To do a breathing animation well you'd generally want to use subpixeling techniques, which isn't really compatible with the structure of generator pieces, but is more suited for full characters. 

If you don't need that level of detail for your specific project, but want to have some general idle movement, then it might be the easier approach to simply have the idle animation bounce up and down by 1 pixel (probably at the waistline). Thanks!

Hi

Generalized answer for comment-faq:

Core structures like houses, cliffs, and trees are featured in the promo screenshots to provide visual guideposts.

I arrange the tiles in logical groupings as best as I can, but some might be tricky to place, especially some of the variant tiles. The sets are arranged with a focus on flexibility that makes use of alignment-precision (it's why these sets take a long time, tilesetting is a whole thing beyond the textures themselves).

This kind of tileset isn't just for use in RPGMaker, but for any engine or tool that uses tiles in a regular grid (there should be a master-sheet for general use in addition to the RPGMaker-formatted sheets).

I'd recommend simply "playing with them" in a way to get familiar with maximizing the tile-palette, because that will  develop your own language of tile-clusters, which makes your mapping process smoother and more intuitive (and more fun) in the long run.

On the other hand, if you're not making bespoke environments, (doing something procedural for example) a lot of the variants and edge-case tiles might be unnecessary (designed for hand-placed details), so it'd really depend on the specifics of your project.

Specific answer to you:

Sounds like you're doing something more complex than regular drawing with the tile-palette, I'm happy to help but would need some more individual specifics. 

Please send me an email (finalbossblues.com/contact/) and then we can share image attachments easily, if I can see the context of what you're doing, and then I can help you directly.

Thanks!

It seems there's just too many inconsistencies with the Mac builds (especially since I don't have a Mac to keep up with updates and tests). 

At this point the OSX version can't be continually supported, so whether it works for any given mac machine is a coinflip.😣 

Blame Apple, we tried. 😝

Only for patrons, it's hard to find the time these days. Thanks!

Free!
I ask that:

• please don't redistribute them directly and link back instead, 
• and it's uncool if anyone wants to feed em to an AI

but I can't enforce that, so with my freebie releases you can do whatever you want with em 😁

Other artists have made a bunch of tilesets in this style, so my contribution was the characters.
They're Gif's trees for the asset alliance project:

Yes, that's perfectly fine! Have fun!

Hi, I saw your comment and I can send it to you, no problem. I deleted your other comment because the images were public, so please send me an email then I can reply with the attachment that you need.

Thanks!

A vertical four-frame animation in RPGMaker means that it wants to "spin" using a movement-route, so it goes: FACE DOWN, FACE LEFT, FACE RIGHT, FACE UP (and repeat).

This is because the four-frames will play in sequence, so it's better for more detailed animations, vs the three-frame which ping-pongs and repeats the idle.

Hope that's clear. Thanks!

Thank you!

These are for use in pixel art programs and not directly used by the assets in the pack. If you don't plan to manually editing the sprites or make new sprites, then they're just an extra. Thanks!

The 3X versions included are formatted for use in RPGMaker. Thanks!

The download should include versions at the 3X scale for use in RPGMaker MV/MZ. Thanks!

Yes it should be a free download for anyone who has the hometown set. Thanks!!

Thank you!

Check out the included plugin. It should be explained in the PDF guide too. If that doesn't fix it, send me an email with the details and I can take a look, thanks!

Thanks for checking it out! There's no ending because it's a movement tech demo, the finished game is content complete.

Final Boss Blues is just fine. Thank you!
As for a UI Pack, I've shared a collection of window border assets on my patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/ui-windowskins-114188486 and a ton of icons along the way, but a big collected UI pack is still on the todo list. thanks!

Yup, translated really smooth to the gamepad.  😎 Thanks!

Super comfy, super cute, great gamefeel and tons of potential to expand in all sorts of directions. Great job! We're feelin' froggy and jammin' with the jams today!

They were replaced in the RPG-Maker formatted sheets with different roof tiles because the autotiles work differently. I thought I included them on the master sheet, so they could still be used for custom tiles or in other engines, but it looks like I missed them.

I'll upload them immediately as an extra "demo file" so they can easily be downloaded.

Good catch, thanks!

Yes absolutely! good luck on your project

Should work from here. If it doesn't connect it might be a site error, if so send me a DM on patreon and I'll take a look. thanks!

Not to my knowledge! There might be something out there, but it's beyond my skill. Good luck!

Same license as my paid assets, you just don't have to pay for em. Thanks!

If the water tiles work fine and the others don't, then that sounds like you're using the right sizes but likely have the tilesets in the wrong slots. RPGMaker has a weird system that expects tiles to be set up in a specific way: tileA2, A3, tileB, etc. The sets should work if you arrange them based on the tiletype in the filename. If you need more help send me an email with some specific examples of how they look in your game then I'll know for sure the problem.
thanks!

Yes thank you! There'll definitely be more :)

Should work since it's been updated.
Send me an email and we can figure out the specific problem you are having, thanks!

If you want the character to be directly behind the other one, that involves the alignment fix plugin. You can find it here:
https://finalbossblues.itch.io/time-elements-character-core-set/devlog/991387/al...

If your problem is with the pixel-scaling, that's a matter of style and taste so it's up to your choices. Thanks!

Was the scaling wrong or was the alignment wrong? If you were using the plugin and the sprite was too big, you might be using the wrong export magnification. Send me the email and with an image of the problem (how it looks in your game) if you need me to take a look, thanks!

Not one yet? Hmmm, in that case I'll add it to the list. thanks!

Appreciate it :)

As for expressions: because  it'd just be too many animations to do custom emotes for all the possible combinations, I included a series of emote-like popups in the Elements Core Set that you can use for this purpose:

Hopefully that helps.
Thanks!

There are no individual belt pieces because they'd be incorporated into the bottom(pants and legs) piece, or in some designs into the torso part. For staffs, there's a base series of "wands" in the first expansion that are intended to fill that role.



Thanks!

Maybe, I've done similar things on patreon but would need to compile something. Thanks for the idea!

Check out Bert's work! https://www.patreon.com/bitbybitsound

should be included in steam. If not, you can get the standalone plugin in the demo files here:
https://finalbossblues.itch.io/time-elements-character-core-set

Good suggestion, it's definitely on the list for future expansions. Thanks!

 For now it's set up where the download's available as a bonus for patrons at this link:
https://finalbossblues.itch.io/action-rpg-monsters/patreon-access
Thanks!

Usually they come with both color schemes, but looks like this one just has the TF theme included yeah-- if there's interest I can go back and add the full-color variants too  thanks!

Go ahead! But they don't come with RMXP format so you'd have to rearrange them yourself. Thanks!
