/vr/ - Retro Games

I had an idea for creating third person character sprites, and I want to know if it could work. What if, you replaced the weapon sprites, with character sprites, and instead of placing the sprite at the bottom of the screen, you would center the sprite? I am no good at spriting, but I feel like it may work, and may be easier than alternative methods of third person cameras.

Would this work?
