After rethinking the complete code responsible for triggering the right animation for the right keyboard/mouse input I ended up having to redo about 30 Animations (fortunately not all from scratch :) and add another 40 new ones (mostly it's three animation for one action: doing something while standing/walking forwards/walking backwards)...but once that's done I can move on to drawing backgrounds, items, equipment, etc (while I may not be particularly good at drawing at least it's not as doing animations in triplicate) ^^

In unrelated news, I haven't forgotten about Carmen's newborn cubs...just been busy animating or following other spontaneous inspirations :>
