That's the ticket!  I'm not sure if it's meant to look untouched, because there isn't merchandise all over the floor or stuff knocked over.  I see blood on the floor, which implies a struggle, but everything is kind of pristine.

@SupremeWarrior: It looks great to me. I just completed a grocery/large convenience store yesterday, too.

@ Cray: The tileset is absolutely marvelous! But your character's shading is lacking compared to the background. It seems so for other characters, too, in other screens, but this is the most noticeable. You could either add more details to your characters or tone down the shading. But this tileset is too beautiful to be simplified.

@Cray: Beautiful. I'd add some tiles to the underside of the stone to make it look like it was ripped from the ground, thought. Sort of broken tiles, so it didn't look like it had a totally flat bottom. Does that make sense? I really like the colour of those yellow-gold bricks.

@SupremeWarrior: Yeah, looking loads better. I'd add some variation to the shelves and make the tops of those freezer units along the wall a bit deeper to make them take up more of that back wall, since the top is looking a bit bare. Evangel raises a good point about the shop looking like it is a bit too pristine a shape- try adding some empty shelves, empty cans on the ground, et cetera, to make it seem like others have been by but didn't get everything. This'll also explain why it doesn't have everything the player could possibly want, too.

Oh no, zombies

@Supremewarrior: That's a big improvement! I know we've been going after you here, but I agree about the colour of the floor. It's really not a big deal, but it'd probably be worth recolouring a little bit (with a little bit of yellow, rather than green, I'd suggest). It's nothing too important, though, I'd be happy walking around in there. Play around a bit with the colours on the floor if you've got a moment, it's good practice for your eyes (colour-selection wise). The back wall is still a bit barren, but that's more a result of perspective than emptiness. One thing I might add is one of those bubble-mirrors they have in convenience stores to the top-left corner. Might be a hard tile to find, though. Don't think Christo's the only one who's noticed you actually care about feedback, either.

@Cray: I think if you added a little bit of shading (nothing too much, the usual three-colour "dark-medium-light" should do the trick) to the chars they'd fit in absolutely everywhere. The discerning eye will catch the subtle palette changes (make them very subtle!) and they won't seem clashing with the earlier SoM-inspired stuff.

New title screen, a bit more consistent with the one from my first game.

@chibidestiny: I was thinking about menu placements, and thought it was a good idea you should put the equipment description on the right, since you would look at the equipment and think: "Hmmm, what is this?" rather than looking at the description and looking over where you got equipped.

@thernz: Did you do the sprites? And working on the background?

@NightBlade: The glowing blue art in the background is awesome. Gives a good sense of what's to come in the game.

@Mince Wobley: Cute and simple. I never played the games it was based on, but those colors seems fine to me. Just make sure there's enough contrast between characters and background

I've been working on this for awhile. Sort of stopped.
