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

Okay... I think I'm getting to the point where I have to ask around for volunteer writers now... and I'm not exactly sure where to start since there is SO MUCH to do. I'm going to have to brainstorm about that a little more. Since I really want to keep things as private as possible, I may have to open up a wiki or something @_@

As far as progress goes... aside from making graphics and a few more features to add (finishing item/recipe lists, and some cosmetic additions), the development has pretty much come to a halt. It's getting to the point where I can't really continue on unless the characters are built up, and there are 6 marriage candidates and several townspeople I know I won't be able to write for.

But first I think I'm going to need to actually give this project a name. Up 'til now I've been referring to it as "Not Harvest Moon". There still isn't any strong theme or storyline going on here (if it even needs one), so that's not making it any easier.
