Slight change of plan. I may not get the first update out this weekend. I'll explain why.
The renders came out okay. But... that's just it, They came out "okay".
I now understand a bit more about how people make background images look so smooth in their games. So, I am going to redo all of the backgrounds, characters and how they are presented in the UI.
I hated the way the animations looked over a .png background. I am currently rebuilding all of the scenes with the background as part of the images. I feel the look and smoothness adds to the emersion of the game. Here is a bit of what I am talking about. Let me know what you think!
This is how I started. Not fluid... not smooth.

This is what I am working on now. It's way smoother and the characters look like they are more part of the scene, than images over a scene.

Obviously this will take me a lot longer, as I have to render every individual frame change and not just have a background floating for a whole scene.
That being said. Give me some time to pump these out. I think you all will be happy with the difference.
