I try to find workarounds, but I keep coming back to the problem of the toaster. WHO CAN DRAW A TOASTER AD SPARE ME THE PAIN OF ASKING A GUY TO DO SPRITES FOR ME!?!?

What kind of toaster? Do you mean the white ones with the two slats?

Also, how's this for a (not animating unless someone bothers to animate it) base sprite for characters? This guy could be the Hero.
What about something like this?

Qloof, how do I make your thingy transparent without right-clicking on it? This forum stopped accepting my right-clicks recently. :x

Save it with a file ending that supports transparency. I think PNG might work.

DP. If I had GM7 I could just turn the white green.

OH WHY DID I UPGRADE.

Sorry, but as I am interested I must wake this topic up.

Me and my Brother are pretty good at drawing sprites, but not the best of course. May I volunteer?
To Shorty, who was immortalized in an adventure.
To Marinus, who was my community older brother.
To Janet, who I will remember every time I wear a toque.

May these lost Wonderlanders find true adventure beyond us.

Sure. :D

CURRENTLY NEEDED (and suppliers):

A toaster (MNI-No, he's evil. MyNameIsKooky?)
2 or 3 different hut types. (???)
A well. (???)
Village Theme (Theme = Background/Ground/Possibly Miscellaneous Scenery) (???)
Forest Theme (???)
Crater Theme (???)
Lab Theme (???)
Village Music (Theox if he gets around to it I guess I dunno)
Forest and Crater Music (TheoX if he gets around to it I guess I dunno)
Boss Music (No bosses except the last two planned yet, but I think I'll want to have some.)

ENGINE I WANT:

I want a semi-explorable world rather than linear-ness or a world map or something. I also want scrolling, but making everything one room would be a PAIN. I might do scrolling levels where you are teleported somewhere else once you leave the edge. If I can figure out how to do that.

Yeah, the only solution I can see is someone getting me the outdated version of GM.

That's right.

"I'll consider it."
-MNI-No, he's evil.

I don't want to make this game too Pokemonny or anything, though.

ONCE AGAIN, CALLING PEOPLE WHO EITHER CAN GIVE ME GM7 OR KNOW HOW TO MAKE IMAGES TRANSPARENT IN GM8. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE. HELP. THANKS.

Just use the eraser in the sprite editor to make them transparent.

You have to erase ALL of the stuff you don't want so it has these white and gray checkerboard pattern where you want it to be transparent.

That's why I liked GM7, all you have to do was fill it with green and it's transparent. But I was a fool and went and upgraded.

*waiting for Sammy_P to post Mega Man music and tails to post Sonic music*

I stink at both not missing anything and not shooting holes in my sprite.

Then use the undo button (CTRL+Z) or something if you mess up.

OK, I'll try again as soon as I get the thingy again, my mom made the background the same color as the outline.
