4 or 8 direction animations?

Is there any possibility of 4 (left, right, front back) direction or 8 direction animations? Obviously one can get left facing animations by flipping the right facing ones, but I would like to be able to export front and back as well.

Based on my knowledge of this program from using it every day. You could use the unity version to create your own body parts and animations.  With that being said, I don't believe that those kinds of animations are even in the scope of the road map for this as it clearly was built for platforms and side strollers (Which is why I purchased it).  Also, all of the packs for this (DLC) are for just that as well.  Obviously I'm not part of the dev team, just wanted to share with you my experience with it.  The dev will answer though, they've been awesome with their public relation responses.

Hey atomice,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to do 4 or 8 directions with this tool.

A lot of top down game can get away with just 2 directions characters, but that entirely depends on the game though.
