>>45242113Not horrible by itself, but shit in game.
Overcrowded with too much shit going on. Not enough walking space--the biggest paths are 3 tiles wide at most.
The roads have detail but the buildings have one flat color down the whole front, so the styles don't match. This happens with the little merchant stands too. It tries to go for realism yet some buildings are just placed haphazardly.
And like with pic related, the biggest problem, the sign looks very nice and 3D, but if the sprites are 8x16 (which they probably will be) then they'll look like shit in comparison. In fact they'll look like shit in comparison to most of the city. I haven't seen the sprites though, so I'm just assuming. Also, if there's no lighting changes, the sprites are probably oversaturated vs. the city's more realistic palette.
Again, keep in mind how tiny the GBA screen is vs. how huge the buildings are and how many signs and details there are. Most times your screen will be cluttered with shit.
