It seems Akabane87 found out about our earlier coverage of SpriteMakerXP and decided to drop by the QJ forums. Akabane87 also happened to announce the release of SpriteMakerXP v1.02 for everyone, which brings two new abilities to the application.

For those who haven't heard of it, SpriteMakerXP is a program that creates sprites for you to use in homebrews and in RPG Maker XP.

Here's the list of additions to the application:

* you can now import png files and add some features in it
* you can configure the tiles' priority for all categories (which tile is blited first, second...)

Do note that the application itself has some limitations. Specifically, it's in French, so you guys may have to check a language translator online for some help in understanding the functions. That being said, have fun using the application!
