I was thinking about controls.. and I'm thinking best would be WASD for movement, and targeting with the mouse? Any suggestions on that duders?

Might as well throw another work bump out there..

You would think that would be a good mechanic, but honestly it kind of sucks in reality.

I'm always a fan of keeping it simple with pure directional controls, a shoot button, and a jump button.

I'm biased, though, since I like to hook up my arcade stick to play games, and it doesn't do well with things that want a mouse instead of a keyboard.

I agree with this. Like Jazz Jack Rabbit.

alrighty, if that's the consensus then that sounds fine by me. I was thinking keyboard wise you could just tap space over and over and over and over to shoot. Dual action gun style.

anyhoo I'm callin' it a night on this one. Here's some final screens

I think in his idle state he should occasionally spit, accompanied by a "pa-ting!" sound like a spittoon.

So you pretty much took my life and made it a video game

But seriously man, this looks amazing. Let me know if there's anything you need help with with. 

I would love to see this on Xbox Live or PSN. With some cool box art or something!

Go for it dude! What's the game type going to be? Platformer? Puzzle?
 
You could try to make something totally different, or maybe do something familiar that was awesome like Wild Guns or something.

I have a friend who does a LOT of video game music, and he LOVES spaghetti western music. I am sure he would love to help you out on that side.
