Marines:
Unarmed; Pistol; Rifle; Rifle + Bayonet; Flamethrower; Grenade Launcher; Some other kind of heavy weapon

I love these!
I could see an RTS being made with them.
You know I haven't actually seen a decent RTS made with fusion yet.

They remind me of one of my all-time favourite RTS games from back in the day: Dune 2.

thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.

@Sketchy The sprites look great considering how damn small they are. 8x8 isn't a lot of pixels to draw in

Thanks everyone
I think there's probably a good reason why there are so few klik RTSs - it's not exactly the easiest genre to tackle.
My idea is more along the lines of the board game "Space Hulk", but with randomly generated levels and a few other features borrowed from "X-Com" (inventory, character stats / experience, wounds, etc).
I've gone for a whopping 128 x 72 pixel resolution (even a gameboy is 160 x 144), so to play fullscreen, everything would be at around 10x scale.

Tell me about it
Ive attempted to do some stuff since buying Fusion 2.5 and failed horribly to keep at it, yet I still visit TDC regularly.
maybe this 8x8 pixel art could be a thing, you know?
Maybe we could make a new topic where people can show off their own 8x8 pixel art with 128x72 screen size.

This is nice! I mean really well done!
So are you currently building this game or are those just mockups?
It's amazing how much detail you were able to imply with so few pixels! I have a hard time with that.
@AndyUK: Yes I've played that game before a while back. I was thinking more along the lines of starcraft II quality though.
