By the way Dogwaffle looks really badass

Also irbis, what the hell is charas.EX ? i maybe too dumb to understand..

It will be nice to find some stuff for music & sounds now

charas.EX is for anybody who needs character sprites but for some reason dont have/cant have them.

its like a custome character creation where you can create the characters of your needs from pre-made parts.

FileZilla (Great FTP client. Has a server client as well though I havent tried it)

charas.EX is for anybody who needs character sprites but for some reason dont have/cant have them.

That's not gonna help much

i dont know what else can i add O.o

Anybody needs character graphics/sprites at some point or another.

This software provides youwith them. You can change skin, eyes, hairs, body, head, clots, weapons, accesories ect. You can make various diffrent characters with Charas.EX. Monster characters, human characters, beasts characters ect

the lone downside is perhaps that the resolution is rather small, characters have only 4 direction related views (up,down,left,right), theres no custome animation except walking and the walking itself has just 3 animation frames. Oh and perhaps that the graphics are very jRPG style (Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Xenogear, Star Ocean ect) which not everybody likes.

Still, for a guy like me, with no drawing talents - its better then nothing.

Its by far the simplest and most user-friendly method of obtaining character graphics for your game which arent riped off from another game.

Ooh nvm i tought u meant the prog was not working atm !

I tried it and indeed its quite sympathic
