I like the bars a lot -- they are a big difference from what you normally find. The game menu behind the characters is also nice....but it is hard to read the words and see the character at the same time. What if you had a left alignment instead? It seems like all words are short enough to not interfere if coming from the left. Just a thought ^_^.
I only have a few really old, really underdeveloped maps so far (*sigh*). I lost my stamina with mapping a while ago in lieu of artwork, script-collecting, and storyline development. Um....don't make fun of me please.
Demonstrates NPC character interaction....if player goes toward mouth of cave without speaking to NPC, this message pops up and access is denied. Basically player must agree to take the test and pick a time limit to proceed:
Yes, I see the issue in the upper left corner...Just noticed that and will fix.
And yes, that is an original character sprite you see peeking over the cliff edge. Just one of many...
Another map...one of the in-game training grounds. This is so not the right character sprite for this area BUT I had her already prepped so...whatever. This map is huge, too.
