Thanks Nether, Theoden, Weston! :D

Thanks! Yeah I'm able to get away with pretty quick animations for the small sprites... some of the bigger ones though... man can take like several hours for just a few frames. I personally hate idle and walk / run cycle animations the most. It's so easy to see that something is wrong with those (when there is something wrong) just cuz of the looping nature I think.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I find walk cycles to be one of the most difficult things to animate... so I think it's reasonable that they take longer XD This was a pretty simple bobbing up and down animation and a lot of the frames are copies of one another. 

Thanks for the feedback about the motion blur trails guys, I'm not 100% sure I agree here. I've tried it with a trail it doesn't look quite as hot :( I usually reserve trails for attack animations where collision and extra emphasis on heavy stuff is needed. That's just preference though. I definitely respect where you're coming from.

Hey CritiqueMyWork. To me... it's tough as nails, has a heavy focus on combat. XD OH and it has to be dark!

Thanks! I haven't uploaded here. There's some in game video gif on my twitter pin. Maybe I should upload the old for comparison here?

Colors and animation are both so good!

Oh woah! Holy crappers haha, I just clicked to snoop your profile XD Adam Kling :O Huge fan of your stuff dude! Also great youtube tut on the scientist! I definitely learned quite a bit from it.
