HM-style pixel art Options

[Nurse Fin]

Well, I'm no expert spriter or anything, but it's kind of fun (yet tedious... go figure). I know a lot of people have attempted to make their own HM games with little luck. I'm only really able to program stuff like a cooking system, advanced social system, calendar, mining system... but the actual farming has me stuck. Oh well. :P At least I can make graphics, too. If I ever get around to making a full working test bed I might want to make a fan game with original characters (not ToT/AP chars, I just used them for testing purposes) and stuff like that. :D Maybe... someday.

I've only made a few floor and wall tiles so far, no furniture or anything, and I've only finished a standard female walking template. But I made all this in about 6 hours, which isn't too bad :D

Yeah, it's super complicated.

I just figured out how to put together half of the cooking system (the part where you put in your ingredients and it spits out a dish :P), which is nice, because it had me stumped for nearly a week, slowing down most of the progress. Now I have to figure out how to build the recipe shortcut list. -sigh-

I don't know if it's laziness on my part or an opportunity to make deeper characters, but I've lowered the marriage candidate count to 8 for now (4 bachelors, 4 bachelorettes), unless I'm suddenly filled with new ideas.

Bachelorettes: Mayor's daughter, blacksmith girl, seed shop girl, tailor shop girl
Bachelors: Musician, Library/town hall boy, Rancher's nephew, Innkeep's son

Businesses so far: Animal Ranch, Seed Shop, Blacksmith, Inn/Cafe, Bar, Hair Salon, Tailor Shop, General Store, Clinic, Library, Fishing Company
