Wingcat's wing sprites have 9 frames, split up into 3 groups that are layered on top of eachother in-game.

Only one of these groups needs to actually have any sprites in them, but if you want to be able to colour the parts separately in-game then you should use 2 or 3.



Group A has the highest layer priority, while group B has the lowest

(feel free to use this template by the way)

For the sake of ease of viewing, I have layered the wing sprites to appear how they would in-game.


Frames are used as follows:
Not flying/gliding: 8
Initiating flight/glide: 7 > 1
Exiting flight/glide: 1 > 7
Gliding: 9
Flying: 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 (repeats)
Flying (jump not held): 3

You should avoid using steep angles in your sprites, as the wing sprites rotate based on vertical speed while flying in-game. This is particularly important in frame 3, as it is most likely to be noticed in-game.

Having too steep of an angle will cause obvious and frequent clipping. You shouldn't worry too much though, as even the default sprites suffer from clipping issues at times.

As a general rule of thumb, try to not exceed the angle that the default frame 3 uses.
