I really love this pack! would you add another two handed gun animation but like holding and firing a shotgun or rifle?
Hi. Thanks for the request. I’ve added this to the request list, to add as soon as possible.
Hi again My friend! hope u doing good, i whould like to know if it possible to make an Dash Attack sword animation? That whould help me A LOT in My project! I already bough the asset but I'll give a tip if You can help me with that :D
Hi. I’ve added this to the request list to add as soon as I am able to.
Can't I buy the bundle now? When will the bundled package be released
Hi. Sorry for the mistake on my side. I’ve released the bundle again.
Okay, thank you. After purchasing now, can I directly access the updated material content, or do I need to buy it again?
Thanks. You will receive all new updates without needing to buy it again.
Please, made a Riffle animations
Great suggestion—added that to the request list now. Thanks.
wanted to ask are you gonna add top-left and top-right dash to asset pack as in the video?
Hi, sorry for the late reply over the weekend. The top left and top right dashes were done by rotating the original dash animation by 45 degrees in-engine (and flipping it for the left version). But I’ll add that to the pack as well, thanks for the suggestion.
thank you!
I used this asset as a reference for the actions in my game. This help me a lot! Keep up the good work!
That’s amazing. Thank you so much.
This has been really helpful in developing the game I'm working on - thank you!
Consider developing a similar set of quadruped animations. That would be soooo useful to me.
Really happy to hear that :) Great request, I’ve added it to the request list.
Hey hey, I made a game using your assets for a game Jam.
https://xeraesh.itch.io/fracture-point
Hell yeah, that’s awesome!
i love this and aam having fun making something for the first time but im so so new to this im having trouble and could use a teacher loll
Hey, I’m happy to hear you’re having fun. I’d be happy to help anyway I can. What type of trouble are you experiencing at the moment?
im using godot and wating the step by step video on how to make a game but its using a different asset pack and with me trying to fallow it how hes doing it i hit a wall where i cant make the platforms for my character to move on
I see, so just to confirm, the issue is that the character doesn’t collide with the platform? Can you confirm if the collision mask / physics layer of the platform is correct and that your player’s collision mask is correct?
I really enjoy how versatile this whole set is. I made a small game for a jam with your assets (it's incomplete, but a work in progress lol). I can easily see myself making more with these.
Proto Runner
That’s awesome!
Lovely animations, dude! Any possibility of being able to add an idle to crouching animation?
Thanks for the suggestion - I’ve added that to the request list.
Much appreciated! Looking forward to the update. :)
More sprites please!!!!
amazing quality, love the whole bundle :3
Thank you :)
can i change the color only and use it in my game on steam
Yeah that’s perfectly fine.
This pack is exactly what I needed to do some no-fuss prototyping. I'm really glad to have found it, thanks so much for making it! (would also love it if someday you'd add stairs climbing and descending, lol)
Love to hear that. Thanks. Great suggestions too—I’ve added them to the to-do list.
amazing work mate
Thank you! :)
Hi! Is this possible to request a subset of animations to be decorated with a particular character skin? Could you please contact me?
Hey, thanks for the request firstly. At the moment I have a bunch of big projects so spare time is non-existent. As a result I wouldn’t be able to take this on at the moment, but could definitely add it to the roadmap if you want? Sorry about that.
Alright, thx!!!
Hey, I was wondering how is the copy right if I buy this pack, can I modify the animations and add others to it? (Not for selling, but to use in a game) Oh and is it possible to commision you for custom animations?
Thank you :)
Hey, yeah you can modify and use it in any way you want :) I am unfortunately not currently doing commissions due to the large number of ongoing projects I have right now. Sorry about that.
Best regards, Dylan
I don’t have PayPal in my country, any suggestion how can I buy this pack?
Hi. Unfortunately itch.io only allows me to use PayPal in my country. If you could send me an email to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com, I’d be happy to provide an alternative method there.
Hey man! Great work, I have contacted you for the whole bundle via email too! 💪
Thanks, I’ve sent a response.
Just thought of something. May be time consuming but what if you made a pack of cosmetics. When people buy the assets they can simply load the cosmetics over the player animations. I've seen this done by 1 person and I think it's a pretty cool idea.
That’s such an awesome idea, definitely writing that down to do once I get the time. Thanks for the suggestion.
