Alright, do these backgrounds look familiar to you guys too? I have a sneaking suspicion, but I don't want to say anything in case I'm wrong. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/806526

@redenchilada Well at first it was reminding me of "A Link to the Past" but not once I clicked on the thumbnail to look closer. I think it was mainly the placement of the house and trees.
-
@redenchilada I feel like I've seen these before but I'm not coming up with any names.
-
@northernnarwhal Actually I just compared it to what I was thinking of (SLHRPG) and it seems to match stylistically, but the roofs are sloped slightly differently so I'm not sure if these were taken from there in some form.
-
@redenchilada I have played SLHRPG, that might've been what was on the tip of my tongue. They're certainly similar.
-
@northernnarwhal It might just be a coincidence, since the former is directly stated to be inspired by Earthbound, but... http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/806529

@redenchilada The one on the left is at a wider angle but both are using that 3 board design at the top and have similar roof patterns so I'm not sure. Right now I'd say it's more of a coincidence than anything, similar but not plagiarism.
-
@northernnarwhal Eh, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now. It's entirely likely the two of them just had the same influences, considering the differing execution.
-
@redenchilada To be fair the sprites are considerably different too, but there are definitely some common threads among the two.
