• Stylization. Hazeron's overriding problem is the uncanny valley. Glabrians are the most obvious example of unintentional creepiness, but lots of things count. We don't need more graphical fidelity: we need to embrace the low-fi style as an artistic choice in itself, not a limitation. Take trees for another example. The trunk colours are dark and grungy: they're supposed to look "realistic". If instead they were solid pastel colours or had geometric pattern, for example, the low resolution wouldn't matter. Nor would it be any more demanding on the hardware.

You've excellently articulated a point which many of us have been thinking and talking about for years. The biggest problem with Hazeron's graphics is that Haxus has always striven to make them realistic, which is very difficult for solo developers to achieve. The reason so many indie games released today have low resolution, cleanly pixellated, simple graphics is more of a time saving decision than an artistic one, and oftentimes does result in a better looking game.
