Frontier Town is a top-down RPG in which players can take on a multitude of roles within society. Set in the medieval era, players can do jobs such as farming to grow food for the populous, smithing to create new tools to equip the townsfolk, and building residences and workshops in order to encourage specialists to move in, or to sell to other players.
Dirt tiles with grass edging which will be used for paths, as in the Flash mockup
Also updated the grass so it draws a lot of plain, some detail and then some clumps on top.
May i ask:
Do you pixel everyting by yourself or are you getting them from somewhere else? :)
Somehow the character and the tiles do look familiar so i was a bit confused about them ^^;
They're from The Liberated Pixel Cup :D
"Liberated Pixel Cup is a two-part competition: make a bunch of awesome free culture licensed artwork, and then program a bunch of free software games that use it."

We're actually looking for an artist if you're interested, they'd have to be able to match the sort of style we already have though.
We need all sorts, from different player clothes/armour, to weapons/tools, to objects like a furnace for smelting bars, and some more furniture to decorate houses.
I fear my style does not match enough ^^
I can make you a little mash oup of my pixel works :) Just give me a few mintes :D

there :)
you see i do pixel art fromt iem to time but not much (because its very exhaunting ^^; ) and i somehow stick to my style even if i try to change it :<
i dont think im a big help for you :|
Ahh yeah they are awesome but the style is quite different :/
Thanks anyway :)
Well, i can try to do minor things like icons and such if needed i can not promise to be helpful though :|
just let me know and we can try.
Sure :) Well what do you think of the icons on the character armour part? You could redo them if you like, I'm really not fond of the gauntlet one. They are 32x32
Or you could design a new border for the inventory panel? I'm not sure but I think it could probably be made better by a real artist haha
Or if you want to try an object, a smelter would be nice, for turning ore into metal bars.
Maybe similar to the Skyrim one? Images3.wikia.nocookie.net
Or an open top fire like in Anno, though an open top would have to have at least a few frames of fire animation Images3.wikia.nocookie.net
And here is my Paint.NET file for the inventory design, a png format one you can get from the images tab.

And the Paint.NET file for all the current icons

See what you think :)
a smelter? should be no problem :) i like the icons, let them the way they are ;)
32x32 you want it on one tile or can i use 2? :)
Sorry, the smelter can be any size you like :) Reasonably haha
okay here we go, first try.
Its not really like your examples, but thats what came to my head first.
One inactive and one active smelter

(hey btw if i help you enough ill get a free version of the game? :p )
Are you on Steam or anything? Talking like this is a bit tedious
