My First Sprite - Feedback More than Welcome

Hehe, it looks like the guy is saying "I like booobs" over and over.

Hahahaha, that's awesome.

But it also means I'm going to have to change the talk cycle a little bit. Ah well!

First of all, it's Terran the one that might have some sexual issues.  Second, I think a bit shorter "o" frame should do the trick.

About the background, well yes, it has some perspctive issues (and not just lines but detailing), but indivudially (bus, station, lamp etc.) look nice. The thing that might trouble you the most though is the fact that a sprite would have to deform quite a bit, just one of the limitations you wanna consider when doing a background. And not just scaling.
Other might be framing, drawing attention with composition, colors, lights and other things.

Like I said, no good. I was trying to evoke Sam & Max with the weird perspective, but I didn't do it right. I'll just go to the Recruit A Team thread and post the details there. Eventually.

That background is actually looking good so far... I think the main issue is not so much the perspective (which I actually like), but scaling. The bus seems way too huge in comparison to the building, for starters. Make everything to scale, and your wacky perspectives may work.

And now that I've planted "I like boooobs" into your heads, you can't UN-see it, can you?

Well, the bus is integral to the plot, in that the entirety of the game is focalized inside of it. The puzzles themselves will be episodic, only returning to the bus when each episode ends, but it's the bus that's most important. Which is why I've made it so big.

The first puzzle will actually be attempting to get on the bus in a drunken stupor. That's the plan, anyway.

And by the building, do you mean the bus shelter? Or the flanking buildings?

No I cannot.  :

I only saw one building, the one on the right. Are there supposed to be buildings in the background?

Yes, there will be once they're coloured in. But the one on the right isn't so much a building as it is a small structure. It's just a bus shelter, meant to be no more than seven feet high.

I strongly suggest you add the boobs gag somewhere now. Boobs sell everything, right? 

[denimtrousers]

I will strongly consider it.
