Welcome 2026! Here are some cuddles to warm you up for the new year. Characters in Tears of Magic change to relaxed outfits during socialize mode. Do they look good? #pixelart #gamedev

Oh I thought it was Breath of Fire fanart lol... I mean I understand inspiration but using the same art style and basically copying the characters as well, might get you in trouble with your game? I suggest you make it a bit less obvious... otherwise, it looks gorgeous.

Here is a comparison of our sprites to those from #BreathOfFire 3 and 4, using the same pixel size. As you can see, the only thing they share is realistic proportion pixel art, but other than that, they have completely different concepts.

I'm a fan of the BOF series and obviously you are too. We both know I mean more than 'one character in your game is similar to the weretigers in BOF'. You can do what you want of course, but I fear I know of at least a couple of games revomed from Steam for being too similar to old jrpg classics.

You don't need to worry about that. The game is very distinct from BoF, including fully customizable protagonist, personality system, story, races, lore, magic affinity mechanics, relationships. We are further apart from BoF than Stardew Valley from Harverst Moon, or Eiyuden Chronicle from Suikoden.
