No. Games are getting much better.

Try playing any "classic" game for the first time now that you never played as a kid. It's unplayable garbage and the enjoyment you get out of the ones you have played before is artificially propped up by nostalgia.

It's pretty logical, really: as time goes on, game developers learn from the successes and failures of games from the past and apply those lessons to improving their work.

Most of the best games I've ever played were from the past decade.

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.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
