After a loooong time of procrastinating, the 48 Hour Contest and working on Moogle's Scary Game 3 graphics, I've finally become motivated to continue working on Requiem by first getting rid of some crappy graphics that I dislike. Starting with the first village, January:

Here you see a before and after. I know the ground seems a lot more plain, but the over all look is much better than the original. Plus, the original was a fixed screen while the new one isn't (I had to remove a lot of little unimportant details on the housing just to fit the tiles into one tileset). Anyhoo, I'll be sure to post up any further updates (and chances of a demo are looking good for december)

Wow. They look a lot sexier (though less round, which is kinda diappointing). They actually also look "life sized", which is something most Super-Deformed style RPGS never do ever.

STOP "FIXING" THE GRAPHICS AND MAKE THE ACTUAL GAME SILLY. Raspberry!

~~Multitasking isn't multitasking without the tangy zip of Miracle Whip!~~ Er.

Shadow's got a point, though. I want to hear about the game, too, not just see a (pretty, mesmerizing, can't tear my eyes away) fading old->new screen. Shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're multitasking like you've said/implied/otherword. Raspberry!

Even though they lose a lot of 3-D quality, I think the new style fits a lot better. Very nice.

It's still beyond good Big grin

I agree with the others, will we see the game? I really want to see something Raspberry!

In the "After" he looks like he has been mini'd or placed in a village of giants. ^_^

Both are good in their own way, but I especially like the "before" one. Are you making the areas screen by screen? It looks as if in both you used up nearly all of the blocks (or at least 3/4ths of them)

Either way, great art there. Looking forward to seeing more.

I think it looks pretty awesome, I'm prefering the latter better even though for once someone has made the enviroment on a larger scale compared to the heros rather smaller scaled like normal.
