There’s way too much pixels in those houses. 😐
Hi,
It’s the developer of 8-Bit Adventures here =) I’m curious about what you mean?
If you look at standard houses in a game like Final Fantasy 3 (that being the NES original), they use the same number of colours, and are each three tiles high/wide.
With that said, the game is ‘8-Bit inspired’ (as it says in the description) so it wasn’t designed with full NES limitations in mind – just a general affection for the style.
Thanks for your comment!
Cool a Dev! 😀
What I mean it’s that the houses sort of look too “clean” while everything else is more pixelated, per say. It was the first thing that I stand out to me and I’ve found it to be quite distracting. But perhaps that’s just me since it’s been a while since I’ve played those RPGs of yore 😉
Ah, right! Yeah, I can definitely see what you mean. I tried to make every town have a different style of house (e.g. the forest town houses are made out of a natural, tree-like material, the snow town houses are built with bricks, etc.), and I went for a cleaner design for the first town, thinking of a more modern, painted house. Thanks for the critique!
