Thanks for all the feedback!
Right now, I'm brainstorming ideas for certain design aspects of the game. I came up with some weapon ideas, and I think they'll work really well with the game. One is a flyswatter, which is just a basic melee weapon. The other is bugspray, which is a basic ranged weapon.
The weapons/items you find and use in the game will all be common items that one might keep in a fanny pack (Or at least along those lines), as I want to make the fanny pack the player is wearing his inventory.
I'm also working on the overworld design, which will look like an old crinkled map when you're selecting an area from it.

Work in progress of the overworld. It's styled like a map drawn on a musty old piece of paper, as seen above. It's blank now, as I haven't drawn the areas yet, but they won't show up until you actually get to them in-game, anyway. The actual cursor for the area selection will be his right hand's index finger, but I still have to draw that. There will be a few "secret" things involving the overworld map as well.

Now that map screen is a top notch idea Hand looks a little weird though, might want to take a photo of your hand in that position and draw over it to get the anatomy spot on.

Yeah, the hand obviously isn't anatomically correct 100%, mainly the thumb. I'll try curving the thumb a bit more down, so the index finger is shown "above" it (Vertically, not depth-wise).
It's also supposed to look like it's curved a bit back, but it's hard to convey that with the lighting/shading. I can't detail the shading too much, or it'll break the style, but then it looks like the hand is just laying flat.

I won't have any updates for a while, as poe and I are forming an actual team for the game. I've been doing the art for Six Sided Sanctuary, and I thought it'd be awesome to work on other projects together, Traversia being one of them. He also liked the idea, so we're going to start the process of moving the game over to XNA from Game Maker: Studio. There isn't a whole lot to the game so far, which will make it easier to move over. The game is going to be a lot more promising now that there's an actual programmer working on it as well. Anyway, not sure when we'll be ready to post some actual updates, but it probably won't be until mid April at the least.

keepin an eye on this one. the wilderness pixel art and animation is fantastic! The water looks a little glassy though, almost otherworldly in a way.

We already were, matt did the art for Six Sided Sanctuary EDIT: Just touched up the post since I posted it on my ipod, and that's a shitty way to do things.

Using XNA means Mac and Linux support through MonoXNA right?

Yep, but it will be done last so I don't want to say it's guaranteed to happen.

Did a HUD: I'm still messing around in the Game Maker version so I can still work on graphics and whatnot, while having an environment to test them in.

The overground stuff and the map holding view are awesome! It's a huge contrast to the underground stuff which seems very uninspiring at the moment (as from a different game even). I hope you can figure out how to give the caves as much detail and life as the overground! Also: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/185894/Its_official_XNA_is_dead.php

That really means nothing. You can still install the XNA redistributable on Win 8, and Monogame will probably provide support for even further versions of windows. Literally nothing has changed (as in XNA will never be updated). To play an XNA game the user has to install something, to play it on Win 8 the player has to install something. It's really a non-issue unless you're pushing the boundaries of the framework (which I'm not)
