You do what you think will make your quest the best it can be, regardless of how overdone it is or is not.

 

And besides, no one thinks islands are overdone.

 

And even if it were, it's nearly impossible to make an idea in ZC that isn't overdone. So, I repeat: You do what you think will make your quest the best it can be.

Sorry, I have to get rid of the island idea now.. I think it looks bad anyway.

I know the discussion might have veered a bit from his screenshot but...

 

Hey Charizard. If I could make a suggestion, how about heightening your player sprite? Even if you bumped it up by like 2 pixels (while still keeping the majority of the player's bulk in the 16x16 hitbox) it would still make a huge difference. Here's a little example I just whipped up...

Going back to islands, this is a revamp of two of the screens from my previous screenshot :P

That is the most surprised looking volcano I have ever seen.

Huh? What do you mean by that xD?

If you see the one block black islands, that's where the screens are separated, so yes :P

I thought the Charizard sprite was good as it was... You're also using a very outdated sprite, this is the new and final one: 1LcPA5K.gif

 

Also it's no longer 16x16 and will be out of proportion with the rest of the 16x16 sprites...

My only complaint about your volcano is the cactus looks really out of place. Other than that, it proves people overlook the NES default tileset.

I think Shane's sprite still looks better, yours looks really stiff, it looks like it's sitting down, to be honest.

How about Great Britain. Should we ask if they're overdone? What do you think they'll say?  :P

I don't think we're overdone at all :P

That looks like a really awesome volcano! But same with Adam, the cactus looks kinda out of place. But besides that, that's a really interesting look on a volcano, good job!

Does the screen laugh at you if you make a wrong turn? :D

Can we all restrain ourselves from redrawing others' sprites? I know if someone did that with a song or something of mine I'd be rather astonished.
