Hi, I have a question! I plan to have a single sprite facing backwards, where you'll never see their face and they'll never move their body parts. I was wondering if I could draw frame-by-frame animations of the back of their coat billowing or waving. I hope to find a way to do this without animating, but if that's not possible, would animating it be acceptable? No other element of the sprite would be animated or would change at all, and the coat's movement doesn't serve any narrative purpose.

Hi!

This is a really cool idea, but I need to discuss with BaiYu before we make a ruling. We may need to discuss it for a bit, so please continue as if we had said no. We'll get back to you with a more definitive answer later.

Hey! This might not be exactly what you were hoping to hear, but we’re going to rule that the coat movement could be classified as a moving body part. So you could have metaphorically speaking “2 frames” of the coat billowing - if you wish to do so, of course.

Hope that sounds reasonable!

That sounds perfectly reasonable! Thanks!
