how can i make a 2d characther for a metroidvania and what software i must use
i seen characther made with spriterr but look hard for me :confused:
thanks in advance

You can use any software. Spriter is good if your graphics are good and want to make complex and good looking animations.
If you stay 8- or 16-bit (like in nes or snes games) graphics, any program is good. Example Gimp is quite good.
