Going back and improving

Small Wintertwined Update

I'll most likely be replacing the "on hiatus" status back to "in development" soon.

I've been having a much better time working on the game lately, going back redoing some of my oldest sprite works to better suit my current skill level.

I recently completely redid the main menu:


The original for comparison:


It's fun to look back at some of my older art and go "wonder if it'd look different if I did it a few years later."

Especially with this piece, since it was the first landscape I ever did. There's just a lot that bothers me about it, mostly the inconsistent pixel size and the slightly dubious perspective... I knew I had to change it.

I'm also going to attempt to add some more options (like a toggle for the talking bleeps sound effect, improved pixel perfect display and more)

The font has changed as well to a more pixel-like style, though getting it to look even slightly okay-ish is a nightmare. (MV is NOT good with fonts)

Well, that's about it for now, see yall next update!

Actually I think the first picture is better, although its pixel size is not consistent, but it is still much better than the second picture. The sun could actually be smaller, and that's fine.
I might be completely misreading your comment, but the first picture is the improved version, with the bigger sun.

The improved version is fine, the first image I specified refers to the improved version, of course the pixel size is inconsistent I didn't see it from the original image, I thought you meant the first image, so I hope it stays. As for the sun, I think the smaller shaped version would look good too, either way.
Ah gotcha! Sorry I got a little confused ^^,
Woooow! Your pixel art improved so much! I love the new title screen, keep up the good work!!
