Indeed. I have a friend on PC who is a spriter and art student, and we talk to each other frequently about things like pixel art, school, forum and other daily life topics. We developed a strong friendship and she eventually offered to join my fangame team without me asking her to do so. She appeared to win an officially election a few months ago and became the head spriter. For me, my fangame is just a part of my life on the internet, and I try not to get too business-minded and goal-driven. Most of my game staff are actually my friends, so we get along well.
Anyway, what is your plan for your next sprite?
