Yeah I was using that example beacause it was the only medieval fantasy game I could think of. Forgive me, I did not mean to imply it should be Zelda. The style is grounded, realistic, celtic. For example, if you look a pictures of Ireland and the surrounding area, there are lush forests and grasslands blanketed in mist and fog, along with stone forts and castles dotting the landscape. I don't want the art to be cartoony, or cheery, nor do I want it to be evil and twisted(Sauron's tower from LOTR.) I just want to give the castles and spirtes a style that says they live in a tough time, similar to the dark ages.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and again, this is just a request to see if theres anyone out there who could keep their eyes on this until we have our demo complete and a link to it on this post. You don't have to go making like 20 castle backgrounds or anything. If you do have any ideas or suggestions for assets to draw inspiration from, leave a link in the comments. It could be any resoloution, as we are still in pre dev and still writing the levels, ect. and we don't know what our res will be yet. Our perspective will stay like this most of the time. http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/39173.htm
One more thing I forgot to mention. Try to add a kind of celtic feel to the demo or if you arent going to create one, thats fine.
SOMETHING IMPORTANT. Unless we feel very proud of our work and get some great art, this will be an open source, free game. If the game goes on Steam or something and starts making substantial profit, we can discuss profit.
If you want to look the guy up then here is a link. http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Isaac_McDougal
