I have enjoyed Shakespeare's Quest so far. He's who I would be rooting for if Atilla wasent around haha!

You keep hanging on in the town square scene though. Damn you. Why can't I just get the crowd to lynch you and get on with my day.

Why don't we just draw the deaths of the various characters in the game?

So, I've spent a month (or two) getting 8-, 16-, and 32-bit graphic backgrounds and characters from various sources so I think I have enough to make the edits to them so as not to violate a dozen copyrights.

Comic might be seeing it's first page within a week or so.

Alright, set back. I was using alot of material from RPG Maker programs and turns out that the scale I'm trying to work on doesn't do so well with the small icons they use.

So, changing formats slightly.

What I want to know is the style that people thinks works best. I can do the SNES RPG overhead approach that RPG Maker defaults to, try something more along the lines of a side scroller, or forgo the entire use of actual game backgrounds and use more artistic ones.

just an FYI: The tiles of the roguelike Dungeon Crawl are public domain and if you download the tile version, there's a directory with PNGs of all the tiles.
