Hi everyone!
With this eleventh update, I'm introducing the Skeleton Armored, now fully animated in 8 directions.
I’ve implemented full 8-direction movement, increased the skeleton’s height by 2 pixels, improved the existing animations, renamed the files, and updated the base frame size.
If you’ve already purchased the pack and want to switch to 8-direction movement, make sure to replace all the Armored animations with the new version—this will ensure the best possible result, both technically and visually. The new 8-direction version fully replaces the previous one.
As mentioned above, among the various updates, I increased the height of the Armored skeleton by 2 pixels. I had been unsatisfied with the previous height for a while, as it made this unit look almost "childlike" compared to others like the Knight, Necromancer, or Captain. So I took the opportunity to address this.
The same kind of adjustment will also be applied to the Common skeleton and the Archer skeleton. Below, you can see a comparison between the old characters and the new version!
If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to contact me here!
