Art Revamp & Inventory System
I'm back! After a, well, long hiatus I am back with some big changes! First off, I revamped all of the Hero's sprites and condensed them into a neat spritesheet. Don't get me wrong... but I liked the amount of detail I drew for the Hero but it was inefficient and way...
