Information
These charsets are the result of not liking any other charsets that are out there. I have found one that I've liked, but I lost it and I cannot find it anymore. This is what inspired me to make my own. The point of making this topic early is to recieve feedback on the animations and share ideas to help make a nice template for use. These are going to be animation heavy so if you are not a spriter, it might not be the best template for you.
Goals
I have plans to release several charsets each with certain poses that can be used. My goal is to have 3 age groups of sprites. This is because I understand that not every game will use an adult as the main character. I plan to make child, adult, and elder templates. Each will include several animations such as: Attack/Defend/Run/Sneak/Jump/Skill/Item/Dead
It will also include random poses that can be used in cutscenes. The random poses will depend on the age, but can include: Sitting/Pointing/Nealing/Flying/Throwing. It depends on what I feel can be used. All animations will be in 5x8 format & 5x4 format and once completed will be posted on a sheet. (Use my Movement & Animation script from the rmxp script database.) I will upload them to deviantART to ensure that they are never removed.
Downloads
As I have only just started, only previews will be shown until full animations are completed.
Notes
Why are you doing this?Like I mentioned, I have my own reason for needing a template. I also want to have more blizz-abs resources out there. This is also great practice for my pixel-art skills.
Are there plans to make armored and full character sprites?As of right now, my only goals are the aforementioned. If I am still up to the challenge, I'd like to create my own character generator using VB6, as it's the only vb I have experience with. In that case I'd include shirts,pants,armours etc. all in a generator ready to go.
One last thing, wish me luck because this is now my new main project. Lol.
