    Don't lie to your (potential) customers.

    I like the nest. But the rest of the graphics looks inconsistent and amateurish.
    Try redo them in the style of the nest. And let "consistency" be you mantra:)

    I don't really see a problem with the graphics. The bird is supposed to look cartoony, the grass looks like real grass. Everyone who I have talked to so far didn't seem to have a problem with them. I am guessing you are referring to the hedges?

    It's not that there is anything wrong with them. But they aren't anything special. And saying they are some of the most beautiful graphics on an iphone is obviously an exaggeration.

    That being said I don't know why you had to mention that Dhondon, there are screenshots included, people will know what they're getting.
  • JohnPapiomitisJohnPapiomitis Member Posts: 6,256
    Yeah you defiantly need to update those graphics. Stick to one consistant style.

    Ok guys, fair enough. I'm working on a new texture that will hopefully be up to par with everyone's standards.

    Would something like this be more up-to-par?

    Or even more cartoonish?

    First off, it's not about 'our' standards and what we like. It's just an observation, everyone here is going to look at everything with a critical eye, it's a developers forum, it's just what we do.

    And if that's your best, than that's totally cool. It's cool you got something up on the appstore. I'm sure you worked hard on your games for a while and it's probably jarring for you to get negative feedback as soon as you release it.

    But just take it in stride, use it as a learning experience, and try and get better. Those are the same steps everyone here is taking.

    As far as your new texture, I don't think adding a new hedge texture is what's going to do it.

    Look at angry birds, their art is very simple, but it has a style, a consistent style throughout the whole game.

    Your art looks a little scattered, I think you need to revisit the whole theme with that in mind. Maybe get some help from an experienced illustrator.

    I understand. I'm not offended by your comment or anything, but I understand the game needs more consistency. I thought that maybe some inconsistency might work because of the style I was going for. I kinda like the way it looks now, I understand some of the art doesn't look professional.

    But the game sure is fun:)
