Hello
It was not until I started playing this game, but I have to write some (in my opinion serious errors) are:
1. Graphics of units - they look as if they were each a different game removed. Not to mention that there are a few guards looking the same. Graphics hero, however, is just ugly! In addition, all the characters as they walk, you see all the time on "me" even as the hero goes up, looks at me.
2. Translation - specifically, I'm talking about Polish language, the translation is not accurate.

I'm sorry for the mistakes, but I am a Pole :)

If a problem for developers is to draw several characters and make them animations, you can send me a unit in .png format. I am a graphic designer and I could help, so far I've done graphics for the game "The Battle for Wesnoth," so I think your advice I would give to do it.
Regards

Hello Maksiu, and welcome to the forums.

Can't say much about the Polish translation, except that it's one of the most active and up-to-date, thanks to DanielS.

For the graphical part, we rely on free spritesheets, published under a creative commons license, from several artists. Save for small tweaks, no graphics were created specifically for AT.
Indeed, that has lead to inconsistent character looks, and could greatly benefit from some rework by a talented pixel-artist. Having several options for the main character is also something I'd like, if only for gender selection.

If you want to help with that, it would be really great.

I can help with graphics units, but as I wrote earlier need to be dimensioned characters, and the best same characters in .png format.

The translation is unlikely to help because poorly know English, the only thing I can do is fix a few bugs logic and give space not translated.

I now have two questions: What size are the characters? What license is this game (important) ?!

Sorry for English :)
Regards
Maksiu :)

Overall, it's a shame that everything is so small (32x32) it gives few opportunities. :(
Department Polish translation is a little ... let's say "obsolete" (Last post in 2013) but I can help you debug logic.
Very well that the game is on the GNU, it gives me some opportunities :)
So went the first attempt units, I think it will be me harder than I thought, because so honest it is hard to place such a small area a lot of detail: (32x32)

Okay, I made several versions of the draft revised hero (old version of assisting some mistakes), you can tell me you do next and take care of its fulfillment. :) I just have a question, what is in his left hand a hero?

Posting images on the forums is a broken feature.
Could you post your images on some image host (like imgur or any other of your choice), then link/include them in your post ?

Your examples from wesnoth shows that you got skill !

32x32 is small indeed, especially by today's standard, but keep in mind that we're also targeting cheap android phones, with small screens and poor resolution.

Posts in the Polish thread are old, because, in a long while, DanielS has been doing it all on his own !

That's what I like to think it is, but according to the artist, it is a boxing glove.
