@ChristianEs: Thanks! Ya, I'm using a very similar set up to the link you sent me, I looked at that before when I was first starting out. Any specific areas where you're noticing bad sprite borders? Because I've been making sure I edit any out after I take the photos, and so far I thought it was working well. There are definitely some that still need work, but I'm curious to see if you had any specifically in mind that you noticed that I overlooked.
@ NickamonPoppytail: Ya, I read that page countless times lol. I have loading screens already, but on some computers(ones that should be more than capable of loading a lot of game assets), they are pretty bad for a game this size. Idk, it doesn't seem that complicated but I just cant figure out some things, like do I even need to use the "load/unload atlas" blocks, or should I be fine only doing it through settings? Also the initial boot up (where it's a black screen with white box, ie before the first scene of the game) of the game takes FOREVER on some computers(more than 2 minutes), and haven't been able to fix that yet. I checked all the forums, but they're either too old or not really what I'm looking for. That said, It's really not that much of a hurdle, I'm probably just over-thinking it. I'll figure it out soon.
