Pac Pix is a great idea, but I was thinking of something bigger than that, and for a regular platformer or RPG.

The character creation wouldn't be that free. The game would use a 3d engine like Four Swords, where the models are just flat polys with textures slapped on them. So for an enemy for instance, you would draw each movable body part separately within a restricted size, and then the game would just put the textures you made on the appropriate places. It's actually pretty simple.

Yes, I hope that happens as well.
