I think they look awesome. I like the charset design and the overall style of the art is refreshing.
Thanks. :)
Excuse you? No one, and I mean NO ONE talks to Veronica Taylor Rex like that. You COPIED Earthbound/Mother 3 directly, and started crying about how I think they INVENTED that style. No, they didn't invent it, but they sure made it popular amongst you internetgoers. Also, I know you made everything in that screenshot yourself. I am not impressed. It's EXTREMELY easy to sprite in that style. The colors in that screenshot are bland, as well. I'd like to see some less ugly screenshots of yours, if you wouldn't mind. I simply do not like that picture ONE bit. But hey, maybe you'll get luckier next time, buddy.

I like Saturn Valley so I like how the design of the place looks, you never know he may have been influenced on the design of the Phantasy Star series, they have some funky houses too.
Looks pretty bitchin' to me, keep er' goin! :D

He already admitted to being "influenced" by Mother 3. Also, I like Saturn Valley's houses, but when someone completely rips it off (right down to the shading on the walls), but ends up making it look worse than what they ripped off, I can't help but think it looks unappealing.
Wow, your totally original art style is so refreshing! I've never seen anything like it! Oh, by the way, here's the synonyms of refreshing.
Main Entry: refreshing
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: new; rejuvenating
Synonyms: bracing, cooling, different, energizing, exhilarating, fresh, invigorating, novel, original, restorative, restoring, revitalizing, revivifying, stimulating, thirst-quenching, unique
So, your style of art, according to kentona, is so refreshing that you literally have to rip off the style of a game down to the SHADING ON THE WALLS. That is SO unique.

There are quite a few key differences between the them. The only thing that is similar is the cylinder shape and wall angle, and that's so basic you can't call it ripping off.
Actual Comments:
The angle of the wall being combined with a perfectly flat floor annoys me. Other than that looks good.

The whole picture is a wall and a cylinder shape. He also copied the ladder and the black background. He's just copying a game he likes, though.

Lennon: Gotta go with what J-Man said there. However a little color wouldn't hurt... unless of course there's a reason the room's monochrome, or a stylistic thing?

@OrigI guess it was a stylistic choice, that's how I imagined the room looking, all brown and everything. I feel like it would be weird with more colors.
@J-ManActually the only thing that influenced me was the fact that when I wrote the prologue I made the surface world houses cylindrical.
I don't want to argue... but I must at least share my opinion on your thoughts.
Yeah Veronica that style of shading is how you make it seem more cylindrical. If I were to do the inside of anything round it would look the same, it's how you do it.
Sorry if it's news.
And gee, thanks for saying my work takes no effort, when you don't even have anything to show, and I spend at least 1 - 1.5 hours on each of my chips, getting everything to look and work perfectly.
If I may, here is more of my work, so you can see how much I rip off everything if you'd like. :)
I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, kentona or other admins I don't know of.
Btw I don't even like Earthbound.

Lennon, ignore Veronica! (She's actually trying to piss you off because she's a troll, I think she's been banned, though.) Your stuff is pretty damn awesome, I really like that clean, simplistic style and may use it for a future game.

Ugh, I know. I don't like trolls is all.
@Jakester: Yeah, I'm probably gonna do something a little different for Toy Soldiers though.

Blasphemy!!!
Anyhoo, as I mentioned the cylindar houses do remind me of Phantasy Star 1 for some odd reason, outside and inside. The rest of the stuff looks pretty solid, keep er' goin and a small recommendation: Add just a few more thins to the Cylindar houses, it does look a tad empty, I'd hate to be the people living in those places with just a bed and a closet. Unless you made some biggers versions of em' or something.

Whether you like the way he said it or not, the cylinder house tilesets bear a striking resemblance to the Saturn Valley inners. The real question is: who cares? The level work on the screenshot is fine as far as I'm concerned, and if he wanted to borrow one very simple concept from Mother 2... Well, I guess I don't understand what you're loudly ranting about. Maybe it's a homage? Borrowing a very generic design house design from a game isn't plagiarism.
The spriting style is coherent, clean, and distinctive. When he starts copying exactly intricate levels from commercial games; feel free to make a lot of noise about it.
Critics are who you should be listening closest too, unfortunately; nothing this guy really says bear any substance.

Slight update on teh village.
And I also redid one of my older areas with new chipsets. My beta testers would notice the difference pretty quick. The beginning temple area looks way better now!
and for the sake of distributing, here ya'll go.
Have fun, don't use it all in one game.

The level design work and spriting looks fine to me, I hope you've been brushing up on some of the other areas where you need improvement, however.
