    Hello all!! I'm working on a 2D rogue like game much like Zelda Link to the Past and Bastion. Here are a couple example mock ups using sprites I've created.

    I'm about to begin hunting for a programmer that can take character sprites and link all the movements together.

    I have idles, runs, attacks, blocks, jumps, etc. I would like each character to move in 8 directions ideally.

    I'm mostly wondering what can I expect during the process, and how involved is it program animations for a simple trailer video? I want to be able to have the character do his thing and fight some enemies here and there.

    Any insight on what the workload for programming a character is would be really appreciated. I'm an artist by trade, and so the technical side is quite new to me.

    Thanks!
