Me and a friend are planning on making a game that's almost certainly just going to be free to play. We lack graphic artists so I came up with a style which was easy to make yet I thought effective to compensate.
Graphics seem real important in todays gaming. Countless threads on Skyrim forums for example of people QQing over slightest things so it does worry me that no one will play our game if it ain't shiny.
Anyway without telling you what the game is about here is a mock up shot with few images in. The background will likely not look that plain. Would you play a game that looked like this: http://imageshack.us/f/220/concept7th.png/
EDIT: modified slightly, made it slightly less blocky and created small animation:
Added additional 'concept' with random background from battlefield: http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5828/concept3.png
