Tales From Windy Meadow - fantasy pixel art Visual Novel

[Tusky]

I like the sky from the first image, and the left building's nearside wall, and that the gateway behind the statue lines up


I like the well, and right building roof from the second image

[Jubal]

See, I quite like the statue not lining up from the second image, but overall I think the first image is better, mainly because of the sky.

Thank you so much for your voices. This last picture had a huge traction on Facebook, where it gathered over a hundred comments pointing out that the "lower" option was better, but I do see your point and there were other voices pointing out that the first picture has its redeeming qualities.

I mentioned about it and some worldbuilding stuff in our third devlog. : )

[Aure]

Old versus new. : )

[Tusky]

Looks a lot better! I like the extra leaf detail and look like there is more depth in the background of the forest floor.

Are you going back though and reworking a lot of you old background art?

[Aure]

Thank you! I'm afraid to even think about it, but it starts looking this way. ; (

[Tusky]

Uh oh!
Well hopefully it will be worth it in the end

New devlog for Tales From Windy Meadow! We introduce the basic concepts related to our character sprites - which are separate from the character portraits.

[Aure]

I must admit, as a person I find no comfort in animal trophies... But the colors of this building - home to the family of hunters who live in Windy Meadow - directly move me, like a place I would love to see in real life.

[Aure]

In our fifth devlog we focused on some of the mistakes that we made during the development. ; ( ;

[Jubal]

Ah, the character name search/replace - I know that one very well, had some issues with it working on LIFE

Also, TWM is in the newsletter again:

Thank you, Jubal! : )

[Aure]

My apologies for being late this time. ^^ We have this nice tavern with two empty, ugly paintings inside... What would you like to see in their place?

[Jubal]

Members of the family would seem the obvious subjects? Unless they have some other significance, like they'd be hanging pictures of a monarch or religious figures or something. Or you could replace it with a more usual tavern beam artefact - a really long tusk from a monster, or some tankards, or something like that.

I  disappeared from social media for about 10 days (I apologize for being quiet on Twitter, Jubal!), but once I returned, we made a lot of  progress. We haven't finished making all of the required graphics yet, but the game itself finally gets close to its final form. In other words - we started filling many of the in-game areas with their inhabitants. : )
