we don't need 180 sprites, probably around 3 will do to distinguish between aiming up and aiming perfectly horizontal (slouching) and aiming down
This doesn't fix the floating hands issue, but it does make the sprites look a bit more active

Well, if it were the entire torso sprite (rather than just the weapon), the floating hands thing is a non-issue. Also for your consideration,  If we make a sprite for each cardinal and intercardinal direction (8 frames)(45, 90, and etcetera), we can make it so each frame covers 15 degrees above and below them. Therefore, if someone is aiming 75 to 105 degrees (the blue area), their sprite will be aiming upward. We would only need eight frames for this, or realistically four since it's probably just gonna be flipped or something. The only problem is a class like say, the Heavy. That minigun is fucking huge and it might just be easier to have a separate sprite in that case. That's besides the point, what I'm getting at is the relatively low number of sprites we'd need. |

The idea of having frames for aiming gives sprite modders something new to work with. It could always be a togglable option, of course, so low-level sprite modders can work with the old system.

You'd then have snapping when aiming between two areas. Also, we'd still need a lot more sprites, and it'll grow even bigger with more weapons, since you'll need a new set of torso for each different weapon. |

you don't need extra gun sprites to fix the detached arm problem, only extra torso sprites that roughly approximate where the lower arm plus gun connect to the upper arm plus bent torso.
oh god I'm a genius

Uhh...yeah?
Anyways, the current progress is at the point where we have a working engine, a working networking, and some mostly working graphics (works, but depth still isn't solved).
In other words, you can now join a server and jump around, shooting. Since there aren't any teams nor map modes yet, you can't do much, but still. The framework is there.
I'm not going to give a percentage, sorry.
