The first attempt doesn't look that bad, but I know I can do better if I spend some time practicing. I want to re-do pretty much all of the graphics. UI, character sprites and overworld sprites. Character sprites will need just some tweaking and overworld sprites should be quite easy once I get the proper blender setup ready. Also, here is a work in progress main menu. There is still a lot of work to be done on that one.
First update next year will have the war system, with faction system and expansion to war system following shortly after. After that, I will start working on missing and broken dialogue. I will be switching back and forth between dialogue, graphics and adding minor features / expanding old ones.
I will be posting pictures in the "sneak-peaks" thread to show what I'm working on and how I'm progressing.
