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

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

Fantastic

Thanks.

(+1)

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 :)

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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!

(+1)

Hey, thanks! You deserve all the praise for it! Real quality work, and thanks for the future updates - very appreciated. 

Awesome, thanks so much!

(+2)

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 :)

(+1)

Hello! I used your game assets for a gamejam project, and I'd love for you to try it out! Here's the link: 网易雷火游戏开发大赛 - 为梦想,集结! (163.com)

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?

(+1)

May I ask, in the demo shown on youtube, which scene resource is used for the background?

(1 edit)

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 :)

(+1)

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!!!

(+1)

Haha, thanks :) I appreciate it!

(+2)

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.

(+2)

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!

(1 edit) (+1)
Great asset. Is it possible to add an animation where the character sits?

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.

(+1)

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome pack. Will attribute when releasing! :)

You are very welcome :) Thanks for that!!!

(+1)

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 :)

(1 edit) (+2)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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!

(+1)

Yup ill give you full credit in the loading screen after my dev team

Awesome, thank you so much!

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(+1)

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?

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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

(+1)

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: image.png

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.

(1 edit)

It's better than before

The background becomes a blackscreen and when I press the OK button, this happens.

(+2)

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 :)

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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. 

(+1)

Awesome, thanks Evan! I’ll let you know when I get to finalizing the top-down version.

(+1)

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

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+2)

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!

(+1)

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.

(+2)

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.

(+1)

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!

(+1)

Totally cool. I'm already looking forward to it :)

(+2)

This is the gift that keeps on giving

(+2)

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!

(1 edit) (+2)

This is by far the best and most useful asset I think I've ever seen on this site! You are awesome! Keep up the great work!

P.S. have you ever thought of adding top down (up and down I mean, maybe diagonal) directions to the applicable animations? I know it would be a lot of work but it would expand the usefulness of the asset a LOT.

That truly means a lot, thank you!

A top down version with 8 way movement is on the list of things I want to do. I am just currently working on some other animation requests for this, then finishing the controller series and working on a tileset for next month. Then after that I will try to get started on this (I have worked on a proof of concept for it). Thanks for the suggestion!

(+1)

Nice! Can't wait to see it!

Awesome, I'll keep you updated on that :)

(+1)

Hey! I love your work and would like to buy this wonderful asset. However from where I am paypal does not exist so I can not make the purchase. Is it possible to add another payment method for Debit Cards? Thanks already and keep up the amazing work!!!

Hi! Thanks so much for the compliment :)
Sorry about the PayPal issue - unfortunately where I'm from I am not able to enable the other payment option to accept card payments (Stripe) as it isn't available here.

If you could send me an email to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com, I'd be happy to provide an alternate method.

Hello Dead Revolver,

I recently purchased your Pixel Prototype Player Sprites on the Unity Asset Store for $4.99. However, I noticed that the version on Unity seems to be outdated compared to the one on Itch.io, missing some sprites.

I would have preferred to buy directly from Itch.io, but unfortunately, PayPal is not available in my country. Given this situation, I was wondering if you could either:

1. Update the Unity Asset Store version to match the latest on Itch.io, or

2. Send the latest version to my email (I can provide proof of purchase if needed)

Additionally, I noticed that on Itch.io, the $4.99 tier includes both the Pixel Prototype Player Sprites and the Platformer Prototype Pack with tilesets and prototyping sprites. Since I've paid the equivalent price on Unity, would it be possible for me to receive the additional assets as well?

I appreciate your work and thank you for considering my request.

Love your assets!

Hi! Thanks for using the assets. I apologize for the confusion. I've been working on updating the Unity version with the new updates and releasing the other assets on Unity as well, and should have that done in the next week or so.
However, I'd be more than happy to send you a key for the itch.io version as well as the prototype pack. Could you send me message to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com and then I'll send that over.

I hope this helps :)

(+1)

Thank you so much for your quick and helpful reply! I've just sent an email to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com as requested. Please check your inbox - the email includes the proof of purchase. I really appreciate your assistance with this matter.

Thanks, I've sent the response there :)

(+1)

Love all your assets! 

Keep up the great work :)

Wow, thanks so much, that really means a lot!

What are the odds of getting a 'fishing' animation made from you? I'm willing to pay. This package is literally what I was looking for the entire time. But I'd really like to have a fishing animation set up. Maybe we can hash it out over pm or email? lmk. 

Hey Vay,

The odds are very high - I am happy to add that. I'm just currently working on a few previously requested animations and once those are done I'll get started on this and try my best to have it done this week or the next :)

I just wanted to ask if I am missing any animations while planning, this is what I am thinking:

- Windup

- Windup Charge Loop: To allow charging the throw/cast

- Cast: The actual casting

- Cast Loop: To allow looping depending on the strength of the throw

- Fishing Idle

- Hook

- Reel Loop

- Reel Finish / Catch

Is this correct, or am I missing anything that you can think of?

(+1)

Spot on in my opinion! I look forward to seeing these come to light. Going to be keeping an eye on your reply for when its ready!

Awesome, thanks. I'll definitely let you know once it is done.

Hi, could I ask if you could send me an email to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com so that I can send the fishing animations before the release. I've admittedly never coded a fishing feature, so I just wanted to ask if you could take a quick look and let me know if you think it is correct before I release it in the pack. Thanks.

Fishing animations have been released :)

https://deadrevolver.itch.io/pixel-prototype-player-sprites/devlog/812472/fishin...

(+1)

Amazing work! Do you plan on doing a Walk + Aim  and Walk + Shoot animation? If not I will try to piece together using the separate parts. Cheers!

Thank you!

