If you're still reading the comments on your projects: is there a way to use our (the community's) characters, making the sprites is easy enough, but I have no clue what the thumbs thing is supposed to be.

I'm not sure what your talking about...?

All you need are image files to make a character.

Oh, ok.

A couple questions: is there a specific amount of inflation sizes to have? 

Is the single coloured background required or can it be transparent?

And what is the thumbs file that some characters have?

I thought it was required or smth, so I tried opening it with note pad and it just had garbled nonsense all over it.

I think the "Thumbs" file is a leftover Windows file that ended up zipped with the character. It has something to do with image thumbnails on Windows.

The colored background is because GameMaker 7 dose not have support for images with alpha channels.

"SuperSized.gif" can have as many frames as you want.

I went ahead and added my old Gimp Tuts here for you to look at: https://hijoke.itch.io/extra-rig2-content/devlog/1502252/gimp-tuts-for-making-yo...

There is info there that can help when making your own character.

thank you so much, that actually really helps!
