Odds and Ends
Note about art:
- the ground view is what the player sees when a player or
monster drops the item on the ground.
- The inventory view is what the player sees on the right side
of his client when he holds an item - note that this view should tend to
be square in shape (for example, swords should be drawn at an angle).
- The look view is what you see when you right-click on the
item. Note that this view is very large, and low-res art will appear to
be very pixelated.
For many items, these three viewpoints are the same. Also note that
any or all of these viewpoints can be animated to add a little flavor to
the art.