Yeah I definitely plan on doing that. I am just working on an improved walking/dash and a new sprint animation and then will add that. I should have it done in the upcoming few days :)

(+1)

Amazing! Shooting + Crouching is also something that could be useful in the future.

Awesome, added that to the list as well. Thanks.

Hello, just wanted to let you know that I added walking + aiming and shooting as well as crouching + aiming and shooting along with a bunch of other animations: https://deadrevolver.itch.io/pixel-prototype-player-sprites/devlog/812472/fishin...

(+1)

I saw it. Thanks very much. Implementing right now

(+1)

Very nice character template and great updates. I can't buy from paypal, but I'll try patreon :) . I wish you could add a credit card.

If possible, in the next update, it would be perfect if you could add animations like "spell/cast anims" "sword special attack(s) " "heal up","different sword run and die anim." etc. Thank you.

Sorry about that - the only other payment option is not available in my country unfortunately, so I'm only able to use PayPal.

If you send me a message to deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com, I'll be happy to provide an alternative.


Thanks for the new suggestions, I've added them to the list after swimming animations and pole arm animations. Those are great suggestions. I just wanted to make sure what you meant by different sword run and die animations? Do you mean holding the sword in a different grip than the current sword run or something  else?

(+1)

Thank you for your answer. Yes, there can be different grip types as in the picture. Maybe if you think of a new weapon, an additional attack/combo can be made with the Axe/Hammer. That would be nice :):) . Thank you :):)

Awesome, great ideas. I've added them to the list of things to add. Thanks :)

i didnt hav a paypal account, can i pay with card?

Hi. Thanks for the message. Please contact me at deadrevolvermusic@gmail.com and I'll be happy to help with that.

(+1)

excellent

Thank you :)

Hello, very interested in this set, I have a question before purchase, are this animations separated by limb?, this will be used in a prototype where you can change armors and weapons so having each body part (arms, torso, legs, head) separated by layer would be a godsend and a sure purchase candidate


thank you!

(+1)

Hello, thanks for the suggestion.
This is not currently separated by limb, but that is something I have been planning to add.

I am busy working on some requested animations this week, but once that is done, I'll add this.

I just had a question about what the best folder organization method would be for this in your own opinion.

Would you prefer:

  • Run
    • Head
    • Arms
    • Torso
    • etc.
  • Idle
    • Head
    • Arms
    • Torso
    • etc.

...or do you have a different idea in mind?

Thank you.

(+1)

Hey, that is pretty much the structure Im currently using, with the addition that I have separated arms and legs, so something like this would be awesome:

  • Run
    • Head
    • FrontArm (Right Arm, in this sprite's case)
    • BackArm (Left Arm)
    • Torso
    • Front Leg (Right Leg, in this sprite's case)
    • BackLeg (Left Leg)
    • Any weapon
    • Slash Smears, etc
  • Idle
    • ...

I have been doing this manually for some other assets I have acquired, and I'm sure yours will greatly benefit from this separation as well

Hope This helps!

(+1)

That does help, thanks! I have started working on this, and am making progress. I believe it might take one more day due to the amount of animations to separate and to clean up some of the new animations.

(+1)

no Rush!

Hi, thanks for your patience.

I've finished adding the separated parts to all the animations along with a few new animations: https://deadrevolver.itch.io/pixel-prototype-player-sprites/devlog/797185/12-new...

You can find the separated sprites inside the "Separated" folder.

Please let me know if it is correct or if there are any changes needed.

I hope this is helpful.

When are you expecting to have more released of this set? I love the variety of movement but missing a couple of things ie. taking damage (without being knocked down completely).

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

I am currently struggling with work and finding any free time to work on this, but please do know that I definitely plan on adding more animations and constantly updating this. There are a few animations currently in progress that will be released as soon as possible, and I'll add the damage without knockdown animation requested to the request list.

Hi. Sorry for the delay.

I've added the damage animations along with a few new animations in the new update:

https://deadrevolver.itch.io/pixel-prototype-player-sprites/devlog/797185/12-new...

I hope they are useful.

(+1)

These are amazing! Thanks so much, this is by the far the best character platformer sprite I have found.

Thanks, that really does mean a lot :)

Cutting the non-combat sprite sheet (player_sheet) 94 x 84, there's some sprites where the foot barely sticks out down into the next frame (idle, idle transition, running, walkings, and some others)

Hi,

Sorry for the trouble.

Just wanted to firstly note that the size should be 96x84.
But I don't think this could be the cause of the issue as this is the width.

I tried replicating this issue but can't seem to.  Could I ask if you could confirm which tool you used to cut the sprite so I can reproduce the issue and find a solution as soon as possible?

Thanks, I appreciate your time and look forward to getting this fixed.

Best regards,

Dylan

Hey no problem, it's probably something I'm doing wrong. So I'm using Unity, I just deleted, redownloaded, re-imported, it looks more pixelated than it should and the foot is slightly going over the line. The funny thing is that the player attack sprite sheet's quality is fine. I have the inspector for the texture 2D attached. It's important to note that the player attack sprite sheet has the same settings in the inspector.

+


Thank you for the info.

I believe I've found the issue.

Because the sheet is larger than the default Max Size of 2048, you need to change it to 4096. This will fix the blurryness and in turn the overflow of the sprites.

After changing it to 4096 and hitting apply, if you could slice the sprites again using 96x84 and let me know if that works as expected that would be great.

Thanks.

thank you, that worked perfectly

That's great to hear. Hope you have a wonderful week and best of luck on your project.

I was looking for quality assets to use in the RPG game I have been working on. Found this, it is perfect for my needs. 

Will I have access to upcoming content after purchase?

Hi! Thanks for the message, and glad to hear it is helpful :)

Yes, you will have access to all future updates.
