Lone Crusader - artTest

Quick art test of 8-directional diablo-esque sprites with rotatable camera. 

Conclusions:
-Facing direction is hard to read due to the nature of the discrete rotations and thus makes precise combat or anything dependent on direction feel bad. 
-Characters that are not thin and tall, eg: Horse, don't work well as the snapping between view directions is too jarring.
