Thank you so much for your words!

Hmmmmm this gives me food for thought. Thank you for your input, mate! :D

Hmmmm might even be worthy to have a batch randomizer. What do you think? Like, okay, you woulnd’t be able to check all of them when generated, but might be useful to have the tool generate an X amount of random characters without you having to randomize each one of them.

That is actually a great idea and it surprises me that not only I haven’t tought about that as well as no one else has suggested it before. Absolutely doable! :) Thank you for the input and suggestion

Hmmmm, I see. My bad, didn’t read the full link, thought it to be an itch page lol nonetheless, it is great to see the assets in action in a bigger project. The tilesets don’t get enough love - I am about to make 48x48 version of those to see if people who use RPGMaker are more interest in them. Not that you can’t use 32, but it requires some settings/files to be changed. Nonetheless, I digress!

Amazing work once again! :D I haven’t added this particular demo to the list yet - but both the Pixel Tools and PixUI are already there.

Aiiight, eager for that! :D

Hey there! So happy to hear that. I would love to see them! :D

FUCK YEH!

That is amazing mate, I am so happy for you. It is rewarding, ain’t it? :D That is a job well done.

You are absolutely right and the assets worked better than I expected, must I say! This is so rewarding, to see people using that stuff in creative ways, having the feeling that this art is enabling people to achieve their goals. Thank you for sharing, mate! :)

That is absolutely perfect, mate. Thank you so much for this exchange! :D

This is looking great! Such an amazing use case for my assets, didn’t expect to see them on a bullet hell. I am adding it to the public list of projects using the Tiny RPG series! :)

Wow, thank you a bunch, mate!

Yeah, on the long run I might add those to make the fonts more complete, so more people can use then on their games without trying to figure out what font would match while making their localisation.

Aight, I will hold you to that promise if I get to that! :D

Wow mate, moving away with your family all of the sudden and learning a new language is no small feat, kudos to you, I know how hard it gets. I also feel the same regarding too far-stretched plan, almost 40 and learned - the hard way - to take one step at a time and see how things work out before commiting to anything longer than a year.

Thank you for your feedback on the font! I will take a look on how you did it and get a better understanding of what is missing and what can be improved for future fonts. I will also take a look on how many cyrillic symbols I would have to make and asses if it is feasible.

Oh yeah, regarding all the licensing stuff, you are grand, mate! I am glad that we got to talk to each other thanks to the bundle, it is refreshing to see a fellow dev having so much to do with my stuff. :) Reach out to me whenever you have questions, suggestions or anything in between. All the best and keep me updated on your projects!

I appreciate you coming forward to ask more about the license! It is, indeed, CC-BY. I actually should write my own license for these since the only no-no for me is people re-selling these assets and/or claiming these are of their own making. But yeah, add the credit anywhere you find it plausible/feasible - no nitpicking there - and we are gold, redistribute it with your tool to your heart’s content!

I really like that you have a very solid plan set and I am more than happy to be able to contribute to it in such a small manner. If you need more complex proof of concepts I will gladly hand you a key for each full tileset I have now and a couple more there are to come - but, for these, I would ask to not redistribute the full version, of course.

Let me know your thoughts!

Oh yeah, also let me know if you find any weirdness on the fonts. I am still a newbie when talking about fonts and I know that some improvements can be made, especially regarding the kerning pairs.

Forgot to change from Draft to Published -_- my bad, just did so now.

I do! Let me turn on the promo discount for people owning any of those, check it back in a few.

Awesoooome! Adding it to the public list right now :D

This is looking amazing already! I deeply respect people that take out some of their time to deliver tools for the community, free of charge. GUI will always be a huge issue while game developing, it is so good to have resposive solutions. Kudos to you, mate! As soon as the link isn’t a secret link anymore I will add it to the list of projects using the Tiny RPG assets.

Thank you once again for your hard work and support!

You humble me, mate! Thank you so much for your kind words. I try to give something back to the community that helps me grow, thus I push CC0 whenever I can - mostly fonts and GUI, but I am planning on adding a bit more to the pool.

And please, let me know whenever it is a go! If you use any of my assets on your projects, just drop a link and I will add it to the public list on my profile :D Thank you for linking back to me, it helps me immensely!

Glad you liked it, mate!

Thank you so much for your kind words!

That is an unique request and totally feasible to add it as a skin. I might add a few merfolk items in the next update meanwhile - such as fins and fish tails - since a new skin will take a bit longer to craft! :)

Hmmm could you rephrase that question, please? I am not sure I got it right, sorry.

If you want Side View battlers, both the battle kits have sheets compatible with MZ/MV.

As for the Printer, it will be expanded with actions for Action RPGs, but will not necessarily be formatted to work as side view battlers.

