Can I use it for YouTube animations?
Sure, you can use them on your videos, as long as you don't sell the characters you're good to go!
Hi! This tool is amazing! I was just curious, do you have any updates planned for this?
Hello zanto, yes I plan to add 4 direction attack and probably a dead sprite. :)
Awesome! Thank you for your work! :D
Hello. I tried to contact you by email. Ive bought the creator on other site. Anyway I Will buy again here to support you. Will the upgrade be free?
Hello Raphael88, I've answered the email, if you get the assets here, every time I do an update on the assets you bought, you can just download it for free.
Hello,
I just purchased the creator and am loving it so far.
Is there any chance, that the attacking animations will also be generated in 4 directions in the future? For now this allow only attack animations in 2 directions?
Hello Sojabohn, I've noted that, I will add a new sprite with 4 direction attacks on the next update.
These are really great! Is there any way to access the separate layers so I can swap things programmatically? I would love to be able to allow in-game swaps of accessories and such by just swapping the layers instead of having to manually export every single possible combination.
Hello SlightlyMadman, sadly I cannot do that, I would have to do a lot of work to get the sprites out to work on a separated tool/game.
Hello, is this compatible with Mac?
Hello kennycummings, currently not, I will bring a Mac version soon.
Thank you for the reply. I've been using Parallels to use the software. It is awesome. Please let me know when you have Mac version working!
If you were to add idle animations, this would be the best tool out here.
Hello Miijuki, I could do that, when I made the tool I thought on RPG Maker which doesn't really support idle animation, I will note that on my todo list! :)
Hey ELV Games, thanks for the fast reply. You are absolutely right, RPG Maker in itself doesn't support idle sprites. So your initial thought is definitely correct. However many people are using your sprites and tools for other game engines or stuff so it's maybe worth a shot.
Thanks for noting!
Hello Miijuki, there is a new update now that exports an extra sheet with 4 directions idle animation, have fun!
How do i save it with weapons? I know i did it before
Hello, you have to choose RPG Maker version.
Can I use characters created in any game engine or just RPG Maker?
Hello, any game engine you want! :)
Can we add our own parts to the generator? Like if I wanted to add a new hair style.
nope, sadly you cannot add your own parts into it.
Do you plan to make any updates to this tool?
It's amazing and I love it.
Thanks, I will see what I can do.
Any plans to make this accessible on macs? :) Love the rest of the collection though! It's been great to work with so far!
great looking character creator. Are there any plans to create characters in 16x16 ? These would match the tiels in the various tilesets youre offering at present (and the retro 8 bit machine I'm designnig my game for has sprites are are 16x16!)
the characters itself are designed for 16x16 tiles and games, but I had to make it export on a 24x24 canvas because I made some bigger hairs and helmets.
Ah okay. Thanks for the fast reply.
Great tilesets! Just purchased the full bundle. Fanatastic value!
What is the difference between this and your sprite generator?
it's the same tool, I've added on both bundles, so if you buy either the bundle, you get the generator!
Very nice. Would it be possible to add a right mouse click that drops down a list/menu you can choose from? Using the arrows one by one can be a bit slow.
I will try to add that!
It just brings cool memories of Super Nintendo times! Nice characters, fantasy stories! It is very cool about rpg maker JRPG games!
Thanks, that's what I tried with it, bring a SNES/GBA feeling!
