Summary:

This month, we're going to be working on creating a comprehensive set of Tamagotchi-style animations for a single character, ready to use in any game. At the end of the month, we'll have a full set of animations for a little desktop pet capable of walking, talking, eating, sleeping, frolicking, and generally being cute.

We'll be working on a different set of animations each week, so you can join in at any time.

Our theme this week is: Idle Animations!
