Please, Quinn, it's not actually ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY WITH ALL CAPS TO GET DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Kraklaw isn't coming out until the final game. There is plenty of other things to do before then, and I'm spending enough time trying to get on Topaz in the first place with this whole connection timed out issue.
As for the sprites X-Antibody made, IIRC (I clicked the link and the page didn't load, I'm sure it's working but I can't view it right now) there wasn't even very much opinion on it. Look towards getting more general approval. (I also want to finish off my own version)
