I'll check out ZX. Thanks for the help!

I was having problems with GIMP, but I realised that that was with the .PCX files. I'll try and see if it works.

You should check out E02. It's great. It can handle hundreds of objects on the screen at the same time with the only lag being in the loading! It's absolutely amazing.

I'm working on a Sonic fangame that doesn't star Sonic. My idea is an exploration-based game. Essentially, you start with 2 jumps (you can jump at any time you have a jump left on your meter. walking off a cliff doesn't take away a jump, so you could get some rings below a platform and then double-jump back up onto the platform). There's a Chaos Emerald that grants you another jump. Lives and the time over are gone. Lava puts your rings at zero but can't kill you (explained ingame). There's another Chaos Emerald that gives you the Flame Shield's ability. I'm thinking of going somewhat Metroid-style rather than level-style. My problem is this: I can't exactly approach level design from the standard Sonic angle. I don't want to make it play like Metroid, either. As far as exploring, yeah, but I want it to feel like a Sonic game. Does anyone have any design tips?

I'm working on a fangame. I need some sprites for Blaze the Cat. I found a sprite sheet on the internet (rehosted here), and need someone who's decent with .tga to put these sprites into these .tga files for me. The .tga files contain Sonic sprites. If there's no sprite that fits a particular pose, don't worry, skip it. If there's a sprite on the sheet that has no equal in the .tgas, don't worry. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
