would it not be possible to do only two directions (north-east and south-west) instead of four? 4 extra frames is a big jump in work.

There's also Knald (https://www.knaldtech.com/) which is sort of a CrazyBump replacement, but is actively being developed.
2 Vs 4...

Using 4 frames is much more verbose and averages out any error. You can also do 2 drawings, simply the horizontal and vertical but use 3 tones per channel (dark, light, midtone). The downside is you'll need to manage the transitions carefully or it might be easy to end up with pillow shading. I think it's easier for a lot of people to break it down into 2 seperate lights per channel mentally -- addition is more how light is supposed to work. If you're an experienced painter you can simply do the X/Y axis. I think using only 2 channels in a opposite diagonal way means the artist needs to manage his midtone very carefully and the program's heuristic might screw up.
Anyway, this is a bit of a chicken egg problem also. I did try the handpainting normal sprites once, but the issue was there were no easy 2.5D engines available I could test it with. And I'm too stupid to program something myself.

Nowadays one could just take some more photos and generate a 3D model instead.
Yeah,

I remember downloading the shareware version from AOL over a 14.4 modem (or was it a 9600 ?). It took hours. Didn't do anything but play Doom for weeks after.

Thanks Mr. S. I do appreciate it.
Thankfully Mr. Night, Mr. Shade, Mr. Hand, and Mr. Glove are all still here:

I went with a very broad sense of ancient Egypt, places beyond worlds, and general weirdness. Mr. L.'s story "Nyarlathotep" is nightmarishly suggestive, and I'd like to see more tries at it.
