Johnny is often offline
I worked with him to complete phantom sprites and I contacted somm to code it
I send him every progress we reach with phantom and I sent him the final version but he was offline
Few months ago I spoke with Johnny and he said our phantom is great character but he has got other concept of phantom
Now try to make a new version following his ideas and his plans... But if he is offline I think he will work on phantom on his free time and you can concentrate in new characters
