The game has a really impressive titlescreen (I have my doubts about the whole black background, but it certainly makes Lugia to look scarier than ever :\)
Looking at the latest screenshots, I like the new palette and tiles you are using now (though I say the same of everyone who uses Kyledove's graphics), but dont overdo using his tiles, else you'll be losing some originality points, alright?
Mapping also seems to have improved a little, it'd be nice to see how the old forest's screenshots would look with the new tiles.
By the way, are you still using that message box? Because orange with blue letters doesnt look that good...
Good luck with it!
