Hi! I'm using these (modified) for a WIP project and was wondering if the license theoretically allows selling stickers of the modified versions? Not sure if stickers would fall under redistribution. No worries if it's not allowed :)
You can sell the in-game stickers, but not the physical ones
Good to know, thanks!
Hi Otterisk! I'm all finished with the Demo release of my newest 2D platformer I'm currently working on in Godot 4.4, Platform Kid! Here's the link: Platform Kid by Joshington. Go check it out if you have the time!
for some reason, the game brings back Super Mario memories
Yeah, because it's a 2D platformer.
Hi! Am I allowed to use the sample in my commercial project (which will take a few years to finish)? I don't need the other animations. Also amazing assets!❤️
Yeah, you’re good to go! I wrote the license section just for this, so give it a read
Hi Otterisk! Just to let you know, I'll be using your base character for my 2D platformer I'm working on in Godot 4.4, Platform Kid, because it just simply looks absolutely amazing. No wonder it's one of the most used asset packs on itch.io. Thank you SO MUCH for this asset pack, and wish me all the best!!! ❤️💫🎮🕹️
May God bless your project!
Hello, I used your base character in a small game I recently made (https://alt-kreation.itch.io/dont-play-games)! It's a great asset. Very well laid out. Thank you!
Just wanted to let you know, the hands on the sample idle aseprite file don't match up with the png file. I don't know whether it's intentional or not, but in case it isn't, I figured you'd want to know.
The base white sprite featured pretty prominently in my jam game and it worked great!

Is there a way to add premade hair or outfits to the base sprite?
You must learn character customization on your game engine. I like composition method. Each body part as a gameobject, animate it on Unity animator, and in runtime just swap the sprite.
Manual method you must do frame-by-frame animation on sprite editor (Aseprite/Pixel Studio/Photoshop) which slower to make and bad in some conditions
I meant do you have hair and clothing sprite sheets that we can overlay, I've seen some creators refer to it as the "paper doll method" or something like that
I’m still considering it, not all devs have the same approach when it comes to skin swapping. And what you meant is more suitable for skeletal animation, it’s less suitable for frame-by-frame animation (it would need to be combined, as I mentioned before)
Really love this base! Seems you've put a lot of love and care into the animations.
Have you thought about adding in a staff animation to add a second magic option?
I’m indeed planning to make it :)
Hello, I recently purchased your asset pack. I noticed that the animations for 'shear', 'milking', and 'brush' only face one direction. Could you please provide the complete set of animations for the other directions?
The idea to only have single direction comes from Harvest Moon. I’m not sure about adding more directions, but we will see
Hey bro, I'm going to use your character for a commercial game. I need to give credit or something (I'm clarifying that I'll be using a non-premium version), and then I'll create my own animations and new characters based on your project. Would that be a problem?
credit isnt necessary :) and of course you can create your own animations and new characters. Good luck!
Hey it seems there is an issue with the watering animation of the basic guy. Any chance of a fix?
Would you consider adding a shield animation? I'm experimenting with non-violent combat where the player can use a shield to block and knock-back enemies.
I used the base character in my NSJS jam submission as the player. https://the-real-tkd.itch.io/tester . Thank you for the asset. It was compatible with the game's theme.
We used this asset as a base for our game https://gringo-charlatan.itch.io/the-dark-kitchen. Thank you!
Heya this is an amazing template if you don't mind i'll use the animations as bases to a charater for a game jam, i changed it a lot so it doesn't even look like it started from this but thank you very much anyway.
Hi, thanks for using mine for your game jam. Good luck!
thank you very much!!!Could i use it this for my project as practice?(oops my poor English)
hey thank you for this, i used the character for my first game :D

https://joshuajrodrigues.itch.io/still-with-you
i used your character for gmtk, thank you so much !
Thx for your work, I'll be using your character's base in my indie game... Do you think I can put you in the opening credits of the game?
Credit is not necessary, but if you want you can credit me. Thanks! :)
love this, my suggestions would be a swimming animation, sitting animation and a net / bug catching animation, great stuff though!
i am open to suggestions, thanks!
I bought the bundle. I am not finding tile size in read me file. Could please tell me tile size for this character. Do you know any plan to add player character with color
the size for the character is 16x16, but the canvas is 80x80 to compensate the animation.
Could you add a Rolling animation please? Thank you!
Hi, I was planning to create a personal project using your player asset and was wondering you would like to be credited if I wanted to incorporate credits.
credit is not necessary, but i really appreciate it :)
Ye I know but like, should put your profile or like just the bundle logo or whatever.
only Otterisk is enough :)
Any chance for 8-direction movement instead of 4? Happy to pay of course :-)
How much do I need to spend to get all the animations? USD
22.49$?
4.99$, the bundle is 10% off (22.49$)
what are the dimensions? i am trying to animate him in godot but the idle animation moves...
the char size is 16px, but the canvas is 80px to compensate for the animations. And wdym with idle animation moves?
so 16x16? For the each individual sprite? I was just asking coz for some reason when i try and animate him inside of Godot 4.3 the idle animations seems to go from left to right instead of staying still? its wierd
I think you was wrong when you sliced the sprite/exported it. As I said before, you must slice the sprite 80px in height and width. (But the char size is 16px!) That’s why game engines come with a lot of features (to solve this thing).
you can contact me on instagram or discord (click on the custom pixel button)
Your assets are awesome! I bought the bundle. Any thought to adding a dodge animation? Would love to see a swim, horse riding, and bug net catching as well.
hello, just ask some question can i use this for testing my game and my reference to make my own character ?
really cool sprites btw
Epic sprite! Also Where do I get the sword animation?
the free version includes the basics. you have to buy the pack to get the full set
k thx
hi, can i use this asset in my game ? I planning to make a mobile game.
yup, you can use it both commercial and non-commercial
Thanks. By the way, you can add running animations when the character has an item in his hand. This is just a suggestion, I really liked the asset 👌
using this in a scratch project! thanks!
i gonna buy this pack i loved
thank you so much! now i love you
thanks for the asset pack. we would like to use it on our class project for exam.
Goodluck for the exam!
thanksss :3
Thank you for this great asset pack! I used the character in my first game, and it helped a lot. Really appreciate your work!
Thank you, using your assets.
Good luck on your project :)
I purchased your sprite and used it in my game. But I found a small issue, you didn't update the picture of the wand, I hope you can add it.
fixed, thanks for informing me
