world even 1/10th that detailed, would it be dozens, hundreds or thousands of hours of pixel-work? Thanks for even considering such an odd question~ - S |

Holy crap the perspective just brought back my headache. I'm no expert (so basically ignore this post), but i'd say it wasn't as great graphic/pixelart wise as you're making it out to be (although it is very good). However yes, i'm sure it would take ages, and probably had a team of artists. Lol this post is so pointless. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

| I'll second that part about the headache - the perspective is unreal! |

| yeah, that particular projection isn't common, is it...didn't seem to induce as much vertigo when I was 14... |
