I dig this Game (tentative title) development thread

[Gors]

I have been testing the pre-alpha, and while it's shaping up quite well, I don't like the fact that:

1=you move hopping (or is that something I am missing?)
2=the tools aren't used even if I press the action button a hundred of times. They appear only to function if you press the action button and move button together which is annoying.

But thanks to the engine, I've been motivated to do some graphics for the project. Fitting a character in a 16x16 box is challenging, but the small size also makes easier for animations. I am straying away from those simple 4-frame animation style Cave Story popularised; check the animations here.

pickaxe

placing column/ladder

placing rope

also here's a beta sheet if you're interested. By the way, the guy's name is Cels, but if you have a better name please feel free to contribute
