I'm getting better at game dev and it's ruining everything

I think that's fairly normal, commercial projects go through a lot of iterations as well. I know with my project by the time I got to the end I'd gotten more familiar with mapping (I was a little rusty) and my second town looked a lot tighter than the first one. I ended up going back and changing a few details, but overall not much. It's one of those things I figured that I'm more likely to notice than the player anyway. You're always more critical of your own work than others.

Gameplay Video

Ok I'll try a fade for that. If nothing else my project can boast incredibly smooth door animations. :P

Gameplay Video

Yeah I have done nothing combat wise so that expectedly rough. I'll try the fade out for screen changes, you're talking about when entering and leaving houses right? Cause theres also a visible tint change between morning and noon that I'm trying to soften.

Geeky Technical Blog - Shit Malfunctioning

Aww... That's sweet. I actually solved this issue by just coding an ingame clock using incrementing variables. But I'll store this away for future use if I ever want to use the prebuilt timer again.

But really, thank you.

Timers Are Crap

Heh no. Blinx the Time Cat this is not. Although I'm a total sucker for time traveling story lines (gotta love Chrono Trigger and Dragon Warrior 7) the mechanic wouldn't be appropriate for my game. I actually plan on doing away with traditional xp and levels. Instead you have to purchase training at a sort of Adventurers college and I needed a clock system to demonstrate a passage of time. Eventually I'll expand it into seasons as well.

Character Art - The Process

PentagonBuddy: I understand what you're saying about the eyes, but I'm really happy with the girls and will leave them be for now. The blonde dude, I think I'll just have to scrap and start over. This time I'll draw custom eyes (can only edit the stock eyes so often before everyone starts to look the same anyway), and maybe try different eyebrows. He also looks a little doughy to me, and that's just not working for a main character option.
