What is the player going to look like?
More or less this:

Basically an Oryx style blocko sprite
A little wonky, but it works when it's edited well.
As for the actual character, I'll reveal that when (if) I start the adventure.
is this adventure going to be a game or something else
A standard forum adventure. I prefer to do my spriteing in multiples of 8, though, as to simplify things a bit.

Not sure if I like this or not. At least I managed to work it down to about ~6 colors
