Just wanted to pop in and give you all a small example of what I'm working on, so that it will make sense when I say that it's going to take a while. This sprite overall is massive, and it's not even the only one of its size I'll need for V1.9, so I wouldn't expect a new version for a while, unless a miracle happens and I can go back to spending a proper chunk of my time modding instead of trying to keep myself fiscally solvent.
But until then, at least know that progress *IS* being made, if slowly.
