I alsofeel like the character moves too fast. And the monsters shouldnt respawn until you leave the area and enter it again...
2D minecraft = Terraria.
Terraria on smileBASIC = Petit World.
That said, keep on truckin' just make the game your own. If you can make this, you can make it unique as well.
Oscar is correct. Pp3d can teach you how to do things but the manual will teach you why what you did does what it does. Which is the more important part.
How would one report a copyright issue? ;)
Afaik, this guy is making a unique game and recreating the sprites himself. So that shouldn't fall under copyright
This is definitely a good start. Once all that white gets filled by a background, your main character and a main monster, this will be a great start screen. :D
I don't want to be a Debby downer but you should consider changing the clearly Subaru impreza shape. :p
That said. Darn, this is beautiful pixel art and I can't wait to see what else you produce.
Sorry. We are fairly protective of that "brand." We have been using it for around 7 years now. (The dh in my username stands for DeathHaze. His moniker is SanguineHaze)
