I've always wanted to try my hand at this style but I'm not familiar with the specs. Like what is considered the thresh hold for the file setup? I'd love to participate. Just want to set set the parameters up right. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to take a second and gimme the lowdown!

I recommend trying out Pyxel Edit, as there is a free version.
If you want to do small items, 16x16 is a good start for practice.
For environments I usually work at around 150pix width or height. Anything smaller than that may be better for beginners. So you get used to simplifying what you see, like trees, stones and items in general. Photo reference helps to get started, afterwards its much easier to experiment even without any reference.
Thank you very much for the info! I'll have to give this a shot :)
