Hi Mochakingup,

There's a fully working spriter plugin / runtime for game maker.  Spriter files are json/scml allowing you to use animation and such without having to use multiple png files to make an animation sequence.   Much like how spine works for Game maker and Character creator for unity.  a one second animation at 60 frames per second means 60 images or a large sprite sheet.  whereas, if I used the body parts in spriter, the same animation would only use the body images once as it's reading an animation text file to make things move.  This is only the surface of why, you can pack and call multiple animation by doing this with the same parts with no extra PNG bloating overhead.  You can use a point function out of box for aiming etc.  Animation blending such as landing from a jump that leads into the character idling again.

There are so many reasons...  Basically, Spriter (or Spine if one can afford it) is an animation/asset packing dream for game maker.  Much like Character Creator 2D is becoming and WILL become an animation/asset packing dream for unity.  I can even use it as an in-game character creator that I can switch sprites out with others for each part. THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIi4m1CxdMo video may help explain it better.

I would really LOVE to use your art in spriter to game maker allowing me to finally make the game I should have made years ago.  I'm a married father of 4 boys that has had a dream of making his own game since my childhood.  Covid-19 causing me to have to quarantine is giving me an opportunity to hopefully realize that dream.

I've self taught myself programming (later in which I went to college and graduated with honors for, though I don't see myself as a strong coder even still LOL), animation, and music production.  My art skills are okay I guess, but would take me a LONG time to make a humanoid character and not get any other progress done(This is where you come in and save me LOL)...  Sure, there are other art packs available all over the internet, but it wasn't until I saw the art in CC2D that made me say to myself "These are the perfect style of art I've been looking for"
