Thanks for the feedback,
I agree that a lot of the original art is iconic, but it's also true that Pixel Dungeon's art has always been basic. This isn't the first time that I've made in-game art changes, and if past trends are anything to go on then there will be some change resistance and eventually people will view the new visuals as a strict improvements in retrospect (as long as I get it right, of course). The 2.5D walls are the best example of that, initial feedback on them was fairly mixed.
The goal with the new item sprites is to try and make better visuals, but keep the style the same or similar. A LOT of attention has been paid behind the scenes to try to come up with new sprites that are more of an extension of the current style than a replacement for it. Think of it a bit like the new title screen visuals that released last year, it's grander and higher detail but the core ideas are still the same.
Well alright, fair enough. I can see your point, more or less. You've made quite honestly an amazing game thus far, so I trust whatever choices you make in the game's development. Thank you for the explaination!
