[GIT] Squirrel

Despite working on a few other things, I've also been working on a squirrel sprite I was playing around with on the Log Monster Redo thread.

: There's no attack or up down scurry movements yet, that's what's left to do.; squirrel-test-noattack.png (14.76 KiB) Viewed 1941 times

I have to add in a basic attack animation (yes another biting monster, and similar to the fluffy in movement, but ambient for the more wooded areas

).

After adding in the incomplete sprite sheet example, I just realized I need to address the shadow another way if I'm going to make this dyeable

!

there are 2 options:

Use a different dye channel for the sprite, like using the green channel instead of the grey
Use a colour like RGB(0,0,1) for the shadow

Don't we only use shadows for flying things?

It's jumping, isn't that almost the same as flying?

Jumping is a border case

Snakes have a shadow too.

We need to make a decision about shadow and fix existing sprites. But for now, use something just off gray for this shadow.

Complete!
Here's the sprite sheet:

and if you want to test it out with a dye machup, try this one:
