Thanks, unfortunately I haven't done any of the sprites myself so of course they look good x)

Pre-rendered maps (à la Playstation-era Final Fantasy) must take an enormous amount of time. Unfortunately I'm not that good at making animated characters either. When you think you'll start doing them, I suggest you google different kinds of sprite templates and study them a bit, what makes the sprite look fluid and look like it's actually moving. Of course you don't NEED to do it, graphics are just icing on the cake on RPG's.
Also, concert pianist. That's cool. I don't have any musical background other than what I've taught myself, but I'm doing my soundtrack from scratch too. Maybe we could share some work :)

Your HUD looks dope, your character looks dope. The map is good too, but they don't mix that well together. Have you thought about doing different HUDs for different parts of the game (like in Kingdom Hearts 2)? If that map is just to show off the sprite, then I can live with it :)
