Fun fact: In the oldest days of Demon, the player character was going to be a specific character (still nameable, but in the manner of JRPG characters where you picked then name, but the character was the same.) This is most obvious if you look at the original sprite set of them as opposed to Genimimax’s: by the time he was helping out, I’d already abandoned that idea so when he was working on the sprites I didn’t request that (which is why they vary a bit more.)

Rift Wizard, for example, gave me quite the headache at first. I eventually got used to it, but “got used to it” isn’t the kind of praise that justifies doubling the workload of making sprites.
