AH, dtek, that's awesome! Thanks for the edit, I'll definitely implement some more hair animation like that!

KittenMaster, I understand where you're coming from, but at the same time, I can't think of any way to get rid of the black that would look better in the style that I've established. Perhaps when I add more elements to the game world, I'll get a better sense of how to make the atmosphere more cohesive.
Sorry there haven't been any updates for a while! I've put the project on hold until I've finished my art/design portfolios for college apps....
I'll be back at it after the 15th!
