We are only a team of three people and between us we don't really have that much spare time, we only do game development as a hobby.

What would be the most efficient way to make sprite sheets for use with programs such as game maker. Just basic movement and actions.

    It's not clear what you need help with. Do you need to generate sprite-sheets from existing images/animations? Or do you need help creating the animations in the first place? Your question could use some clarification in that regard. – bummzack Jun 21 '12 at 11:54

The most efficient way to make sprite sheets is to use pre-existing sprite sheets. You'll find an extensive list of pre-made sprite sheets here (always consult a lawyer and ask the copyright holders for permission when using content found on the internet)

Here are some other ways to efficiently make sprite sheets:

  • Limit your sprites to simple shapes only (squares, circles, etc.)
  • Constrain your sprites to 1 - 8 pixels
  • Hire an artist to make sprites
  • Make friends with an artist and get them to make sprites for free
  • Modify the sprite sheets found in the above link to fit your purposes
