Character creation guide - hawkthorne/hawkthorne-journey GitHub Wiki

Creating a custom character for Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne is easy. All new characters must have the following sprites before they back be accepted into the game. Sprites must be 48 * 48 pixels in size. Your final sheet should look similar to Abed's sprite sheet and follow the master sprite sheet layout.

Once your character is complete, submit it to /r/hawkthorne or open a pull request.
