I've got a half finished walking animation done for Player 1, along with some other sprites. A half finished living room, which half of it needs to be turned into a kitchen, and then expanded from there. All the doors will be cut-out of the room graphics so I can create an individual graphics of doors with a circle that both players have to step in that triggers them out of a house, since this is currently a two player only game. Apart from using Gimp to make images transparent, I'm doing all my pixel art in MSPaint. Animation is all trial and error, made easier by a little beer. I have a lot of youtube programming tutorials for Gamemaker, so I'll cross my fingers they'll be helpful when the time comes.
