Any Good?

320x200, I'm having a dilemma. I want my game to be high resolution but it's extremely hard to draw in that quality. What do you all think?

[Matti]

Well, I think it's not bad. But you should use some more colors and add some shading and details. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to use such a high resolution for it would be a waste of available space.

But animations really are a tough thing to do in high res, I know that from my own game..

It's a very crisp, clean look; I like it   If you plan on using this style for your game I don't think there's a need to go to a higher resolution.
However, the perspective looks a bit odd as the horizon as depicted by the converging lines of the cabin doesn't match the horizon of the lake, which makes the lake appear to be on a higher plane than the cabin (with the assumption that the cabin is level).

I like the look of it, but I DO have a couple of issues: The lines on the roof aren't even. The windows look a little bland, nobody just glues panes of glass to a building. The path could be a little more defined. Lastly, there's no real "tone" to the image. It's very neutral. If this is for a horror game, I want it dark. If this is for an action game I want vibrancy. If this is for a mystery game I want thinks to be ominous and detailed so I don't know what objects matter and which don;t until the last second.

There's nothing REALLY wrong with the image the way that it is (with the exception of that odd horizon/lake) but those little things could definately bump up the scene alot.

It's a real good style and a pretty badass look, polish this suck up and you've got a winner.

Hehe, right now it's not the matter of altitude, the lake is actually sloping
So yeah, you need to correct the perspective of the cabin. In my opinion, you should also shorten it a bit, as it seems very stretched out.

The only real problem I see so far is that in that environment you're going to NEED a chimney .  The lake level should also be lowered to below or around the distant bottom of the cabin.  I like it overall and simple colors make for quicker backgrounds!

By the way, reminds me a lot of "Der verschwundene Husky":



But since there is no english translation for the game I guess you haven't played it..

The stylistic shading on the mountains is very nice, but I feel the same attention to detail hasn't been applied to the path/shack.
