"Papers, Please"

Correct! *Apply approved stamp on Atavismus' passport*

BlindRabbit was Unbound by my Deception and had an Epiphany That is indeed Rosa's cameo in that game. Your turn!

Yeah 2016 has been hard and I got that same feel of disappointment towards humanity and a lot of things overall... But It warms the heart to hear (well, read actually) something like that and to know there's people who still care about each others and share good vibrations

Much love to you and to this wonderful community

The Shivah?

[Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons]

Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons?

Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons it is!
Amazing game, sad but poetic

The Whispered World?

Nop! Could be though

I have no idea about the game, but I must wonder where the heck that well draws its water from, considering the geography...

Imagination (\o/)

My very first exterior scene, to train/try on one-point perspective drawing, colorizing and exterior background, but I plan to use it in-game:

Thanks!
I took time to remember where I've seen this, but my brother used to played it on our first computer

Edit: Whoops Thanks for the info Amayirot

[the title is somewhere in the image]

Ah, sorry about that, meant to upload another image yesterday evening already but completely forgot.
Was available for most home computers in the late 80's, the title is somewhere in the image

Dragon with a lantern 2: sword & jester on crates?

That would be Black Lamp

Oh damn then. But it looked exactly like Clockwork Empires... Hey! Did they rip the graphics or something?!

Gotta admit it's quite familiar. Maybe they got inspired by Stronghold, but it's hard to make an original strategy game graphically-wise

[Stronghold]

Stronghold?

It is Stronghold!
Really good medieval strategy game, probably my favorite

[Clockwork Empires]

Recognized it straight away from that second screenie! (Which doesn't happen very often so I'm pretty stoked! )

It's Clockwork Empires!

(I watched Mike and Ryan play it on Cinemassacre a while back. Very weird survival/resource managment game: The genre is steampunk but also set in the world of the Lovecraft mythos. What were they smoking?!)

Hehe sorry Mandle, but it is not!
I also watched them played it. Yeah, what were they thinking? :p

Another screenshot:

Empire Earth?

Nop

Here's another (piece of ) screen:

Age of Empires 2?

Nah, but I was sure someone would brought it
You are really close though

[International Ninja Rabbits]

The screenshot reminded me of a game I saw on the C64 once (so I figured it might be a port). So I looked up C64 and Rabbits, and somehow despite this clearly NOT being a C64 game, I found a screenshot of this game.

Anyway, the answer is International Ninja Rabbits.
But I don't feel right in taking this turn, so someone else can have it.

Ok I'll take it if it makes you feel better

Very nice progress!

The next step would be to look out for tangents. For example, the left edge of dresser seems to merge with the frame of the wardrobe. And the second wall panel from the right looks as if it is directly facing the viewer.
By slightly moving or resizing the dresser, you could avoid these problems.

Have a look here: http://emptyeasel.com/2008/11/18/avoiding-tangents-9-visual-blunders-every-artist-should-watch-out-for/, especially 7. Stolen edge and 9. Skimmed edge.

Thanks! And thanks for the advices, I didn't know someone had referenced theses
Yeah I wondered what looked a little "off" about it...

I tried to correct it somehow:

Thanks Snarky, that's some precious advices you gave me here! Great examples too.
Yeah I haven't noticed that indeed, about the Wall/Floor ratio

I tried again, but there's still way too much floor and now I'm struggling with the colors (lost cause here )

With some objects (supposed to be a radio in foreground):

Yay

Wonder if the AGS community know about this game:

Thanks again to all for your feedback, It really helps me to envisage things and I'm considering this a lot
Haven't been able to work on my projects so far because I'm doing some testing for another AGS game and it takes time...

Anyway, here is what I plan to be my first scene in the game... it is, again, merely a test but do you think it's something I can work from?
I tried to adjust the background's pixel size to my character's (and overall I think it matches a little bit more) and desaturate a little bit the wall in the back to give it more perspective, but I can't really tell if this works:
