Heya, what kind of tile size would this fit with?
Hey. I would recommend either 16x16 or 32x32.
I love this pack and thank you for the follow back! I was wondering how I might be able to redraw or change the character to have a feminine frame for my character. Thank you :)
Also I would really appreciate another form of combat through dart or ranged weapon throwing as a suggestion!
Hey, I know I'm asking a lot but how did you make that dash in the example video like what did you use any motion or post-process?Thanks a lot.
I’m happy to answer any questions.
So for the dash, there are three main things I added to achieve this:
The afterimage trail. Essentially it is just a repeating timer that spawns a sprite that is a copy of the current players sprite at the current location and fades out. Once it is finished fading out, it destroys itself. It also has a tint color added to it.
The second is a post processing shockwave/ripple effect with chromatic aberration. It plays the shockwave/ripple at the characters center point and goes outwards to the end of the screen.
A small camera shake and a little bit of hitstop.
Combining those three effects together should get a result like in the video. I hope this is helpful.
Thanks for caring about all that questions. What can I say,thanks for everything.
Of course, anytime :)
It’s me again :) Can you please check my messages on Instagram?
I don’t seem to see any messages on Instagram. Just to make sure, did you send it to dead_revolver?
Hello, I will be honest this looks insane and I want to ask Could you make a hit impact sprites please? Thank you :)
Hey, thanks :) There are 2 hit impact sprites included already. Or am I maybe misunderstanding what type of hit impact you wanted?
I want a hit impact which is looks like an X or a long straight line and I think its better for sword hits.I can share an example for you.
Ah, I get what you mean. Great idea, I’ll add that to the list - thanks for the suggestion :)
You are the best.
Thanks!
I want to make payment for it, but I cannot use PayPal. Are there any other payment methods?
I love this asset. Thank you for all the hard work you've put in. I went ahead and but the whole platforming bundle.
Thanks so much, this really means a ton to me! I appreciate it and will definitely add the continuous roll to the request list.
oh thanks, i was thinking some sort of wall splatter would be cool too. Regardless, i really appreciate the hard work you are doing here. Everyone's games are better bc of you
That is also a great idea, and I’ve added that. Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Can you add a swimming animation? Here is the reference
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qfkyMLrEgHFWJsaGlUy_L0iF-9sFllC8?usp=dri...
Your game prototype looks great! Swimming is on the animation request list so I will be adding that as soon as the other requests are done. Thank you very much for the suggestion.
Hey :) Thanks for the suggestions. Some of them (like healing, planting/cutting and new enemy types) are already planned, but the lying down/relaxing and getting up animations have now been added to the request list. Thanks.
Hi, this is an amazing asset! I have a question about your license:
Am I allowed to use these sprites as a foundation for my character creation tool? I plan to draw all the clothes, helmets, masks, eyes, etc., myself and combine them to create the tool. This tool may be sold in the future.
I won’t include your sprites directly in the tool, and all assets within the tool will be encrypted.
Thank you!
Hi, yeah that’s perfectly fine and sounds like a cool idea!
https://nordle.itch.io/null-path
Let's goooooo!! I am also building a lot of the lore around this character design, I love it so much <3
This is insanely cool and well done, I love it!!
Thank you so much that means a lot!
Hi! Does this pack also contain top-down sprites?
Hey. This is currently only platformer sprites, but I do plan on creating top-down sprites in the near future.
I love your asset! Quick question: what frame rate (FPS) did you use for each animation?
Thanks so much. For the animation lengths and frames per second, you can view that in the Aseprite file for each animation by right-clicking on the cel and clicking on Frame Properties. I hope this helps.
Yeah, thank you so much !
You’re welcome :)
Another question, can you add an WallKick and WallLand Animation ?
Added to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey, these looks awesome!!!!
I'm not great at the art part, how straight forward it would be to skin these? Do you have a tutorial?
Hey, thanks so much!
I don’t have a tutorial on that, but it should be pretty simple using this as a base to draw custom skins over. I would simply add another layer on top of the other layers in Aseprite and draw the custom designs over it.
Thanks I'll try, still working on a top down project, once that's wrapped up or taking a break :) will do that.
Awesome :)
Hello Dead Revolver Reporting a flaw in the "PixelArticleTablet"
I sent you a message on Instagram, please reply to my message so I can explain to you, I can't explain here because they will expose the loophole as you called it and they will steal the assets without paying the money
And thank you❤
Hi,
Thank you so much for letting me know.
I am not entirely sure what the “PixelArticleTablet” is so I just want to confirm?
I’ve sent a response via Instagram, and looking forward to your response.
Thanks again :) Dylan
Hello, I like your work very much, but I can't use PayPal payment here, do you have WeChat, are you willing to accept WeChat payment
Thanks, and sorry about that. If you can send me a message to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com I’d be happy to help with that.
