So. I've started remaking my Commander Keen fangame, now more ready than anything! I'm making an intro screen, I worked on it for four hours now and it's behind this link:
This is still work in progress, but I need some constructive critisism. What do I need to improve or change? The sweater's not done yet, so you don't have to comment that.

I know the neck is kinda weird, it originally was located a bit more in the helmet, but I don't think that would fit in this image so I left it like this. He's bending over a bit anyway.
Ive never played a commander keen game. Is it one of those old DOS games that used 16 colours? Judging by that screenshot it is (or was it 256 colours?)
Yes it was in 16 colors. But it looked pretty good anyway.
Make sure that you don't make the same mistakes as the people who made the Gameboy Color version! (play it and compare to see what I mean)

Doesn't really look like 16 colours, either, though Keen IS albino due to palette limits.
"Fun fact: Commander Keen was the first computer game I ever played."
Hey, you too? Me and my uncle used to play this game all the time.
"The fan art is pretty good. But don't make a crappy fan game like all those other crazuh Keen fans. Make it a good one."
Don't worry, I made a custom platform movement, and the game includes correct pogo'ing and climbing and stuff. This will be the BEST Keen fangame EVER, or at least I'm intending to make it so.

I recommend you playing Keen 4 and 5. And maybe 6. Those are the best. Use DOSbox if they don't work well.
