ANIMUS'S PROFILE

His maps are better than most first timers, and misspellings shouldn't bar people from being able to release something. I do suggest you fix the typos though Shade.

Hey thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the game; there will be more where that came from, by them and by similar artists like them, so perhaps you'll find something new as well.

No game-breaking bugs as far as I could tell; I enjoyed my time with your game. I also downloaded the one without RTP, so I can't really say if it's missing any files. I gave you some feedback on another site, but just to reiterate, try to spice up your battles a bit and make sure the player can dash in large dungeons. Other than that it's a really great first project coming along. I hope to be able to see just where the quests lead our hero in the future.

I agree with Mawk, he meant that you took one half and pasted it to make the second half (mirroring) Your comparison has a lot more contrast (the color choice pops more; contrast tends to be a bit darker in color so the details aren't missed.)

It's still really good though; the pixel work took skill to make, and that much is obvious to see, so Mawk didn't point it out. (because it's good)

I just wanted to let you know what he meant by saying mirroring.
Also wanted to drop by to say that critics can be very valid, even if they are harsh and/or condescending (Mawk was neither of these at least in this post) It's up to you to look at your own work critically to see what the person meant, and if you disagree that's perfectly fine, but don't completely dismiss posts that have helpful info contained within.

Nah actually my name would have either been Animus or Anima, and my next game would take the name I don't use. Anima suited my game much better, so I opted to use Animus as my user since I've grown tired of the names I used to go by on the Internet.

As for writing that's something I like to think I do well, so I'm probably going to solo that aspect, but I'm sure there are a lot of artists out there who wouldn't mind help with writing. When it comes to help with writing in video games I've noticed people usually want help with NPC dialogue. Hopefully though there will be someone who wants more plot development help as that is what people usually base good writing on.
