I've found out how to move the location of the turret around the hull, and how to move the commander so that he appears over his hatch, but can I change the point of rotation of the turret itself? The turret seems to rotate around the centre of the turret png but, because of the gun, this can make the rear of the turret swing outside of the hull. How can I change the centre of rotation of the turret please? Thank you

Extend the sprite with empty transparent space so that the center of the sprite (including the space) is the pivot point of the turret.

Take a look at some of the base game sprites to see what I mean. Notice how the turret sprite ends at the gun at the top but extends past it at the bottom? That's how you adjust the point around where the turret will turn.

Brilliant! Did the trick!
Thank you for your prompt and useful response.

Cheers

Very nice tutorial, the sprites look so sharp and colorful, full of details.

Is there a guide showing how to make a sprite from scratch? maybe using a 3D model or a schematics image?

Thanks!
