End of Day 7:
Today I got my friend @ButterTheTurtle to help me with the art, and so the game should look a lot better! I added them to the project and (besides the player) they look great!
On the programming side of things, I'm currently working on the Frostbiters, with some test sprites that don't even look like enemies and so far I've got their basic mechanics in place. Eventually I'll have to figure out how to do A.I. movements, but we'll get there when we get there. I've decided that I'm not changing the player movement until I've got enough of a game to experiment with something like that, but for now, it will do just fine.
