Thank you bud, that's a great solution! Yeah I think I was getting too hung up on having it keep ALL the existing skirts. It'd totally work great to make just one skirt specialized for tails, one armor, etc. I'd already made two variations for a scaly and unscaly tail (in case people want to do slugs or caterpillars) and lizardlike head or keeping the human one. So it might work better to make all of that modular 'outfit' parts to mix and match!
You're also totally correct that I can't possibly make every colour everyone would want, and they can totally edit it if they need to. Perhaps I'll just include a bonus image with some suggested palettes for other scales, and people can eyedrop them if they want.
Thanks for all your great advice, I'll keep on working hard! I hope you enjoy the sprites when they're done :)
You reminded me that I completely forgot to add my palette to the files, so people have a reference x_x
Yeah, don’t overstress to much, there is just so much we can do. We should also trust that people are fully able to go further into their own edits as long as we provide the base files for them. Mix and matching is interesting because people will come up with combinations that we didn’t think about at first.
You are always welcome, my friend, I really appreciate all your hard work and I am sure I will like them, with all the clear as crystal passion you are pouring on it! :)
OH YEAH, THE PALETTE
Oh how do I do that? I don't think I've ever noticed itchio had a ratings button omg I'm so unobservant. I'd be happy to help if I can!
EDIT: ah it turns out the button just straight up isn't there on mobile. I'd been using that for replies, oops. Ok I'll go find it on desktop!
It wasn't working on mobile for me, I did try clicking on the stars under "more information: rating:"
But it's no biggie, I got it sorted on mobile! Hope my review helps!
Hello, I just wanted to message again to say I'm sorry I never finished the snake skins. I only managed to do the 3 frame version and got stumped on making the 6 frame one look right. Thank you for all of your help back then, and I'm sorry I just left things hanging! I still really adore Hero Printer and I'm just gonna stick to all your wonderful base designs until I can improve my sprite skills.
Cmon mate, no worry whatsoever! :D The 6 frames version one is a bit tricky, since you need to add some “bounciness” to the animation - some squash might get it right, where it horizontally squashes on the middle frames. If you evern get back to it or publishe the 3f version only, let me know and I will add the publication to the list of games/tools using the Tiny RPG series :)
Aw thanks bud! Yeah the bounciness is where I had trouble making it look as good as your originals. So it would still be ok to post a partial 3f pack?
