Could I use Flash Animation for Openbor?

[TiClaStudios]

If I animated sprites using Adobe Flash (or drew backgrounds/levels using Photoshop), and exported each frame as a gif through the bor palette, would They still work even though the "sprites" aren't pixelated?

Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to answer.

Yes. Check out my games that use digitized sprites

Thanks, they're really good!

Is animating the character/enemy sprites BEFORE working on the mod a good idea?

I'd say it's a good idea. By animating, you can see how the character animates before being played in game
If you can use single offset for all sprites, you can save yourself some time setting bbox, offset and attackbox

Animating before you start coding is a good idea , just have some plan so you know how many animations you need , It will be easier to add new animations once most of the basic ones are done.