That is sad to hear that you think so! :( But it might be an usage issue, below I will leave a few suggestions as well as two examples of usage:

• Half size will give you half pixels, wich will ruin pretty much everything. I strongly recommend resizing by integers and using the 1x version as a base;

• The tool exports two versions: a 1x version and a 2x version. Now, the choice depends on the coherence you are looking for. If you are going 1x, then the tileset also need the 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. Also, for the 1x version, you might prefer items on the tileset to be way smaller than the default RTP items. If you go with the 2x, the tileset also needs the 2:2 pixel aspect ratio - that is why I also work on tilesets for the series, that is such so the user have tilesets that matches the aesthetic;

• If you do not shy away from custom scripts, strongly consider writting up some code to use the 6f version of the sprites with continous loop instead of back and forth. The animation looks so much better with 6 frames;

See two examples below: One using RTP tilesets and another one with my tilesets from the Tiny RPG Series:

How do you like these? :) Keep in mind that my series do not use the same design guidelines as the default RMK RTP, instead I go for my own style - which can surely fit lots of tilesets that you find online, but might not be adequate to RTP tilesets and other assets if you are looking to keep the coherence.

Let me know your feedback!

As for now the sprites cover only walking animations. But I do plan adding other animations/poses as I go: Simple attack, running, carrying stuff, fishing and so on.

Heya mate!

I plan on adding more black hairstyles in the future - if you have any suggestions, feel free to do so. Right new there are four hairstyles that I consider to be Black, see samples attached below. If everything goes accordying to plan, more hairstyles will come on January/February together with new animations and hopefully, new body types. So, no better time than now to make suggestions!

Regarding Steam/Itch, I highly recommend getting it through itch since it benefits me and you both: Steam version requires the user to have either RPGMaker MZ or MV, since the sponsor/publisher is Gotcha Gotcha Games. Also the itch revenue is way better than Steam’s.

And thank you SO MUCH for the 5 stars, it helps bump the asset pack immensely, people understimate the difference it makes.

Edit: Seems like I can’t post animated gifs on the replies, so here are the gifs instead.

The Hero Printer is the combination of the contents of both the Char Workshop and the Face Workshop, but with the added functionality of a character building tool!

Since they overlap, you can consider the Char Workshop to be obsolete. I will update both, however. Whenever new sprites are done - be it new animations, new shapes or items - both will receive said sprites.

If you don’t mind editing sprites yourself and want to save some money, go with the Char Workshop. If you want to save time and quickly hash out characters while sacrificing some degree of freedom, go with the Printer.

That is so good to read! Hope this next year I will have some time to invest on this little spin-off of the Tiny RPG series

Thank you so much for all the support throught the year and beyond, mate. It means a lot and in a very real way: it got me through some random BS happening all at once. I always think about our exchanges and how they keep me moving forward. I hope to bring way more content this next year, as well as give back all the support. Thank you for having my back, mate! I wish you and yours a merry christmas and a happy new year with lots of prosperity and joy!

Of course it would! Feel free to do so and I will add the project to the list/collection of projects/games using the tiny RPG series in any way or form.

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 :)

Valeu demais, meu mano!

Fico muito feliz que o trampo tenha te inspirado, eu acho que esse é o grande potencial da colaboração com a comunidade. Espero ainda trazer muito conteúdo gratuito e conseguir equilibrar as contas com o conteúdo pago, pra poder fazer isso por muito tempo.

Quando tiver algo pronto, joga o link por aqui, eu sempre adiciona a lista de jogos feitos usando meu conteúdo aqui no itch! :)

That is really appreciated mate! :D Hope you can make good use of it

Thank you so much! I pour a lot of my heart into those, GUIs are challenging depending on the theme, but they are always so rewarding. Plus they are quite useful to everybody!

Just updated the Battle Kit II with RMK compatible sprites - sv-actors, sv-enemies and enemies. :)

Did it work? :D Let me know whenever you have the time to try it out!

Oh! There is one thing you can try.

I am assuming you are doing only the 3f version, right? Place an empty file, with the same name as your new hat on 3f, under assets/charsets/6f/hat. It always lookup at 6f first and builds the list from there, there is just no need to have anything on that file, it just has to be there, even if it is a blank PNG.

And yup for the skins. Remember that, if you are also doing facesets there are some extra steps to get everything right for the facesets as well!

EDIT: Keep in mind that the 6f being verified first is also true for skins, so if you are doing only 3f, remember to create an empty file on 6f as well, with the same name as your skin on 3f.

Well, only if you really need both of those. If you are going just for one of them, it is alright to create either just 3f or 6f, the terminal will tell you there is a missing file, but it will still work!

The Hero Printer, right? There is a file named NEWASSETS.txt inside the ZIP, it describes the whole process with an example. It is nothing too hard, just requires replacing/adding a couple of files on the right folders and reloading the tool :)

EDIT: Let me know if you run into any difficulties after giving it a read and trying it out.

No problemo! :)
