This is the product of a few of the Mag members in the chat one day talking about ideas for RPG Maker 1. Insultobot came up with the idea of somehow making portraits for dialog boxes when people speak.

So I got together some of the images I had commissioned for my game and shrunk them down to sprite size, and Ixzion was so kind as to format them to where they didn't lose ALL their quality when moved to RPG Maker.

This is what I came up with. I believe that someone could, in fact, build an entire game using this method. You can fit up to 9 portraits on a single sprite sheet. And as long as someone is careful with how they place them, it should all work out just fine. There is no password, so go in on edit mode and poke around.
