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

I don't have too much to update with, graphic-wise... I've been pretty busy putting together all the different recipes, which is fairly time-consuming considering that there's a couple hundred of them, some of which having a large variety of possible combinations >.>; But I have to get all of those things out of the way before I can get to the more fun stuff.

(it's tinted to morning light, so that's why the colors might look really different)

I fixed the grass tile by changing the palette and reducing the number of colors to 3. I think it looks a lot better now; a lot softer and not so bumpy. Sand, surprisingly enough, is ridiculously hard to make, and still have it look like sand -_-; So I just went with a 2-color palette; I think that looks best. I also made a tile for bushes... after I clean that up and make one for pasture grass, I'm done with my nature floors! Yay! Not including mine graphics... or the seasonal variations, but seasonal variations are pretty easy to make.

There are still a lot of man-made kinds of tiles I have to do, though. A few more fences, boardwalk, brick road, and so on... then there are things like walls/roofs, and cliffs. And objects. Lots of objects. And indoor tilesets. Heh.

Oh, and I made the sprite for Blacksmith Girl. Still have to finish the templates for dudes and kids, though.
