I was wondering what the best approach would be if i intend to have the gear being shown visually instead of making a Sprite for each and every gear combination? 😅
Looking for leads on where to go.

If you don't get any traction in forum -
people that enjoy that kind of questions (but rarely show up here) may be found in #game_design (and #gamedev )
May be worth specifying what kind of game you have in mind, what view (top-down, side), optionally - what parts of character are going to be affected, how do you plan to animate it.

Generally what you do is draw each piece of gear separately, and then draw the sprites layered on top of eachother. So first you draw the base gearless character, then draw the armor, then the helmet, then the weapon, etc.
