Although I am working on a project of my own,I am willing to do some starter programming stuff for this.I've beaten AoL 3times and love it.
That'd be great, though as I said I don't have the time atm to work on a full game.. I do have a sloppy design document full of ideas, but it needs translating since I'm from Sweden. ;D
I guess the best thing you could do is join the Z2E project that I linked to above, because they seem to need all the help they can get
Keep in mind though that their first priority is simply to reproduce the original game engine, and save the upgrades for later. They're working on a map editor atm.
@Hyrule_SwordsMan - hehe, it was a joke man
But I like it. The only problem with it, which seems to be a problem with your other sprites as well, is the outlines. I tried to demonstrate how to improve them to give the sprite better definition and look less pixelated, but I'm not that good at it. The pro's call it anti-aliasing and selective outlining. You can find some excellent examples on a page like
http://www.pixeljoint.com/default.asp, where I've seen some of the best sprites evvar
It's helped me a lot.
