I'm an amateur at drawing and even then, I use a different style, so I'm afraid I have no advice on how to manage beyond "layers", which is completely unnecessary advice since you already know how to use them.

Creating an "expression pack" seems like a great idea! I'm not 100% sure how you intend to go about it, but a nice range of expression is definitely something you don't find often in free character packs, which kind of gives you the advantage if you can offer them. "Sole seller" and all of that.

Possible expressions could include the following. I made a large list to be inclusive, but the first 3 are what I feel are important.
Angry
Surprised/Shocked
Scared/Nervous/Sweating
Tired/Exasperated
Shy/Nervous/Ashamed

I was thinking of using Sumi, Sora, Aiko and Kousei for the project, as protagonist and deuteragonist (so that the user can have the choice to pick the MC's gender), so extra expressions for them would be a godsent.

And don't worry! I'm always willing to answer some questions (as long as you don't ask where the chocolate went), so I don't mind at all! I love talking with people about stuff I'm passionate about.

Great sprite pack, as usual! You're a miracle maker!

I do have a question though. Have you ever thought of expanding the expressions? Yours are the best free character packs I've seen around (especially since they are compatible with each other) so I was hoping for some extra expressions in the future. I was thinking of a Halloween-themed VN, but "scared" or "nervous" are incredibly hard expressions to find, heh.

Anyway, masterful work!

Sorry, this game was originally for the Only One of Any Asset game jam, which had a 1000 word limit - giving choices would've lead to too many words.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!

Alright. Worth a try, but thanks for the tip!

Hello, I have a quick question.

Regarding the "only one sprite". Is the rule only one sprite in the project altogether, or just per game?

Let me explain. I'd like it if I could make the character choose a gender orientation for a short romance linear VN. Since I can only submit 1 project to the game jam, creating two different VNs for different orientations would be impossible.

So, would it be possible to have 2 character sprites in the data, but only 1 used at any time during the game?

Thanks for your time!

Sorry, I just got accepted by another group and hadn't had the chance to delete this post yet. You can try with these two others, however:

Great!

Any chance an extra helping hand might be of use? I'm a writer and a fairly new Unity programmer and developer, but I have some experience with Java and C#, as well as basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Ruby and Python.

I'm a writer and a junior programmer in Unity looking for a team to create a game with.  I don't have experience (yet) but I'm eager to try!
