Another thing I noticed is that on the Blacksmith Package there is an Example 04.gif where the Blacksmith Character has like a Zelda like obtain animaton and also the sparkly hammer above him, however I could find neither of these as sprites. This would also be a great addition for characters to have for the first time they obtain a weapon. Of course it would probably be troublesome to add for all character sprites, so maybe do it for the Hero01 only, because I chose him to use. It would be interesting as he could obtain the sword, the hammer and the upcoming pickaxe as well in a glorious way. Thanks again! For me April is fine, since I will have the most free time starting in early May.
Good luck on your current project!
