I was looking at sprite packs today, mostly because I know my drawing talents are very bad and if I want this game to at least look and 'feel' good, it needs to have good sprite art in some capacity. Basic shapes and characters made out of four blocks stacked on top of each other wouldn't work at all. It's not like I have a thousand choices, the biggest problem with choosing the good sprite resources is that they need to 'fit' together. I need something big enough so mostly everything I could want for my game would be in there, because if there's stuff missing, I would have to make them myself and try the best I could to mimic the style of that other stuff.
I've arrived at two ideas, either this sprite bundle thing, which costs something and would probably be lacking in some areas - although it probably has a lot of what I need - that I would have to work at myself - and this idea horrifies me - or go with this other pack of sprites that would be easier to mix and match and make more myself - their style is way simpler and cleaner.
In any case, I'll probably go with the second choice. Today I've worked on fleshing out my enemies and the items in the game and it's going quite well, that being said I'm not ready to add numerical values to anything yet.
Currently working on: Searching for art, creating items, enemies and skills
Time spent on the project so far: 33 hours
