Greetings, gamerviz! Sure, I just added the file to this asset pack. Just have in mind that I did this animation (a long time ago)  by improvising in order to have a reasonably interesting animated cover. It was not mean to be sold. But now is here! The files are called: cover_thumbnail_liquid_vfx.aseprite and cover_thumbnail_liquid_vfx.gif.

Thank you so much for you interest and support!

Thank you, Victor Gustavo! I appreciate the feedback. This project is archived, but I won't stop.

Hello, OneWeakness!  Thank you! That's not required, but if you really want to, then you may credit me as "kiddolink" and link to my profile: https://kiddolink.itch.io/ .

Hello! No, the license is stated only in the asset page.

Great game! The story and gameplay are fantastic! It would be nice to have an infinite mode and score system, so I could be playing it much more!

Wow! It took me a while! What a blast! It's a short but dense one. Very well made. So many good game design principles applied altogether. It inspires me! In relation to the aesthetics, what a cute beautiful protagonist. Lady Apple-chan? Anyway, very nice character design.

Hey, 1up Indie2! Thank you!

Yes, I just needed one color. But it`s very easy to change the sprite sheet color with any kind of image or pixel editor. In case of a pixel editor, just use the the bucket tool (there are also online tools, such as this: https://www.piskelapp.com/ ). Have fun!

By the way, I put the files into a .zip file, called Cover_Smoke_Effect.zip, in order to organize things.

Hey! I just added the sprite sheet. The file is called: cover_effect-Sheet_315x250t.png

Enjoy the effect!

Hello, skagns852! At first, I didn't understand your request, because there is simply no video! But then I thought that, maybe, you're referring to the package's animated gif thumbnail, which indeed includes an effect. If that's the case, I already included the effect used in the cover of the asset in the whole package. Now, the file it's called cover_effect.gif. Have in mind that the effect was hand drawn in pixel art for thumbnail purposes. It's not high resolution digital art. To be fair, there is a description of the asset package's content in the page explaining what is included. I recommend reading it attentively. 

Please, let me know if that's the effect that you were requesting! Have a nice day!

Hey, jwtstudio! For now, I have no plans to add new VFXs to the set. But if I come back to it in the future, I'll definitely consider your suggestion!

Hey, goofyillustrator! This Set is already a bundle that contains many individual packages that are sold individually. Right now, I am making a sale that include all my VFX packages released so far. In case you're interested, you can check it here: VFX-fy your LIFE!!!

Thank you!

Greetings, SGHarlekin! Thank you very much for the support!
I added the frames and spritesheets with each frame being at the 192x192 resolution. If something is not right about the files, let me know! It was an automatic conversion, so I checked most of them to be sure.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't do commissions. I thought about adding more animation packs such as this, but I'm busy with a game project.

Sure! I should have done that with all packs that include this one. In the Bundle Season 3, it's called "sprite_sheet_96x96_VFX_SLASH_VOL_2.zip "

Don't worry, if you need something, feel free to just ask!

Hey, thanks! I just uploaded the file. It's called "sprite_sheet_96x96.zip".

Amazing! It actually opened an animation I had in Krita perfectly. Good job!

Hi! I'm not sure if you're referring to the "VFX-fy your life" sale. But if that's the case, I'm planning to schedule it for the next week.

Hey! The sale ended on July 1st.

It shows here: https://itch.io/s/75225/vfx-fy-your-life

Gummy Grenade Games, what a delightful surprise! Your game looks very neat and pretty! I'm playing it here, almost halfway through to beat the pinata.

I'm glad that you liked it!

Hello! I had the same problem and managed to solve it. I'm not sure if this is going to work for you, but it's worth a try:

When you're going to export for web, go into the Options Tab, look for "Canvas Resize Policy" and make it "Adaptative". Hopefully, this may solve your problem.

I see, definitely! Honestly, I'm still learning how to draw backgrounds/landscapes.  It's a long term journey, probably without end! I use the Youtube school. So, here are my recommendations (they are not related to pixel art, however, they greatly helped me to improve):

• Jordan Grimmer's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JordanGrimmer/videos
• Philip Sue Art's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@philipsue_art/videos
• The Creative Space's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@davidjosephcreativespace/videos
  

Outside of that, I watched tons of Bob Ross videos and many nature related documentaries! Developing love for nature also helps, because that will fill you with enthusiasm to learn and be inspired to make better art. Turning everything into pixels is the easiest part, because it will feel like painting. It takes time, so be patient.

