Sorry for the late reply, just noticed we had some pending posts we needed to manually approve!
I think this happened in an update since you originally posted this, but you can now save the sprite you are working on with a different name and it won't overwrite the original save file. So Save 'Mao_Summer' then change the outfit into winter clothes and save it as 'Mao_Winter' and both sprites should be in your saved sprites list!

I'm actually adding a head selector soon, so I definitely can play around with head shapes! I will also add some beefier arms for you that look beefy from all angles.

Sorry for the late reply, just noticed we had some pending posts we needed to manually approve. Sure, I'll add the gun animations to my list! It probably won't be in the 1st battle animation update, most likely in the 2nd update when I do the ranged attacks! As for a zombie walk/idle,  if I were to add something like that, it would come after I finish all of the main animations for this tool. But I think an "enemy" animation pack would be cool in the future!

Thanks for catching that! I'll get that fixed and put it in the next update.

Thanks for the suggestion! Once I finish up the current sprite style, I would like to do other sprite styles!

if you want a certain hair color or certain shirt equipped, you can lock the sprites/palettes and still use the random function! Unlock all is just a quick way to unlock without searching for everything you previously locked.

Thank you so much for the amazing suggestions! I will add them to my list.

that’s awesome!! 

I am currently working on the Battle Animation 1 update! It will include: a slash attack animation, hurt animation, downed animation, and death animation.

I’ll add it to my list and see what I can do! In your other post you mention combat poses, are you talking about the combat animation itself or like a cool pose with the weapons? 

I am currently working on combat animations. There is a sword slash but I think bow combat will come in the 2nd combat animation update

Thank you very much! I’ll add these to my list of suggestions!

Hey, just saw this, I will add those to my list! Fencing poses would probably come in the 2nd Battle animation update

What a great game! Only managed to help 1 ghost but I still had fun trying to guess!

What a cozy game! Love the vibes. It was a lot of fun figuring out the recipe.

by sitted, do you mean actually sitting on the ground? Or would a downed onto one knee situation be okay? For battle animations, there will be that downed on one knee animation and a lying on ground animation, so you could definitely reverse the frames when they are out! If need sitting on the ground, I can add that to the daily life animation list.

What a cute idea to have her casting candy!! Great work!

Really great game! I laughed on one of the levels when the helper cat said "I can't help you with that."

This was so much fun! Awesome job! 

I'm glad you like the tool! I am currently working on battle animations, I'll be sure to add archer/mage animations to it though they may come in a 2nd update if it's taking me too long.

So glad you are liking the tool! We are currently working on adding custom sprites and are aiming for the end of the year. 
I'll take a look at how we can add offset sprites without adding a bunch of "duplicate" versions like I did with eyes and eyebrows because I agree it would open the customization up even more!

Not sure if you've seen it yet but cat ears were added to the most recent update!

This is something I've been asking for as well! I'll get it moved up on the list.

I wanted to make dialogue portraits that match the sprites! I’m currently practicing portraits because I haven’t found a look that speaks to me yet. 

Animal tails (and other ears) are coming! A fish tail or shark fin would be super cool. I'll add it to my list!

Thank you so much!! I just started working on the Battle Animation Update (1h Slash, 2h Slam, dash, hurt, downed, and death), so there will eventually be swords. When the update releases, there will only be 1 basic weapon of each type (thinking sword, axe, and dagger atm) that you will be able to recolor just like the tools. I do plan on adding other weapon/tool styles to choose from at some point. You can currently export walk and run (and single frame idle) from the tool but we are working on exporting all animations for rpg maker. 

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like the tool. I will be adding more animal ears and tails, probably in the next customization update. I will also be adding a 2nd head accessory section, so you will be able to layer the ears on top of hats or underneath bows.

A hood is on the list! I'll have it ready for the next mini customization update.

Thank you so much! Haha, yeah... I almost lost my mind working on this update. Feels great to be done!!

It's on the list! Glad you are liking the tool!

The hair is done and the combo is Bangs 014 and Side 016. The eyes have also been recolored and changed to have their own palette instead of sharing the universal palette with the other assets. These will be added in the next update. We ran into some issues adding the tools to the creator, so it is taking a little longer than I planned but we are almost done fixing that! 

I'm glad you like the sprites! I'll add those to my list for you! If they aren't ready for this upcoming update, I'll definitely get them in the next one!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm actually working on that right now and it will be up in the next update.

So glad you are liking the tool!
Basic Armor and Weapons will probably come in the Battle animation update! Were there specific armor/weapon animations you are looking for?

First, that looks awesome besides the obvious size differences! Sorry you are running into issues with matching your tiles. :(
If I am understanding correctly, I think the only solution would be to increase your tile size so they can scale x2 like the character sprites. I know, way easier said than done.

I definitely want to add some leather and metal armor! The farming animation update is coming in the next week or so, so after that I will work on another customization update. I will add this to my list for that customization update. Feel free to leave any specific suggestions/references for what you want to see!

I will work on this hair and have it ready for the animation update (might be next week!). It may be split into 2 hair sections (Bangs and Side Hair), so I'll let you know what the combo is if I split it! 

For the eye colors, the whites of the eyes are currently hard colored (because it would mess up the universal palettes for like pants or hair). I will need to do some rearranging with the palettes and recolor the sprites first! I'll also aim to have that done for the next update.

Edit: Would you also like an ear option added that includes an outline? 

I will work on updating the eye palettes so you can fully adjust all colors!
At this moment, I am not sure  how to add an outline to the creator but I will look into that.

This is just a rough attempt on the hairstyle but how does something like this look? I also raised the eyes up on the left sprite which kind of gives the illusion of a longer face? I could add some higher eyes if that works for you! At this point I am not sure when or if I will get into head shapes. After I finish all the animations for this body type, I would like to add different body types (which would include shorter sprites for kids). 

This ponytail will be including in the upcoming animation update! Thoughts? I will probably add lower and short ponytails eventually.

Are you looking for torch holding that include the Idle, Walk, Run animations? Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my list!
