Ill post my updates here so you can see how far we are progressing. Please let me know with each post any ideas you have for features, characters, buildings, literally anything that you think will make the game better. If its a suggestion that I end up using and its a BIG change to the game then I might even credit you somewhere :)

So far this is the starting point.

I created a background for this area. I'm planning on making it into the main hub where the centre of town is going to be with all the main shops and activities like selling ores, buying guns and receiving quests or mini jobs. I made the character by getting heavy inspiration from some random Indiana Jones pixel art image because I am not very good at making humanoid pixel people but with this as my template I think I'll be alright. I also made the whole movement system. I might add some faster movement for when you're in gun fights or just to make it faster to get from one place to the other. 

berry cool

1. I think the background shoul be parallax. Like it moves slower than the main scene to give it a sense of depth.
2. For polish you can add tiny footsteps in the sand to make it look more natural ig.

Prototype 0.02

We now have shooting and some effects to help make shooting things a little more juicy. There isn't anything to shoot at the minute but soon I am going to be working on the duels system where you can do a classic western duel for coins or gold or whatever. I have already made the UI for it. I'm not entirely happy with the UI but I think for now ill keep it. Hopefully at the end of this new week I will have more to show.

I'd say improve the UI a little, even if it is a pixel art style, could improve it a little.