But if you need something REALLY fast, briefly I can say: 

• Do some concepts and composition sketches (without worrying about colors and details)
• Try to go with greyscale alone (working only with values, lights and shadows)

When you're satisfied with the results...

• Make strong use of layers, and start working from background layers towards foreground
• Do thumbnails (in really small resolutions), until you're satisfied. If the landscape doesn't work well in thumbnail format, the chances are that it won't look good in bigger resolutions. But don't be discouraged if that happens. It's very easy to correct digital art!
• Increase the resolution and start adding small details and character
• Add color! Try experimenting with saturation, light and blend modes

Pixel Art. All the above can be called a pre-work to making a pixel version of the landscape. It will save you tons of time, because you will be able to envision the whole piece and still have many problems that could arise in the process already solved.

Most importantly... have FUN! Don't turn it into a chore. Also, let go perfeccionism. Just be happy with what you can accomplish, and gradually keep improving, step by step.

That's it!

Hello! I'm scheduling a sale that will include all 3 seasons tomorrow. If you're interested, stay tuned!

I`m currently developing a game, so it`s really hard to tell. That`s why I can`t promise anything for now.

Hey! Unfortunately, I cannot afford to do that for the time being. If someday I come back to it, I may consider it!

Thank you!

You're welcome! Thanks!

Hey, kitarp06!

No. Magic spells belongs to the Complete Set Season 2, available here: https://kiddolink.itch.io/vfx-complete-set-season-2-pixel-art

Hey, triplejumpgames!

There is no single pack that includes all VFX asset packages. However, from time to time, I usually make a special sale that includes all of them. If you are willing to wait, maybe I might consider to open the sale again this month. It's called VFX-fy your Life!!! This link: https://itch.io/s/75225/vfx-fy-your-life

Other than that, getting the Complete sets 1, 2 and 3 is another way to get all VFX made so far.

You're welcome! And have a good game devving!

Hey, Dreemore! Thanks for the suggestion! If I come back to work on these, I'll definitely consider it.

Hey, Ali ALC! I assume that you're referring to the sprite sheet of the energy beams effects. If so, I just uploaded the file with a transparent background (resolution of 96x96). The file is called: sprite_sheet_96x96_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND.png. It's available for download. If you need any help, please let me know.

You're welcome! And Happy New Year!

Hello, Elbody! Glad to know that the assets are being useful in your project. Your words are INVIGORATING!

Very nice! Programming is a very essential and powerful skill for game development. In the beginning, it's always a very humbling experience. But it gets more and more exciting as proficiency starts to set in. Interesting, challenging and fun, that's how programming should be!

Elbody, I wish you all the best! That may you reap all the good fruits of your efforts by dedicating to your game! Treasure the lessons that you learn along the way. Remember, it's a journey!

Hello, Gameberhood!

I'm very busy with work. However, looking at the animation that you showed, it would not be difficult to add similar animations to this SLASH VFX package, if that's what you mean by availability for work. Although I cannot promptly promised anything, maybe I can add similar animations to this pack soon as an update.

Now, if by availability for work you mean commision work, then unfortunately, I'm not.

Hey, threeearedbear!

Very nice game! I liked the idea of combining the potions around the items as a gimmick. Good job!

Jerenaux, thank you very much for the support!

I just played your game here. Amazing work! Here is my feedback:

• Gameplay: I liked the turn-based cooldown approach mechanics. It's very different than what I'm used to, but it works very well with just a couple of characters. I think that if the party size gets too big, that may be an issue though. Also, I think I found a bug in the tutorial. The yellow mark that show the movement range stopped working right after a second group came to my aid (I was losing in the tutorial). I didn't manage to get that yellow grid for movement to show again after the second group settled in. In relation to the characters vocations, I enjoyed the warrior and specially the black mage classes, but I didn't manage to be able to heal more than once per battle with the healer. It would be nice if the healing ability could regenerate. Or maybe I just don't know how to do that just yet. I played on casual and got destroyed hahaha. The matchmaking is working very well too.
• Audio: The BGM is fits very well with the arena atmosphere. The sound effects are also on the spot. Subtle and nice to hear, giving more life and a nice vibe to the battles.
• Graphics: The HUD, the Fonts, the character sprites, including the tileset and effects, everything reads very well. I liked the clean interface.

Your game is impressive! I'm glad that you found use for the assets in it!

Hey, Jerenaux!

If you want, you can kindly share the use you make with the assets right here, in the comment section.

Arte muito bonita e estudo bem documentado!
