I'm a programmer, working on my first full featured game. It's a simple 2D sidescroller - platformer. It'll look and play similarly to megaman.
I know there are tools out there for spriting (I did look at the resources I promise!) however, I am trying to edit and adjust pre-existing sprite sheets. Some sheets are made in such a way that they show all the poses for a character, but they're not really conducive for using them for games. because there's no organization. Are there any easy ways to adjust them? I've tried doing it manually with gimp, but man it's a pain! I realize that if it's the only way, then my best options to either to man up and do it in gimp or to just rip the sprites myself and make a new sprite sheet.
Any suggestions?
