Thanks so much for this lovely comment! glad you like my set, I was a bit nervous about it haha but you basically picked all the ones I don't hate in my set :p
glad you like the texture use on Gary; the idea was to represent the signals he can read but I'm not sure how clearly I got that across :D

wow! How did you so this?? You have to show me :D

thanks! I don't think there's any special technique to it though, it's just basic animation. with simon on different opacities so het gets more transparent and then visible again. the trick is to do it in steps, with as many frames as you can fit into the 40kb file size. mine would look smoother too if I had done that I think, but I was too lazy to add more than a couple. :p