Do you have or do you plan to add a ´Rifle´ animation?
I didn’t have that planned, but it’s a good idea and I’ve added it to the request list, thanks.
Fantastic
Thanks.
Awesome work and i cant wait for more animations! Is it possible to commission a few animations? :)
Thank you! Unfortunately, I don’t currently have enough spare time to take on any commissions, but I’ll happily add any suggestions you have to the roadmap for future animations if you want to. Sorry about that - I hope you understand :)
Very satisfied! The animations are dynamic and full of energy! The only slight regret I have is that I'm currently developing a farming game similar to Stardew Valley, and actions like mining, chopping wood, cutting grass, watering, planting seeds, and tilling soil are missing. Dead Revolver, would you consider adding these farming actions in a future update?
Thanks for that! Sorry about it not having those animations yet. They are on the list already (except for tiling soil, which I’ve added now). I have quite a bunch of requested animations to get through, but will do my best to get to this as soon as possible and will keep you posted. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi, awesome sprites! I found them extremely useful and immensely inspiring. I have a question: Is there a way to get a use item animation ("sideways using a computer terminal" and from "behind, hacking into a terminal"). Again, what a work of love!
Thanks! This is an animation I have pretty high up on the list. I’ll let you know as soon as it is done - I just need to finish the other requested animations and the tileset I am working on. Thanks so much for the kind words, it really means a lot and am happy to hear they are useful!
Hey, thanks! You deserve all the praise for it! Real quality work, and thanks for the future updates - very appreciated.
Awesome, thanks so much!
Hanging out for the next update like
Hahaha, this made me chuckle. I definitely have more animations in development. As soon as I can get the neon night city tileset done and released I’ll have more time to work on that and get it done faster. Sorry for the long wait :)
Hey! That’s really awesome. I’d love to try it out and am excited to play it, but unfortunately it seems I can’t play or download it. Do you think it might be location restricted? I tried on a few different browsers, and it leads to a timeout when clicking on the download button. Maybe it is a maintenance issue, so I will try again in a couple hours. Thanks for sharing it :)
I was finally able to download it and play it and I’ve gotta say, its fantastic! Love the feel of the combat and the level design. Feels super smooth as well. 🔥 I can tell you put a lot of work into this, amazing work man! How long was the jam?
May I ask, in the demo shown on youtube, which scene resource is used for the background?
Hey. This was a custom tileset. Coincidentally, this is actually a tileset I have been working hard on and will be releasing in the following couple of days :)
I did not have any particular need for this bundle - but it looks so good and there are _so_ _many_ animations! Had to get it :D. Nice jorb!!!
Haha, thanks :) I appreciate it!
BUY THIS PACK! This is the best and most affordable asset pack ever. I can't thank you enough for all the work you've put into this. Having such fluid visual feedback as I learn to develop a game has shot my coding skills through the roof. Before, so much was left to the imagination that when things were off it was hard to pinpoint why, but this makes it so clear how the character is moving, so writing the code to make it function is making much more sense. You're the best. I hope to support you even more in the future.
This truly made my day! Thank you SO much, this means a lot to me and I’m really happy it helps. I’m also excited to see what you make next!
Thanks for the suggestion. This is something that is on the request list and will be added after the current requests as soon as possible. Thanks.
Hey I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome pack. Will attribute when releasing! :)
You are very welcome :) Thanks for that!!!
Hi there,
I have a question
If I publish a game on Steam where I use the sprite, is that a violation of copy rights or not?
Hi, That is perfectly fine. You can use it in any commercial or non-commercial projects as you like.
Thanks Dude.
You’re welcome :)
Please add credit card payment option. PayPal is banned in some countries :(
Hi, unfortunately itch.io’s other payment option (Stripe) is not available in my country so PayPal is the only option I have open to me. I will enable it as soon as it is available. Sorry about that.
Is this a sprite sheet I program on godot and do not want to spend 5 dollars on some thing I cannot use thank you
-Real Vw(Real Studios)
Hi. This can be used in any engine as it is just the sprites and doesn’t contain engine specific code or controllers. It contains sprite sheets, sprites as well as separated sprite versions. The original game I made in the trailer is made in Godot. I hope this helps.
Yes it does help if i make a commericial game can i use these sprites I will give creddit in the opening scenes when the game is booted up
Awesome :)
Yes of course! It can be used in commercial projects or anywhere else. No crediting required, but I do truly appreciate it. Thanks!
Yup ill give you full credit in the loading screen after my dev team
Awesome, thank you so much!
Great asset, thank you for your hard work. I don't know if you have plans to add some underwater animations, such as diving, underwater shooting, etc.
Thanks. Yes, I definitely plan on adding these. I’ll get started on that as soon as I finish the night city tileset for next month as well as the item use/healing and magic/spell casting animations.
