Hello LubeyGTC, when I started Rogue Adventure, my main goal was to use 2-directional sprites with floating weapons, as I had seen in many other games. I decided to add weapons to the characters to make them useful in platformers and top-down games, so the characters will not have 4 directions.
In the future, I may add characters without arms to the pack, allowing you to use weapons as their arms, which was my initial goal.
