Here's a sample of the NPCs I've been putting together.

Creating ne NPCs was  fun process and a little quicker than I was expecting since I had pre-existing sprites I could modify into new ones. In GB Studio news, the 2.0 beta was just released which I am really exited about. This update adds a broader color palette, support for larger backgrounds and the ability to create more genres like platformers or shooters. I probably won't be using the expanded colors in this project since I think the super limited greyscale palette is helpful for me learning sprite art, but I will absolutely be utilizing the larger backgrounds and the expanded gameplay for a couple sections. 

That's all for now. Until next time, have a great weekend!
