One can't copyright an art style, so if you made all from scratch you're good. Preferably it's a good idea that characters don't have the exact same shape and that you're not using the exact same colors.


The most important thing is that your characters don't look like theirs. Characters and names belong to them. If your character dresses like and has the same hair as a protagonist of their games, than that's a problem


Like, you can make a game with the same art style and gameplay as a Mario game, as long as your character doesn't have a big nose, a mustache and wears overalls and a cap

I drew him 3 times as big, i drew him by hand.. and i went with something kinda similar to the early Final Fantasy games.

I think this has been discussed before so there might be some threads around on it already.  Might be good to ask in the forum, where you can get more in-depth answers from more people, and where the conversation will be easy to find for others who have similar concerns in the future.

Understood.
I did do a search, and either i did not enter the right words, or.. something.. i dunno.


But i came up empty, and so i was not sure about starting a new thread, so figured i would ask with one of these status things.

yeah, go for a new thread.  If it's a question about game development, someone else will always come along who wants to know the same thing.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
