Artwork

FoA2 will use a screen resolution of 320x200 pixels. It will use hicolor by default. All other graphical enhancements (such as higher resolutions to enable upscaling) will be optional. As in the precursor, bitmaps to display and animate characters (sprites) will be drawn by hand.

Background Art

Here are a number of samples of the work of our background artist, Jens.