No problem!
I'm good at pixel art but I can't animate them. I want to animate like you do. I also like the style. Can you give me some tips on animating the way you do? It'd be really helpful to bring some character I've made to life.
That’s awesome, I’d love to see some of your art if you’re open to sharing.
While I’m far from great, I’d be happy to share some tips that helped me.
Firstly, I would suggest learning the 12 principles of animation. These really come in handy almost all the time while animating.
For pixel art specifically, I like to block out the animations first as simply as possible to get the motion right. For a character, this might mean animating each limb separately using only separately colored lines for the body parts. This allows you to get the motion as smooth as you can without committing too much to the final result and allows you to experiment and easily change things drastically because it’s just a few blobs on the screen.
Then, I create a new layer and animate the final form over the blocked out animation, not worrying about perfection yet. The final step is going through all the frames and polishing it, looking for stray pixels or places where pixel movement feels off etc.
I hope this is somewhat helpful :) If not, I’d be happy to elaborate further.
You can find my pixel art here: https://www.pixilart.com/8-BitOsborne
I appreciate the tips! There is not much more I could ask for except a little more detail about the process and maybe some things to think about while doing it. Honestly you gave a pretty good tip that I've never tried before. Thanks man. :)
Thanks! That’s some awesome art. I love your work! So a bit more about my specific process is: I use Aseprite which is great for pixel art animation (which you probably already know).
Some random tips I picked up and that I usually keep in mind:
These are the things I can think of off the top of my head - but if I think of anything else, I’ll let you know.
Thanks boss, you're the goat.
Btw you should add a dive, But these are really sick too😁👍
Thanks, I’ve sent the email. A dive is a cool idea, I’ve added that to the request list - thanks.
And I will credit you, As-well as recommend your assets to other developers.
I'm fine if you say no.
I'm making a really large zombie game and this is perfect, But I don't have any money right now, So it your kind enough to give me it for free I will pay you back 2X more And become a patron, And you will receive early access one it comes out.
Hi. I’d be happy to help out if you can’t afford it at the moment. Could you please send me an email to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com? And thanks for the offer - I’m excited to see the game when it’s released.
I sent you the email.
Hey, when is the bundle sale gonna be available again? appreciate your reply in advance.
Hey. The sale is available again now :)
Ok! Thanks for letting me know..
hi for godot when making animation for the sprite sheet u need to know how much horizontal how much vertical can u help pls
Hi,
Here are the rows and columns for the sheets: Player Sheet: 14x48 Combat Sheet: 10x58
Each frame is 96x84.
Let me know if this helps. Thanks.
thank you!
did you will had a folder but with sprite sheet I still look at your arts and when possible buy most of your asset
Thank you. Yes, the asset contains sprites separated by folder as well as the full sprite sheet optionally, and separated character parts.
perfect ty i'm doing an prototype rn so it really usefull
Bought! Was very impressed with both your detailed, smooth and lively animations and with your continued updates and support on this page!
I hope to use this for my game while also try to learn from those and modify some of them for my uses so it is awesome you included the aseprites files!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you!
Hi, I am using your asset bundle but I am having problems with the size of the character, what size do you recommend me to use with neon city assets package?
also what configuration do you recommend for the pixel perfect camera because I feel that it looks a little blurry, sorry for the questions is that I'm new using unity :)
Hi,
For pixel art, select the sprites and make sure to set the “Filter Mode” to “Point (no filter)” and click “Apply”. This will fix the blurriness and make it appear crisp.
For the sizing, to keep everything consistent, make sure to have the “Pixels Per Unit” consistent across all your sprites. The actual value will depend on your game, but keeping it the same for pixel art is important to get the scaling right:
Please let me know if this helps.
omggg of course it helped, thank you so much for the help and what an amazing bunble you made tysssm.
That’s great! Thank you :)
This is awesome! Already purchased. Is it possible to add a rope swing action, similar to many platform jumping puzzle games. You can swing to a far platform, thank you very much!
Hi, thanks for the request. This is already on the request list actually, so will get to that as soon as the other animations are done :)
Heya, what kind of tile size would this fit with?
Hey. I would recommend either 16x16 or 32x32.
Thanks!
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 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.
