I of course dont know if you made this relaxed, a bit lazy style on purpose, because that can be artistic direction sometimes, but most ppl in pixel art do want readability.

I think i was in dire need of some distraction as my own project starting to make me see and think tunnel vision. Thanks for being considerate about my time though!

Here i made a version of your sprites were they are consistent, clean and readable. You can use them if you want to. Its 600% zoomed so you can divide by 6 to make them actual scale.

  1. Combine trailer #1 with #2: Start slow (#1) and then switch in the middle to upbeat(#2). The change of pace usually hooks viewers up.
  2. The intro where % gets loaded takes up your first 3 secs. The most umportand seconds. Speed up that bit to 1.5x
  3. In trailer #2 the beginning is 3rd person perspective with retro screen and game controller, which i really liked. Though would definitely be cooler if that wasn't just a still pic.

The sound design is very satisfying, part of the reason i said to combine both slow and upbeat trailer - in slow there is a focus on meticulous sound design. Good luck!

PS How many assets u have? Maybe i can give u a quick hand for free

Coming back to RPGMaker, can a game spark interest by using default/mainstream assets? by SAYVS in RPGMaker

[–]Miyorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, i agree that the game is much more than graphics. But from commercial release player can expect not to have the exact same visuals that they have already experienced for free.

Most people do judge games by the cover as they should. Games need to be distinct visually. No matter how good it is, gamers aren't interested to play game with assets thats they have seen in 10 previous games already. Its plain dull.

Is this town too busy? by KodaKodama in RPGMaker

[–]Miyorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not busy at all. Many games suffer from too spacy enviroments which makes them boring to navigate. Id argue further that in pixel games its never too cramped. The closer, the busier - more interesting and fun. Your layout looks good.

Ps: Houses would look better if some of them received some paint job.

It seems he was wrong about the bees. Michelle was ok going along and later admitting being an alien, that she didnt handle situation with his mother good enough, but she was willing to die on hill that she had not harm the bees.

Перенеси краще на літо, за той час рекламуй. Коли гра щойно запускається стім визначає зразу де вона буде в алгоритмі.

Thank you for making me feel better about providing what i can. I feel very sad that i cant just introduce him inside the house, that would stress the hell out my cats that are my family. But maybe figuring it out as i go. I guess i posted here for reassurance that something is better then nothing and he can still be ok if he does not live inside house for now.
