WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

Questions will pretty much be the main mechanic of my game, and there won't be battles unless I interlace them with puzzles.
I tried to make it look pretty\creepy\asthetically pleasing but I DEFINITELY need some feedback or suggestions. Of course it will be accompanied with creepy music and then knowledge that shit is going down while you nonchalantly add another question and are about to be thrown right in the middle of it.

Even though I can't really imagine what this is gonna be about, I already think it's cool ^^ (maybe because I'm thinking of Catherine now)

For the graphics though you might want to look at comics or mangas to see how to create different moods and atmospheres. This screenshot just looks like Vivi without his coat and hat on and paint splats.
The font's style is fine but maybe could be made a bit more readable.

1. It's basically asking either deep personal or story-oriented question, even some questions that can't be answered! I'm glad you think it looks cool. Later, once you gain sufficent information, you answer it out of 2-4 possible answers that determine the outcome of the story.

2. Yeah, I knew it had some issues with atmosphere which is the main reason I posted it. I thank you for your suggestion. Though, could you give a few good examples? (Oh, and that was blue blood but I should probably make it red if I want to make it a little more obvious what it is, huh?

3. Dammit, Vivi, you're awesome but you need to stay out of my game...yeah, I think I went a little Vivish there too, but it's at the bottom of my to do list.
4. I'll see what I can do with the font, and thanks again.

@Gourd_Clae: I'm no expert at drawing atmosphere but if you take a look at horror animes or mangas and observe the shots/images' contents, the lighting, the background objects and colors, the zoom ins/outs, the facial expressions, etc. you might understand how to set a specific atmosphere in your own drawings.

The Hellsing Ultimate OVAs (and Hellsing mangas) nail that. Do a google image search and you should find great examples to look at. This image for instance: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AZ3u2Estsp8/Tc3gTGfS2XI/AAAAAAAAAFI/1fxUblxlGbA/s1600/hellsing_v02_c06-12.jpg
This guy's a monster slaying priest. There might be several meanings to every aspect of this image, but one that obviously contributes to the atmosphere is the lit eye and smile amid the shadowed face: it conveys that this man is evil and has a predator-like behavior. How would you feel if you found yourself in front of this man? Feelings conveyed by the image could be fear of being attacked, panic or awe.

Done, btw.

I'm starting up a small story centric project with minimal resource requirements to help me get back into maker use. I almost can't believe how much slower I've become, and how hard it is for me to make perfect sense of my own event code (even when properly commented), after a short three month hiatus!

You seem quite forgiving towards it all, which not everyone seem to be.
NicoB stopped his 'Let's Play' as it is now because it seems too hard.

The game is not supposed to be easy, hence the small death penalty.
But that many Game Overs was not intended unless you're aiming for it.

The soldiers' vision is understandable unfair as almost as soon as you see a soldier, they will see you as well. But the Alert mode I have my doubts about changing. The whole point is to avoid it and if you run through a few rooms in panic meant to be induced, you might shake the enemy and hide. Guaranteed hiding spots might remove that feeling.

Think I fixed this new feature on all soldiers, but it seems like I've created a new problem. Let's re-modify all soldiers AGAIN!

Goooood, gooood. B)

Oh, uhhh... what am I doing
um drawing things I guess? FINALLY BUSTED OUT PS TO PAINT even though I've been dying to paint for ages. Just hadn't actually taken the time to do it til now OTL

Anything not RTP is made by me and is going to be in my game. It's a lot easier to just draw right ove everything so I don't have tile issues. What do you think? I'm having perspective problems with my slanted wall--I'll post a screenshot demonstrating this soon.

EDIT: Actually, I won't until my problem is solved.

MUTHAFUCKIN' TIIIIILES~

Anyone have any feedback for me? It's my first time attempting a cliff face. OTL
