Hi! I'm looking to add NPC's to my game for a verity of things, but am have run into an issue with creating the sprites. Is it possible to make a farmer save file and extract the sprite to be a new NPC? Or does anyone have a tutorial I can look at for this? The project I have in mind will take quite a bit of time as is, and I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thank you, Vel
