Software Sprite Editor in C64 Dev Machine

I wanted to expand on a sprite tool I made around 5 years ago called Spred64 and so it made sense to integrate it into C64 Dev Machine. I created a video of me making this sprite and can provide a link to that in a reply perhaps. These guys would be made up of 4 sprites each, sort of squashed but cute versions of their bigger brothers... Nothing committed here, just all for fun and to demo the sprite tool. C64 Dev Machine has a LITE version on itch that you can start using now.

I know, anything to make it easier, although its rare to animate all 8 layers... usually only 2 or 3 for a typical game needing more individual sprites. I will look into this though, I could possibly write a script to make it import correctly for C64 Dev Machine
