Nothing special, purely for fun.

noice, but i thought 1 bit could only 2 colors, your background has like 4
edit: oh yeah, i was gonna ask this. do 1 bit sprites have 2 colors and transparency or just 1 and transparency?

Technically, if there was only one bit for each pixel, then 1 and transparency.
As you can see, this allows for very little freedom.
So you might as well do a 2 bit game. 4 col for background (you might as well). 3 + trans for sprites (or two in Dogmeat's case).

The only problem with transparent pixels, is that I keep losing them. They are tricky little buggers... I put one down and, when I need it, I have a hell of a job finding it again.

Zoogles, I allways keep in transparent pixel at the top corner of my image, and only get rid of it when I'm done! this way I can allways "color pick" it!
Is ma little trick!

;)

eheh

Nice little guys dude, I remember an activity coming out of one of your boxy head characters. this ones are pretty stylish. and I like the use of only black. make some stencils to paint shirts! :D

Kazuya Mochu: Ah.. a nifty trick, I'll have to try and remember that one.

As for the characters - I only wish I could see them :( [x] for me)

I wanted to try making my own, so I did. I hope you don't mind if I got away from the simpler design of the originals. I get carried away with the details sometimes.
