Improve Cat texture

[RamsesCaesar]

The cat has a flat orange coat. It should have dots or stripes. Also it needs shades and accents. Making a color palette for it would be useful. The animations should also be reviewed.

[RamsesCaesar]

The cat still looks too much like a fox. My next big task is to redo the entire player sprite sheet. This will take several hours. I will make the new sprite as similar to the old one as possible.
I'll watch some YouTube tutorials to give me a better theoretical foundation for the animation. (It's quite a complex skill)

[RamsesCaesar]

This is a prototype with shadows and a brighter snout that I probably won't continue.
Instead, I'll redraw the sprite from scratch. It's the central element of the game, so it warrants the time spent for such a task.

I watched this video. It had some useful new information about the pixel art program Aseprite that I'm using.

A sneak peak into the very first stage of a new animation. All the body parts are seperate and color-coded in this stage.

This is another preview of the animation progress. It takes a long time, but it's worthwhile to learn the skill.

[RamsesCaesar]

Another more flabby animation. This is a lot of trial and error.

Back more than three weeks later...
Animation is hard, man. I'm trying out something new as this current approach is too time-consuming. I'll post the result here later.

New Commit: b13bde4a4ab368c82c370db89e03aefdaafcf474 I added a new right walking animation. I want to make such slow but steady progress going forward.

[RamsesCaesar]

The new animation looks like this:
Its much more cat-like. I like it. :)

The cat now has all its animations replaced and therefore this issue is completed:
