Big announcement: One Fenix Down is getting a 16-bit graphic overhaul!


I'm happy to announce that One Fenix Down is getting a major graphics overhaul to appeal to your 16-bit senses! :)

The new sprites better fit my original vision of a 90s retro-like JRPG. As I've said before, FFIV and FFVI are the biggest inspirations to this love-letter of a project, and I wanted the visuals to be a little closer to these gems.

While the walking sprites and tilesets for the maps will be changed, I think it's important to mention that the awesome pixel battlers and character portraits will stay the same! I anticipate some criticism down the road from using both pixel art and high-def drawings, but... I don't care :P The truth is I considered going the 100% pixel art route for style consistency, but I think players will appreciate the quality of the character portraits and the emotion that they are able to convey.
