They only go after people using their assets to make a profit. But Adekto is right when he says that changing the name of the characters would be wise.

Maybe a Legend of Neil game would be fun?

Ok thanks Adekto and Drakker, and I think that I will change a few things like the names and stuff. I've got time to brainstorm since r0d0t is sending the gamebuinos out in the order that they were bought and I bought mine literally 3 hours before it ended lol,

in the end it all relies on a name change (both title and ingame character) and u be more or less fine


It should be fine as long as it's not intented for monetary game but don't quote me on that.
(Get it? Because you, know I'm quoting adekto... Shut up I'm hilarious)

Here's my first design at a sprite. I replaced the sprite that was in Crabator to get an idea of how big it would be and it looks pretty big. Any ideas on how to make it smaller?

Use less pixels. A LOT less.

Image

4x4 pixel tiles will give you a screen area of about 21x12 tiles (compared to around 18x13 per room in Zelda 1). so, if you aim for about 8x8 pixels, your main character will be about twice the size of the tiles that make up the walls.

Of course, 4x4 is pretty small for sprites. 8x8 is still pretty small, and effectively halves the size of your dungeon rooms, but does at least leave a little room for details.

Getting recognisable graphics on the 5110 screen is a real skill, but it does have a few good points. The screen is tiny and can be copied to really quickly from a hardware perspective. And because it's so small, a lot of the details have to be conveyed via animation rather than by the individual frames themselves, but because the graphics are so small and lack colour depth, there's room for a LOT of animation.
