Thanks!

Animating even my relatively simple sprites is a huge undertaking. It may come down to flaws in my work flow or something, but I’ve never been able to think up a way to do it at scale. I have over 200 unique character sprites across my various packs for itch (released and unreleased).

So the main question for me is always “which sprites get the animations?” Do I use a “heroes only” approach where only a handful of my sprites get the full suite of animations? Do I use a blank template sprite w/ all the animations included and just leave my customers to do the editing themselves? Will people actually buy that or is it a non-starter to force users to edit sprites?

Any thoughts you might have about this could be helpful.
