[ARTIST FOR HIRE] Anime/visual novel/Chracters/CG
One more subber before I get another game with 200+ subscribers. Just one more. :D
My lazyness in game development.
Flow. That's the word psychologists use when a person becomes completely involved in what they are doing. Ever had one of those moments where you've lost perception of time and just find yourself absorbed at what you're doing? That's flow.
Once you get into it, it is near impossible to get distracted from what's in front of you. Of course, it does require a great deal of mental concentration, but it is a skill that can be learned. Like BM said, gam-mak, or any skill really, is a discipline.
Also, to address the OP, it sounds like you're becoming a little bit obsessed with your game, if you're freaking out over little things. If you waste time trying to align the moons of perfection, you're never going to get that game out. Ever. Spending too much time over the little details can drain you and sap your motivation. It doesn't sound to me like you're lazy, just overwhelmed.
Remember, this is a hobby we do for fun. So have fun with what you're doing. Keep your head down, stay quiet and work on that game. It's what I do. =)

More Tristian stuff.
I just gave up on trying to draw trees from scratch and used a Mack blueprint tree.
Also, those cliffs were a pain to tile properly.
Because this is a regular forest, there's no real ethereal tones or glowing special FX. Players can obtain healing herbs from shrubs indicated by sparkles. Enemies are represented by those willo-wisp things. They will chase you if they catch sight of you, but you can outrun them.
With the battleback to match. Edited and spliced versions of Ace's stuff, then applied a colour tint to match my map tint. Enemies are spliced/edited VX foes which I found on Closet, then re-skinned them.
A desert town.
And the overworld map. Visit-able areas indicated by sparkles.

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!
Sometimes I feel like I'm a terrible person. If I've offended anyone, directly or indirectly, I'm terribly sorry. I don't know what's got into me lately.
Maybe it's a mental thing ( or is ). I'm trying to get rid of all my 'negative energy' and I know I'm not terrible post-wise, but mentally I am. Like if someone posts too much, I'll scream mentally for them to STFU. XD
The Winners of Misaos 2015
Release Something: Gotta Go Fast!!!
More random feedback. I couldn't get around to everyone since I was practically
flooded with notices today. Thanks for the feedback so far. I've already started
tweaking stuff then I'll look at nixing the super-dark outlines.
@Libby: I like the simplicity there; the sprite kind of reminds me of a realistic-sized Minecraft character. XD I'd imagine the low saturation works as well for this pixel-art style. But it's still nice to see fellow gam devs try their hand at custom art now. ^^
@Ocean/Archeia/Pizza: And it's pixel art like yours that inspires me to do better. :D Can't really find a single fault there. Love the vibrancy of the colour palette and that level of detail is just :o.
@Kylalia: Interesting, looking at your sketches. It looks like you do a very rough lineart to get the movement and feel of those battlers ( if that's what they'll become ) but even in those early stages, I can still make out distinct figures.
@Lucy_Fox: Looks like your game will eventually rival Star Stealing Prince in terms of visual eye-candy soon enough. ^^ I just hope there are plenty of nice maps to walk around and explore though.

Misao Soup 2015
Let's hope 2016 will be different. I'm hoping for 0 Tumblr_Misaos this time. Let's hope FF: LoB didn't sweep categories.
