The trees just don't look natural, they need to look more like they are actually growing out of the ground.

This is not entirely true, there is a way to make graal's flat 2D engine look angled without an abrupt flat appearance.

It just requires new concept of level-design, and you wouldn't be able to really use gmaps in the same way..

For example..





In these images, the same flat 2D engine is being used, but the ground you can actually tread is actually limited, leaving the top portion of the level for aesthetic background space to give the area depth and the illusion of a 3rd dimension.

I've worked with this in the graal editor before, and taking into consideration that graal characters themselves are more seen from the side than from the top, with a bit of a tweak to the tileset, it looks fantastic.

Unfortunately, I am a graphic designer, and making these tilesets and styles is easy, finding someone to comprehend them and output levels for my server has been very difficult.

And, no, it's not.
I don't even know what you're talking about, since I made everything from my imagination. If it happens to look like something, what do you want me to do about it?
Anyways, it's for a server that will has actual innovative ideas. Not just a graphical variation on the idea of "level like mad, collect items, kill everything that moves"

I'm sorry if I offended you, but it looks like a desert fighting scenario level/tileset lol.

The door still looks too small. Also if you look really closely at the grass/sand tiles you'll see a mistake around the edges. Hate the couch x-x.

It's a test level for the tileset, not a LAT competition.

One thing that came to my attention straight away is the repetative tiles on the house. And also the house has no character.

Indeed, it's a fairly plain box.
