I definitely agree with Strike on this. Obviously everything won't be perfect especially since this is my first real attempt at pixel art from scratch.
Just gonna throw this out there, I wouldn't consider that to be pixel art. Pixel art is really about careful manipulation of individual pixels and pixel clusters. It doesn't look like you gave much thought to the form or structure of each individual element.
This is a good intro to pixel art. Getting the techniques down is important. The rest is just practice and visual research.
Thanks I'll definitely take a look at that.
I would agree if I was targeting anything but PC because it at least seems that a majority of games released with that perspective on PC are made with RPG Maker. So it may in some cases be safe to assume that the game was created with it.
Maybe you only feel that's the case because you're in an RPG Maker community? I've seen a decent number of independent games with this perspective, and most of them don't use RPG Maker.
You shouldn't even be worrying about this anyway. Make what you want.
I was looking for games with that perspective on Steam and I mainly found RPG Maker games. There were definitely games from other engines though. You're probably right, I may be worrying over nothing. I'd just hate to spend all this time making the game just to have hated because of something as stupid as perspective. I guess that's just part of the risk of game design.
