It seems that just leaving a missing piece in that lower wall would show a door. It could be filled with something to show a locked door.

That said, there are a number of games which 'get away' with this sort of perspective - I noticed a few while researching some old systems - so there's not solid reason to completely give it up, unless you would prefer it the other way.

A pixel artist joined the project a few days ago, he will redesign 100% of the 2D art  :P

The perspective was a main thema, but after some mockups and talking with the player, it seems that the "Zelda"-view (although very "free" with the perspective), is better for this type of gameplay.

Here is one mockup he's done with an alternative perspective:

Woah that looks insanely awesome. I played the heck out of the most recent version. If you change it to that i would fall in love. Have been following the thread for awhile. (keep up the good work  ;D )

Thanks Distant Difference !

But we won't do this way, this perspective will change the gameplay to much: tiles could "hide" sprites, bats and fairies are supposed to fly over some walls, etc...
He's working on "Zelda-type" dungeon's tiles now.

The new sprites will be included in the next version, I think he will redesign the main character too.
He's not pro, but quite skilled, he's done an amazing work on imps and snakes !

Hey CirrusMinor, have you considered putting your game up on Steam Greenlight? I'm sure a lot of people in the SFML community would support it.
The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off.

Thanks !
Achpile, I'd like to have the old music too, but my skill and gears are not good enough :P
I've asked a frined of me - musician (damn good with a guitar or a bass!) and composer - to rearrange and play the "Witch Blast Theme", he's told me OK, but he's too busy right now, so I hope in a future version!

Thanks NullPointer, but I don't know a lot about video games and game dev :P
Why should I put a free game on Steam ? For visibility ? And what should I do ?
