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

Yes, once the game is finished I'd like to have it available for download.

As for the story, my friend joked that it's like a marriage between Katamari Damacy and Super Mario RPG. It'll probably be based around putting stars back in the sky, or something like that... probably unlocked through series of small events with the characters. I really liked collecting wishes for the purple bell in AP, which is where the idea first came from. But I don't want that to be the main focus of the game; I'm hoping for a lot of random events too (especially to make up for the simplified farming).

I haven't decided the exact number of save files yet, but there will be at least 4.
