Animation Editor

Two things kinda irking me with the Animation Editor:
First thing is, that I kinda wished you could choose around what point something rotates. From what I saw, you could only rotate a bone around the middle of it.  In many cases, though, it'd be much easier to rotate them around the point where they actually connect to something.

The other thing, which I already mentioned in the chat, is that quitting the Animation Editor will bring you back to the title screen, instead of your mod. Maybe I'm just closing it the wrong way, but it would be better if it would automatically start the mod you came from again.

you can adjust the rotation point, but you have to edit the xml by setting the internal offset. there's no GUI way to do it yet.

Yeah, currently it boots you out to the title screen.. it would be nice if it could reload the level you were last on.

Are these two issues going to be fixed in the near future? I realize that a well deserved vacation in Australia is going to put updates on hold for awhile, specially for a developement team of only two people. I'm also having issues with the stretch and shrink commands not working in the editor. Also the particle section of the editor could use some attention, for example a GUI. I started a mod called Aquaria: Lost Treasures. So far the only thing completed is the title map. I'll post a screenshot asap.  ::)

Give people a break  ;). The world doesn't end for developers on making games 24/7 :)

Finally, someone has started to do something, really  :). I'm holding tumbs up for it. As for me, I started to work on a mod too, but I'm at the idea point now, still working on the storyline, so far. I can only say it will be somehow connected with original story and there will be new characters. And there also will be a quite different main character  ;) We will see, what time will bring to this project...
