I've posted here quite a bit asking for help with art for my games, and no one really seems to contribute, a few do, some offer to keep on it but usually stop contacting me after a bit, and yield little work, so here's hoping this thread will come with better results.
I'm making a game like stickRPG, or one of those dating sims, without the dating, where you have start low on the ladder and have to build yourself up both mentally and physically (your character not you, you'll just be sitting on your ass pressing keys.) to get further in life.
Anyways, here's what I have started, it took around 5 minutes and is surely buggy, but just to show you i'm contributing to my own cause.

A big piece of the game is the map i'm asking for, from it you'll choose where to go and what to do, and major kudos will go to anyone willing to take a stab at it, it should look like a city, some varying buildings like skyscrapers, besides that i'm not sure so you'll have some creative freedom I guess.
It would be best if it was made in paint, but I honestly don't care, as long as it looks half decent.
thanks for reading, hopefully someone can help me out
Dating Sim without the dating? Isn't that just a visual novel?
Also are you saying you want it to be isometric?
[B]edit[/B]
Wait ignore that. I figure it is cause of the game in the link.
isometric would certainly fit, but it isn't really necessary.
by dating sim without the dating, I meant you could go to the bar and drink beer to raise your charm, or go to school or study to raise intelligence, but there's no boobs involved, or maybe there will be, I don't know, it's up in the air until I can get some solid artwork down, such as the map.
I'll try to do something later, how big do you want the city?
Might give a jab at the bar, without people.
that'd be great, as for size, I'd say about your average city, if you meant how big everything is, here's a reference;

:raise: Wait a minute, that sounds like stick RPG.
at least it wont be delayed like stick rpg 2 :D
[its been fucking 8 years from the last one i can make half-life 1 in that amount of time its like the online game babby to hl2 ep 3]
A little thing that bothered me in the game was that if you held down 2 keys (up and right for example) your character went 45 degrees in between up and right. If it's from an isometric perspective, I think he should go 30 degrees in order to walk along the grid.

it sure does, i'm trying to get a series started, but as of now the first version is going to be basic, i'll be adding some awesome freeroaming later, but again, I can't do anything until someone helps me out with this
Kind of like Habbo Hotel, just without all the extra shit? Also, are you able to make a sprite of just the characters back when he's walking up? It looks kind of weird walking backwards to move up.

if you want me in it i tried this is my first 8-bit or 12-bit pic
I whipped up a little unfinished/simple map

Unfortunately that's not 8-bit or 16-bit art, Google it and try again, or look at the character in his demo :)
i feelt like adding a police station to that map ..
but i think its too big so far .. its not finished

well ? ill remake it smaller if u want ;D
thats the best i can do to remake it thats not nice
Actually I if you wan't my HONEST and not filtered opinion, You clearly have no grasp of the art style these people are using, Don't freehand then say it's 8-bit or 16-bit without knowing what 8/16-bit is in the first place.
How is that for "Not Nice" ?
On a completely unrelated note, The Map looks nice :)
I've done some on the bar now ;

Tell me if something needs to be changed, it's easier to fix those problems now rather then later when I've begun to do furniture and stuff.
Edit :The colours you see in the right corner is the one I was thinking of drawing the colours with, half wood on the bottom and some fancy green stuff on top.
Texture repeats too much, try making maybe 4x4 area of certain texture so it doesn't repeat itself each block.
like:

Good idea, I'll throw something together later on with that in mind :)
the bar looks good so far, though it couldn't hurt to follow fippe's advice
Holy shit, it's Minecraft 2D.
How can I help?
you could make an office, doesn't have to be huge
Don't know what locations you want or how many there should be so I just threw some shit on there.
[img]http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1052/ovarwurld.png[/img]
perfect, I don't have any locations done yet so i'll just adapt, the only thing I wouldn't have considered would be the lab, but I can work it in, thanks a lot for the effort
Anyone feel like making some 50x50 symbols for jobs?
for starters I need one for Lab Assistant, Lab Researcher and Lab Head
