i would suggest adding a couple in-betweens in the walk cycle animation. that would smooth it out a little bit, the animation of the dripping water is so smooth and his run is very clunky. I can post some examples if you need anything, maybe even switching to a walk instead of the run. I'm choosing not to animate it further. I could, yes. I even went to school for animation, not that you could tell from this game. It's just that I'm so slow at pixeling I have to draw the line somewhere. Plus I kinda like the jerky animation. I think it's funny. As for the hideous guest, here's the real uninvited guest: I'm not too happy with the color on the dialogue box though so it's likely to change.

Looking really good so far. I had a problem reading the texts, though; I'd press up to read, and then I'd move a bit to the side and the text would disappear, not letting me finish it. A possible solution to that could be making the zone where the text is still displayed larger. I'd also make it possible to read them more than once.

IMO it fits perfectly there. It was something that struck me when I watched the screenshots and made me think of redesigning the dialogs in one of my projects - if I ever get to that. Just saying, methinks the box is good as it is.

Yeah, I'd add my support for the nice green colour of that dialogue box. Seems to fit well if you ask me, and the blue version is lovely too.

Okay then, I'll take your guys' words for it and leave the green. Of all the colors green is the trickiest for me, I can never really trust my judgement on it. It's my least favorite color, so it always looks a little off to me. Looking really good so far. I had a problem reading the texts, though... I'd also make it possible to read them more than once.
Done! I don't know why I made the decision to have the targets destroyed after reading them in the first place. Seems silly now that I think about it.

Aw dodongos. I was about to tell you about that. Yeah, being capable of examining things various times would be nice. Also, maybe some descriptions for the examinations can change depending on the events unfolding?

Urgh, I finally got level 1 100% complete with a transition to the next scene and everything, including all the sound. From here on I'm going to just do all of the graphics I need before I continue with the rest of the game. Once I have the graphics done, it'll be (relatively) easy to just plug them in and go. So here's the first art asset on this next leg of my journey. The Magdalena: This boat took me three friggin hours to draw . As always, critiques welcome.

Nice. Looks like it's made out of Clay, actually! Solid Clay, but clay none the less. I can't say I've got any critiques, either. Nicely detailed.

Done! Awesome! And good job, you seem to be moving pretty fast, all in all.

The ship looks awesome, maybe it could use some people on the deck but it looks great already.

...people? It's manned by THE SOULS OF THE DAMNED. Okay, not really. Here's the pilot house (work in progress): Baby steps...

Great detail! The compass on the map, feathery pen near the log book, everything's there! I would'nt trust that sailor though...something about his stare, looks like he's hiding secrets...dark, disturbing secrets

looks good the only thing I would watch would be the wheel and speed really stand out do to their dark outlines, if they will be animated or you can interact with them it might be okay but right now they really pop, I noticed them before I noticed the guys.

And actually this is just for a cutscene. The game doesn't really start proper until the Captain gets to the island. Speaking of, I'm starting to get kind of worried about having all this story filler before the action starts. I see no way to do away with it entirely because it's a setup for the ending. The game is very story-driven but will have only one level of actual "game" in it, if you don't count the first level. I guess I'll just try to keep the scene brief. i really like how this all looks im very impressed good job!
Whoa... coming from such an accomplished artist I must say I'm flattered

Well, you might try to put some playability into the intro cutscene, even if it's little more than the game's basics. I don't exactly how your game's gonna work, but a story's intro is also a convenient place to implement a tutorial of sorts.

if the story is good who cares how long the intro is. Metal gear solid 4 has like a 26 minute intro cutscene. go for it.

Yeah, but the game will only have one truly playable level. The first level is basically just an interactive cutscene. Yeah, you can run and jump, but it lasts all of thirty seconds. Oh well, screw it. I suppose I shouldn't worry about it. Anyway, the pilot house is done: From here on out I don't think I'll be posting any more screenshots or WIPs for fear of spoilers. As for the previous statement I made about posting a demo engine of the combat... well, I guess I'll just have to hope it's good in the final product
