TotP: Chp3 was I think the best chapter of them, but the whole explanation of the town and the guard and stuff were very sketchy, I know. It honestly was a continuity cover-up. The main problem was that I forgot to explain that the town was in the middle of the forest, and so, yes, the town guards also patrolled the surrounding woods. At least I can remember this for the re-write.
Also, after a night of fighting the psi, black things would look evil to you. I'll have to explain Keiy's perception a bit better...

In Alien World, the aliased lines were kinda necessary because I used Paint .net, but I see what you mean. As for the white sky, It is supposed to look like daytime, as you thought, but I understand what you're talking about. Still, a gradient I think would subtract too much from the general simplicity. Probably just an almost black color for the planet and black for the sky would've worked.

Anyways, thanks for the input. I'll keep it in mind.
