Okay one last update for now... hopefully i'll have something new shortly. I tried to take everyone's feedback into consideration where I could...

Great feedback thanks! I hope to post a new version soon, hopefully addressing some of your comments.

Here's a newer version, a little more polished...

The tree actually has several states of growth, and there is even one with a birds nest on it... I'm just showing one of the stages here.

There will also be a low table in the room, but that isn't ready yet.



Thanks for everyone's advice and honest criticism... it's really helpful to hear honest opinions.

It's about a simpleton scientists apprentice (Igor-type) named Rogi who gets tasked with his masters duties when his master becomes too incapacitated to do it himself.

Now with more detail..... any other recommendations?

This was done in flash... although photoshop is an option, flash is really flexible for this purpose and extremely quick.

What I'm sort of thinking is a really loose style such as what's seen in castle crashers:



Not quite there yet though... but I think it might be doable. Dunno. I just know that I can't focus too hard on making every room a photo-real masterpiece, as that would hinder development to a crawl.

Another pass....



Please give any feedback. I'm really looking to see if this is a viable style, not just to get the job done, but can it be a somewhat pleasing appearance. It's hard to tell for me, i'm too close to it right now... but is the style too simplistic? For example, I find myself disliking things drawn in M.S. Paint stylistically, and want to know if this gives the same feeling to others.

We're trying to define a style that will enable us to knock out a lot of artwork quickly, and yet still be appealing to play in...

Here is an example of a room... please let me know any thoughts on it, and whether it would be appealing to play in.

Thanks!
