No I was referring to two different types of surreal. In this case it would be a totally personal subjective surreality. In YOUR case I was referring to the art movement.

I think the middle part of the fence should have some thickness, but other than that it looks nice.

It's a 3D thing... a very, very useful way to save polygons. Establishing any sort of depth on such a thing like that will crank up the polygons fast, especially when you consider the fact that same polygon will be shown a lot(fences are long!).

It's why you see the same effect on n64/PSX games... and even on the PS2/gamecube games in some areas.

I figured it had something to do with that, but I didn't really think he was planning on using these in a game. Good work nonetheless.

Fun. The biggest problem is making an acceptable 3D classic-style character, and after that, presenting the 3D world in a acceptable classic camera-angle.

I think the only way you could present the 3D world, as far as camera angle goes, is some sort of close-crop light fish-eye effect. I've never seen any of it done though.

The style of the DS pokemon games would suit Graal insanely well.

Looks very nice to me. The character is sprite-generated?

[DustyPorViva]

Well actually, most of the overworld is sprite generated(characters, trees, fences).
It's just the camera is mainly from one viewpoint, thus they can get away with it.
