Quick import

1. Godot 4: copy the character folder into your project and assign its SpriteFrames to an AnimatedSprite2D.
2. Other engines: slice the PNG sheets using the cell size, row order (S, SE, E, NE, N, NW, W, SW) and FPS from the JSON.
3. Keep the supplied feet pivot so the character stands on the ground in every direction.
