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.
