Hello, great great content, I have acquired this and I plan to continue with the rest, a question, I have been searching and I can't find a shield sword for the idle walk run positions... on the back, what folder is it in? because there is even the guide to where it is placed, EDIT optional files -- unsupported)\char_a_p1\6tla and 7 tlb I think it would be?
Unfortunately, carrying weapons visibly outside of combat is not something that's supported out-of-the-box. If you want that for your characters, you'll need to copy-paste frames from the sword and shield into new layers and arrange as necessary for the pages/frames you want to cover. Or load them from the consolidated weapon sprite sheets and position them appropriately in your game engine's animator.
Hello. Just bought this pack and I have to say it's amazing. A little daunting at first with sheer amount of sprites, but after reading everything it's great. You've done some truly great work on the mana seed packs. So thank you.
Is there any plan to reconcile this to match the format in the farmer base? I took a quick look and saw a few discrepancies here and there. I purchased both and would like to use both (I'm purely using the farmer base at the moment)
Excuse me if I am wrong, but I'm 90% sure I saw somewhere characters on horses, like the riding poses in "Mana Seeds" style. Was it yours and can I buy them somewhere?
hello! I am currently purchasing your product and making a game. Are there any clothing animations that are compatible with magin wand products? The magin wand seems to use the animation of the sword, but I'm curious if there is any wizard-like robe clothing that is compatible with the magic wand animation.
There are only 2 outfits included for the combat animations (Peasant Farmer and Forester). I recommend you reach out to another artist and hire them to draw you some custom outfits for the animations you need.
I bought the complete collection that says it includes the character base, but itch wants to charge me to download all these files. Is there a way I can get them without paying extra?
In my opinion, this asset has too many issues for it to be fixed in an update. I need to return to the drawing board for a fresh start, in order to make it a better product. So that's what I did. Please check out the Farmer Sprite System. There's a link at the top of the page.
The clothes are on separate layers. You'll need to look up a tutorial on how to build a "paper doll" system for your player sprite if you want to change outfits at runtime. Otherwise, just use an image editor (GraphicsGale is free) to flatten the layers into a single sheet.
Thank you. Even I understood how to wear the clothes to the character but don't have graphic programs as photoshops so I was worry how to solve this problem. Thank you!

Hey, glad you like it 😊🙏🏽

Hello, is this character build in 4 direction or 8 direction ? thank you
4 directions
Hello, in the free version, what do I not have to do when I create a game for sale
What exactly am I not allowed to distribute?
You can use this resource for commercial or non-commercial purposes, but you do not have the right to transfer it to other users (send them to me)?
You can make and sell a game using the sprite sheets, but you can't give the sprite sheets away or sell them. Just the game you made.

Thanks, I'm glad it's working for you!
I noticed you have a new Farmer Sprite system rolling. Have you discontinued further development on this project?
Yes, quite some time ago:

Reconcile? They're completely different products with intentionally different formats. Please refer to the Farmer Sprite System FAQ: https://seliel-the-shaper.itch.io/farmer-base/devlog/523176/farmer-sprite-system...
thanks - this answers my inquiry, should have read the FAQs first!
No worries. The FAQ is kind of hard to find. I need to think of a way to make it more accessible for sure!
Excuse me if I am wrong, but I'm 90% sure I saw somewhere characters on horses, like the riding poses in "Mana Seeds" style. Was it yours and can I buy them somewhere?
You are correct! The character sprite with horse-riding animations is my "Farmer Sprite System" and you can find it here: https://seliel-the-shaper.itch.io/farmer-base
I will (hopefully) be publishing the horse itself in a few months.
Thank you so much! I wish you could make a horses sprites with walking/riding/jumping sprites!
Follow me to get updates on it! My plan is to begin work on the horse as soon as the Farmer Sprite System's v1.0 update is published.
I'm following you since the first Mana Seed release, so yup, gonna follow :) Thanks again, I'll try to be patient.
There are only 2 outfits included for the combat animations (Peasant Farmer and Forester). I recommend you reach out to another artist and hire them to draw you some custom outfits for the animations you need.
If I purchase your product, is it okay if I customize the character animation sprites inside and use it myself?
Yes, of course, you can make any changes you like 👍

On the $1 sale page, find the links to unlock all the "free sample" assets on the left side in the sale description.
I found it. There's a lot more content that I missed. Thank you for the quick reply and all the great work.
Happy to help! 🤗
Will this asset be updated to 2025? I feel like this character is the core of your entire collection.

How to wear the clothes to the characters?
The clothes are on separate layers. You'll need to look up a tutorial on how to build a "paper doll" system for your player sprite if you want to change outfits at runtime. Otherwise, just use an image editor (GraphicsGale is free) to flatten the layers into a single sheet.

Hi, Just wondering if the character could get 8 directional sprite animations...
BTW good work on the sprites. Secret of Mana (SNES) was and is still one of my favorite games
Sorry, no 8-direction updates are planned 🙏
no worries ^_^.
keep up the good work
