Well for starters because most of us (including you I'd bet) have been looking at lasers and tiles in video games for decades. Just because someone can't do it themselves doesn't mean they can't tell when something is off.
Person : "Hey! Your building is crooked!"
Architect : "You're not an Architect! You could not know!"
Looking back, I do remember this incident. I do remember someone doing sprite editing (in an attempt to help), I do remember Someone else flipping out. I remember all of this because Someone decided to bring it back as a zombie. This zombie was brought to life entirely out of context. There was no virus, there was no meteor, just suddenly *POOF* there's a zombie.
Basically, I'll say this. I appreciate what you are attempting to do. It's an ambitious project. It's great that you and your wife are working together on this (my wife has 0% interest in helping me with my games, when I have the time; I typically get the olde eye roll when I tell her what I'm doing). I appreciate that you are proud of your art.
I do not appreciate your attitude on the subject, this is not a place to have a holier than thou attitude; nor express your dissatisfaction that someone edited your sprite 3 years ago which has seemingly turned into a personal vendetta. This thread is going to turn into a massive flamewar, it starts with the spark; then gets fanned by other members. I do not appreciate this fanning either. This thread has turned into a massive . It makes me sad. It also stands as a massive example of double standards. People complaining that TDC is mean, unfriendly, and nasty.
Many times it is these very people who are making it that way.
This is off topic as hell, sorry, but how in the world do you guys manage to find girls that completely disagree with the things you enjoy doing? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

I'm no pixel artist but here's a small suggestion as someone who has played other top down games: none of your sprites have shadows. They have shading, but cast no shadows on the ground. If you look at some other games renowned for having good graphics, usually there are shadows cast by at least the major objects in a scene. Whether this is your style or not, I don't know. Take it or leave it - just saying!
Well, good luck with your game. And good for you for making the game you want to make
