Description

The PlayStation version had birds in town. It would be nice to also have this as an option.

Rendered all angles: raven-8bit.zip (you can use pngs2cel to convert it to cl2)

You will need to split up the different animation cycles before converting as they are just done as one continuous animation in a single folder.

Birds should be lightly spread over town and fly away when players get close. Probably implemented as a towner similar to cows.
