Whoops, added v2.0.

Yep, anything can be used- so long as it's credited if the creator requests.

I just had a question about assets, can we use things like custom sprites from the sprite resource threads? (With credit) or is it limited to canon/our own custom assets?
Judging from prior competitions, if a custom sprite is openly posted and available on these forums, then it's fine to be used in a case with credit.
Correct.

Also agreeing with this. I'll take a couple days to get my own thoughts in order before putting a topic up. Nudge me if there's nothing up in 72 hours. I'm in a weird position where time is tight.

I see people sharing previews of their case, so here's a glimpse at our opening.

I'm slowly working out how to use the v6 editor. I find selecting sfx and music takes a couple of tries before it registers. (Also getting into the habit of hiding the last character when you switch to another character talking).

The trick is to click on the textbox after selecting sfx.

The trick is to prepare a frame preset for every character, with no background, and with the hiding other character option on.

Wait, does AAO save frame presets? I thought they reset after a while or something.

They reset whenever you enter the editor (or save the changes in editor), but you can have prepared frames for presets and quickly save them as presets for the current use.

There were plans to let the editor remember your preset frames, but I think those fell through. I should look into that again.

I hate having to push back deadlines, but work has been rather hectic, so I'll ask for another three days.
