> Dead is the game closing down There was no update in about 6 years, it's still running because god knows why.

I think EO's strongest point is socializing, definitely not gameplay. There's some interesting quests and boss fights, but the gameplay is probably not entertaining as it should be. I think of it as a Habbo hotel where you have to work to customize your character. SEO offers bot-proof gaming, with updates the main game lacked, a lot more quests and more challenging monsters to fight.

> It is dead? [http://game.endless-online.com/playerlist.html](http://game.endless-online.com/playerlist.html) doesn't look dead….... Those are mainly bots online. The game hasn't been updated in a long time, admins never login. And compared to how popular it used to be (1000~3000 players) it's pretty much dead now.

 [](http://stavas-eo.tumblr.com/) [](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBmExOXfSydmUWwui0XXlew)  Stava's Endless Online is a private server based off the game Endless Online, which is now dead. Our goal with this private server is to make a game that the original EO failed to be; It has the old experience for those who simply just cant get enough of the original game, with a lot of new content and fixes that makes it even more enjoyable and possible to hop on and never run out of something to do. These new content enhances the old feeling of Endless Online therefor making it something to easily enjoy and not feel as though there is a completely different game being played within another game but rather an extension of a once enjoyable game. We don't aim to be like other endless online private servers, our goal is to remain within the box the original Endless created. We aren't trying to change the game - we are just giving it the update it deserves.

Thanks again haha

started working on this 2 years ago.. never had time to bother finishing it, and probably didn't have the knowledge either.. finished it yesterday xD 

> Absolutely amazing work, love the palletes you use. Have you ever considered joining a paid project? I could use someone with talent like yours. eh.. I assume your project is either a RPG or MMORpg, I have no interest in working on a MMOrpg, nor a eclipse RPG.. I think they're too common. I have too many game ideas I'd like to make so I don't wanna waste my time working on games I don't like, not even for money. Sorry and thanks for compliments.. @Dr House, Vus .. Thanks :- )

Some more stuff  practicing some cute style for a game I have in mind

I'd suggest you checking out Cure's tutorial on PixelJoint - [Link](http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299) - Specially the AA(anti-aliasing) part of the tutorial, I think it would help you with the style you are trying to achieve.. That tree is looking way better, but I think you shouldn't have mirrored the sides, they should differ to get more natural look.. :- )

I did a really quick edit on some things I think could be improved  Tree doesn't seem to have any depth and shading.. it's just a plain texture repeated.. instead of focusing on the leaves you should focus on the tree as whole. Make a decision on the light source and follow it.. Sprites I think could use more dramatic poses and more unique designs, I used Duran sprite from Seiken Densetsu 3 as reference. I would suggest sketching the sprites on paper first. If you are having trouble with texturing the grass, there's actually really no need to texture it.. :- ) I think the tileset should be more natural looking, I'd suggest references like Chrone Trigger, Seiken Densetsu.. I know I can't make a tileset as good as these games, and neither can you, but I'm not telling you to do the impossible, what I mean is just to follow the shapes/shading done in these games, take a look at the cliff for example, while yours has 2 straight lines on sides, theirs has more bumps on sides making it more natural.. Hope I'm not being too harsh with this comment, since my intention is not to downgrade anyone.. I see the work has been improved through the versions you've posted, and I'm glad to see that you guys are giving your best.. Even though I can't provide you with the best critique and best edits /examples I'm hoping I help you at least a little bit :- ) Goodluck !

Hello, just wanna show you some of my recent work.. : -) This was made for a old project that kind of died, I'm hoping to restart it sometime when I finish the project I'm working on right now..  This is attempt at making Pixel art look like Painting.. It's supposed to be me references I used are my [pic](http://i.imgur.com/tsOtE5t.png) and this [piece](http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2012/252/6/1/flight_by_carnegriff-d5e35zx.jpg) done by [Carnegriff](http://carnegriff.deviantart.com/) on DA..  Made this for weekly challenge on Pixel Joint.. Challenge was to make a human or animal with elastic or ability to stretch their limbs.. (explanation beneath)  It's meant to be a comic.. On first row, it shows Super Mario cheating to pick up coins.. He just sticks his hand in the pipe and collects money without wasting any time! Second row.. Well it was always challenging to reach the top point of the flag, but it's so easy when you can stretch your arms ! Third row, Bowser ! I probably never beat this game, but if it was as simple as a sneaky punch through window, I would have probably beaten it few times ;- ) Hope I inspired some of you and I hope you liked seeing this :- )

Nice work Benjiro ! I actually remember seeing some of this on PJ :D

I think that grass just doesn't work with the small sprite.. the grass highlighted pieces just look too big for that sprite it's like one piece of grass is as big as his arm or even bigger..

Hey here's some critique from me Well since the grass is taller than the dirt, on the grass-dirt combining tile you could add shadow on the dirt to make the grass look actually taller than the dirt  I don't think the cliffs should be standing out from other tiles so much, it doesn't look natural, and the cliffs shape is really repeating and too straight.. so you could work on making the shape more natural and having grass on top of it instead of those rocks.. (perhaps leave some rocks that would be surrounded with grass or something in some parts as a detail) (here's my lame edit) - here's some better grass/cliff connection tiles I did [Link](http://www.pixeljoint.com/files/icons/full/smallmockup.png) where sand is supposed to be covering the cliff bottom, you could add shaded waves of sand which would make it look more like the sand is covering something, and you could add some rock pieces that aren't fully covered with sand  other than that.. it's alright for now I see some improvement in color choice between your old and new work.. the old tree isn't so bad, just the colors are wrong and trunk but the shape is fine.. hope I helped you a little :-)
