Pixel Joint Forum: RDR 2D platformer

Message

So being totally hooked on Red Dead Redemption lately.
I decided to try and pixel a 2d gameboy style platformer of RDR.
And well, I'm pretty pleased about the result so far.

But any tips are always welcome! 

So far I have made this.
A jail and a bar/motel thingie.
The meters up top represent the Dead Eye meter, Health and your ammo.

Anyway, after that I tried to make a John Marston into it. (The main character from RDR).. but well, let me just say, I really really suck at non-building stuff.

Just have a look; 

See?

Kinda looks like a elf.. not totally what I was going for :p

So please.. Help me ;D

	I think your screen is too small. GB has a bigger screen which might help with making things just slightly bigger and better defined. Frankly, it looks great right now :) From the GB challenge Canvas Size - 160 (width) x 144 (height) per screen. Edited by jalonso - 09 June 2010 at 12:10pm
