The quality of the graphics or sound for that matter have never really been in question. Its the gameplay. Level design and balance leave alot to be desired. there is no question that making and releasing a game as watermelon did is a major undertaking and takes skill. Kudo's to them for seeing it through. However its not a free game. Criticizing a free game is low brow considering, well, its free. Pier Solar is not free and thus will draw criticism from those who paid for it. Thats how it works.

I agree with Joe actually. That combination of HD backgrounds and 16-bit sprites looks really nice, but I do feel like the backgrounds could look much better. Those trees in particular are bothering me.

I think he was being sarcastic...

If he was I agree with his sarcasm then. I like crisp chunky sprites.

Crisp chunky sprites look goofy on top of high res backdrops.   It also looks lazy.

I'd rather it to super smoothed out sprites that don't stick out too well from the background personally.

   Did you use KPT Bryce for the backgrounds?

If they can't do super high def hand drawn sprites that contrast the background, they have no business doing an HD game, then.

nah geise, it's just a photo I found on google image search. I had to edit the humans out of it though.

No seriously... MS hi-def will look something more like this:



and I'm not content to just porting the same old game with new graphics... the game itself is about 20x bigger than the original... new story aspects, WAY larger world map, new towns, new items, new monsters, new magic spells... you name it and I've probably added it.
