Got to tinkering and ended up with two more plugins for #gbstudio, so if you were wanting to make something car- or tank-based, you're in luck!

Happy #screenshotsaturday! I doodled a couple niche scene types based on a bygone era for #gbstudio this morning, so I thought I'd share them with y'all. I don't know if they'd be useful to anyone, but feel free to play around with them!

Introducing a new #plugin for #GBStudio- Talking Actors and Dialogue Prompt Actors!
It's great for adding flair to visual novels and cutscenes. Talking Actors animate when dialogue is being written, and Dialogue Prompt Actors animate when dialogue is waiting for a button press.