Great！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
Hello! Thank you so much for all the work you do. Have you planned to make sprite sheets? I’m currently using Godot, and it would make my work easier. You’re amazing.
Hi! There are full sheets in the Sprites folder (below all the folders). Or do you mean having a sheet for each separate animation as well? I’d be happy to add that as well if this is what you mean?
My bad, I wasn’t paying attention. Thanks for your answer; that was indeed my initial question. I love your work—it’s helping me a lot with my project on Godot. I’ll be sure to give you a shoutout when I release my demo (it’s a platform fighter).
That’s really cool, I’m excited to play the demo once you release it.
Hi! I wanted to buy a bundle with your assets, but unfortunately I can only pay by card, and you have this method disabled. Is there any option to buy a bundle with card payment?
Hi there. Unfortunately the Stripe payment method isn’t currently available in my location. If you could please send me an email to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com, I’d be happy to provide an alternate method. Thanks.
Thanks for your concern! I asked my friends, some of them have PayPal, I will probably pay through them tomorrow. I was given two classes to learn gamedev, I will start with learning how to create platformers based on your assets. I hope that in the future you will support this asset, because it looks great, and add new animations and things for platformers in the second asset
Awesome, thanks. And yes, I definitely do plan on supporting this for a long time and adding new animations, new monthly assets and much more :)
I used the shift+o shortcut to insert an outline in Aseprite, but it doesn't work. Can you help me?
Hi. Can you confirm if the outline settings are the same as shown below:
Additionally, it might be easier if you right click on the Player folder and click on “Flatten Visible” before adding the outline to add it easier instead of needing to add it to each part. I hope this helps.
The background becomes a blackscreen and when I press the OK button, this happens.
I reinstalled aseprite and it works
it was just bug
Thank you for your help
Oh, glad to hear that it’s fixed now - that was really strange haha. Happy to help :)
Wow, this is amazing. Would you ever consider doing a bird's eye version? I'm trying to make a Hotline Miami type game and something like this would be so helpful.
Hi and thank you for that! I do plan on adding a top-down, 8-way version of the character sprites but will add a birds-eye, full on top down version to the list as well. Great suggestion.
YES! I've been searching high and low for something like this as a top down but NOTHING is of the same quality as what you currently have up here. As soon as you release top down I'll be buying immediately.
Awesome, thanks Evan! I’ll let you know when I get to finalizing the top-down version.
Add top down sprites will be very hepfull!
I am new and struggling to code a game to use these animations. Do you have a sprite to use these animations? Can you give it to me so I can research and implement it
Hi. I’m happy to help, but just wanted to clarify the issue. Do you mean that you would like an example of the sprite to use and get it to work in your game or do you mean that you already purchased the asset and need help implementing it? Can I ask what game engine you are using so I can give you specific instructions on how to use it? Thanks.
yes i bought it and since i am new it is quite difficult for me to implement such a project so i would like to ask for a sprite in which you have implemented it, i am currently working on unity and using c# language, i would love to get your support, thank you.
Thanks for confirming :)
So basically it should work the same as other animations. But essentially you can create animation clips for the different animations and add the sprite frames to the animation clip. You can then use an animation controller to control which animation is played. This guide should explain it more clearly: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/introduction-to-sprite-animations
If you would like a demo Unity scene with an example implementation and I’d be happy to send it if you could send me an email to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com.
I hope this helps.
i will send you a gmail and i will be very happy if you can send a demo of it, it will help me a lot in learning new solutions, my gmail is lghl151004@gmail.com, i will send you a mail as soon as possible, thanks
Thanks, I’ve sent it over.
This is probably one of the best bang/buck assets I've ever bought!
Great job, Dead Revolver!
If I had anything to wish for, it'd be more animations for diagonal interactions. Shooting in 8 directions would be amazing!
Thank you, I am extremely happy to hear that.
8 directional attacks are in planning and will be added after the current requests (spell casting, picking up and using items/potions etc.). Thanks for the request.
This asset pack is awesome! Cheers!
Anyone developing a platformer should consider buying this asset pack.
I know you already have a lot on your to-do list, but for fantasy games it would be great if you could add the casting of magic, take potions and things like that.
Keep rocking.
Thanks!! It's a massive coincidence but spell casting, item pickups and using potions/items etc. is actually the very next thing I am planning to do :)
I just need to finish the controller collection which is nearly complete and then I'll get started on that. Should be this week or next week hopefully!
You keep rocking too!
Totally cool. I'm already looking forward to it :)
This is the gift that keeps on giving
If you want to develop a game. This is the first sprite you should get. It will allow you to use all the moves and make your game design faster. The design of the character is quite cute. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I look forward to seeing your game in the future too!
