Aer Ruins: The first stage of the game. It will be ruins in a forest-jungly forest that could lead up to waterfalls and peaks, oh my. Exploration will be a factor in this and that's not a bad thing right? Oh and another thing, look out for the pratfalls and traps that are abound. While at it, you could see the sunset in the distance of the high peaked mountains.

Tsuki Forest: It's a crisp and clear night as wolves howl in the distance as the rays of the moonlight shines down from above in this hauntingly calm sacred bamboo forest consisting of Eastern shrines and lingering spirits. Climb high enough and you should see the full sight of the blue supermoon above you as you travel. Another thing, mind the royal guards, they're out and abound the place.. Wonder what's going on to get their attention?

the continued use of "you" implies we will do said work for / with you, but none of us know you, you've not been here long enough for anyone to trust you / willingly do work for you,
Its essentially a request and having a request on your first post will likely get the thread locked and yourself warned.,
just letting you know to save yourself some trouble.

That said you haven't really gone into gameplay and mechanics so it could be a very singular game, it's just the art and story doesn't look too unique.

Anyway good luck with this, if I wasn't as busy as I am I may have liked to help with programming. If possible though, you should add as much information about your vision of the game as possible so people know exactly what they'd be helping with, it'll probably increase your chances of getting someone to help.

Those sprites use way too many colours! You should try to increase the contrast between shades and try to merge similar colours togther. That way animations will be easier to make, too.

The mugshot has a pig snout while the sprite's nose looks rather pointy (nose-dots are usually used for pointy noses).

I could go into a long talk about bits but I'll spare you the trouble, just keep in mind bits usually don't tell you a lot about graphics unless you get really technical and even then, there are bits and bits and.... yea.

For sprites of this size, you should be fine with a maximum two or three shades per colour. However, in cases when shades can be re-used, you should do that. In your sprite, the shoes and hair have many similar shades and some skin tones could be merged with them, too. About 16 colours overall should be a good guideline (though not to be confused with 16-bit), though often enough you'll have to sacrifice detail (for example, grey eyes instead of blue, a completely yellow scarf-piece) but that, too, will make it easiert to make all the different animation frames later.
In any case, you should never need 60+ colours for a such a sprite! You already have a lot of redundant colours (the shoe soles really don't need their own).
