Incredible assets !

thank you! ❀️

what different between versions

at which speed should these be played?

(-1)

Hi, i buy this, but i do not split this. :/

(-1)

hey I'm not sure what you mean!? 

Amazing pack! Would you ever consider adding an animation where the character is sitting on the floor or on a bench ?

hey I thank you! Check out the Victorian pack, it has a bench with the Swordmaster sitting on it, not an animation just a static sprite at the moment πŸ˜ƒ

Oh! can't wait to see what you are going to do with it

I can't find the Victoria pack ??

(+1)

made a 2D Platform with this, thank you! I love your art <3

https://biawanna.itch.io/dont-die

AWESOME!!! 

Can you add a normal crouch and a attack_crouch!!!... drink potion...poison status

(+1)

yes please, I agree!

(2 edits)

It would be cool if you add animation of an upward attack when the sprite is jumping and something like attack in dash

(-1)

It would be very nice if you add Block anim for every enemies too

(-1)

Hi, i am making a game with combat system like Sekiro, the enemies and bosses have Block attack same as the player.
Please update Block attack to all enemies and bosses. I'm looking forward to this

Hello my name is Helenilson and I'm developing a game with your arts I'm buying it little by little but in the future I'll buy all of the DARK series, I'm here for two things, first to congratulate you for the great work and second I would like to ask for another animation for this hero,

i would like an animation where she is thrown backwards falling on the floor lying down as if something had bumped into her please if you can add more this animation to this character i will be very happy

heyo adding it to the list πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Thank you very much!!!!!!  

Which pack is the grass sprites? :)

This one here πŸ˜ƒ

ty!

I paid for and downloaded this, but this looks like a lot of work to get it going in Unity.

Can you add something where the animations are already set up?

Also, I do not see any documentation on what each row is. Or in the .gif what frames are which animations.

hey thanks for purchasing πŸ˜ƒ adding details on the rows soon that will make thing clearer!

Sprite sheets/art is what I sell, I won't be able to help you setting up code in unity.

(1 edit)

Could you maybe clarify which frames are the jump ones? While the attack anims are really impressive, jump is rather essential for a platformer.

going to make a list soon! πŸ˜€

Scroll down, I made a reply comment with all the rows labeled.

ty! appreciated

Please Make New Character Like this!!!! Mage and Assassin I need So Much Thank Yo

(+1)

I have good idea for assassin! So soon hopefully πŸ˜„

I love your style, but in this pack it's hard to know which sprites correspond to which states. would it be possible to categorize the sprites? example: Idle, Run, Jump, Die, etc.

(1 edit) (+2)

I had same problem. Here's what I've figured out so far by row on v1.2:

1-static, 2-idle, 3-walk, 4-run, 5-sprint, 6-roll, 7-roll atk, 8-aerial slash1, 9-aerial slash2, 10-slam atk, 11-spin atk, 12-block, 13-dash, 14-?, 15-jump, 16-fall, 17-vanish, 18-appear, 19-fall atk, 20-crouch, 21-wall Grab, 22-wall static?, 23-hold>slide transition, 24-wall slide, 25-slide>hold transition, 26-hit, 27-death

(+2)

Whoops sorry! I guess it gets real confusing with this many animations 🀣 I'll update this tomorrow and label everything πŸ˜ƒ

When you do, maybe you can include the sprite size. It's easy enough to figure out, but its just a quality of life thing. Thanks, love your stuff.

(+2)

I write them in the file name, unless I accidentally miss one they should be there πŸ˜ƒ

Thank you! and adding soon :)

i look foward to your new work

thanks for the support πŸ˜ƒ

Hi, I'm new to this and I kinda need help. I became your patron because your artwork looks amazing. I want to download some of your packs that should be free for patrons, right? I just dont know how, so if you could help. Thanks

hi thanks so much! Means a lot. I post the access links on my Patreon channel (pinned at the top, highest post) just click those and follow the instructions πŸ˜ƒ

If you still have issues, join the discord and send me a message! Lots of helpers in there as well!

I found it, thanks a lot πŸ˜„. Man they are so cool!

πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Have you considered making more characters with separate sprite sheets with sprite stacking like the gunslinger again?

(+1)

Hey! Yes absolutely 😊 not sure when but definitely will be doing more!

Ok cool! I love your style and I'm looking for more sprites that can attack in 4 directions so that'd be great

Amazing aanimtions! Cannot wait to use these!

Thanks bugsy 😍

hi! 

have you considered adding a patreon tier where i can just drop money and get ALL the artwork, past and present? or will you consider it in the future when your collection grows much larger?

keep up the good work!

(+1)

hey Gooby! 

That's an interesting idea! I do have a bundles on itch for each of my series containing everything in them! Which is sort of the same thing, but would be cool to offer something on Patreon as well!

Thanks πŸ˜„

I love your artwork! Are you planning any more heroes, or what else are you planning in the "Dark" series?

thank you so much! And yes I want a bunch of heroes I the series. Have a lot of plans but what comes next is influenced by my Patreons as well πŸ˜„

Yesss! Im a patreon, i wish well all agree that its time for a bunch of heroes β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️

Yesssss heroes galore πŸ˜„

Hope to see more animations / skills in a future update. But already great as is!
