Yes these are designed for a side-view RPG battle system. If you want full four-direction combat, check out my new Elements set. Thanks

Hi, great work. I bought this set on Komodo Plaza and I must have missed the part where the topdown animation is not 4 directions. Further complicating things, I see now that the license is limited to RPG Maker. If that's not enough, I have since removed Windows from my laptop because it was getting on my last nerve, in favor of Linux. So then, does Elements have these characters and will it run on Linux? If not, should I repurchase this set, and try redrawing the sprites with your guide, or do you have plans of updating this one in the future? And do you have any 8-directional models?
I decided to repurchase this set, so there's no license issue with RPG Maker. And it looks like the Elements character generator won't work with Linux, even if it has these characters. I'll try my best to add the missing directions, but I'd rather see an update if at all possible. I doubt I can create it as well as you could, but at least I have your base drawings to work with. All that said, it's a small price to pay to support your efforts, since the first time I bought this set, it was on sale.
