Hi all, I'm making a game where you, the player, is tasked by Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods, to "steal fire" from the 12 Greek Olympian gods. First stage will be on Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy.

I've got the tutorial section mostly done now, and I think the pixel art I made looks great! I still need to eventually get on to making my own player sprite though...

What do you all think of this? Do you think anything needs to be added to make the world look better (e.g. more variety in the tileset maybe?) or have any ideas for some good puzzles I could add?

some more screenshots:

Player is interacting with a rock covered in vines with an orange core. Dialogue box reads: "By harnessing the power of Helios, the all-seeing Sun god, you can see things other mortals cannot"

Player is interacting with a rock covered in vines with an whitish grey core. Dialogue box reads: "By harnessing the power of Anemoi, the four winds, you can control air itself to eliminate obstacles in your adventure."

Player is interacting with a rock covered in vines with an blue core. Dialogue box reads: "This allows you to lower the sea level to create a path forward. Not parting the seas, that's Moses's thing."

The player is in a dark brown underground chamber with lots of grasses and small wine glasses. Three signs, one white, one orange, and one blue, point towards the right. Traffic cones appear to the left of the player. The world is made of pixel art

    or maybe I could play with some lighting to make it dark and cave-like...

    Yes, some normals on those sprites and they’ll look a lot less flat!

    that does look really cool! I’ll have to do that at some point…I should probably make the player sprite first though, right now it’s a recoloured version of the one from HeartBeast’s tutorial.

    edited to mention it's the Greek ones and not the Roman ones. Or did I do something else wrong...?

    That makes sense, the Greeks has a bunch more gods and deities and such they worshipped.

    In my game I’m also including four of the nature deities, Helios (the sun god), Achelous (the river god of the Achelous river), the winds, and Gaia (the Earth). The idea is that you can interact with the totems to use their abilities (e.g. Gaia totem would heal you)
