Construct 3 (Affiliate Link)

Looking to make a 2D game but have no programming knowledge? Check out Construct 3, an easy to use SDK that is great for making 2D games. Construct 3 runs on your browser and works offline. There’s nothing to install. You can start working from your laptop then seamlessly pick up where you left off on your desktop (and vice versa). I personally use Construct 3 to test my game assets. There’s a free trial available so you can try it out before you commit.

Pixel Art Vampire Survivors Inspired Game Assets

by

With the growing popularity of games such as Vampire Survivors and HoloCure, it inspired me to make similar game assets. The objective is to create characters and enemies with simple animation frames between 2 to 6. As roguelite games such as Vampire Survivors tend to have tons of enemies on screen, the small animation frames help to reduce performance drops.

Character and enemy sizes are around 32 x 32 pixels. Each asset pack comes with two player characters and 10 enemies. Check the links below for more details.

Looking to make your next role playing game? This might be the game asset for you. Animated RPG Icons is not just any game asset, it is specifically designed to bring your role-playing game to the next level with animated icons. Whether you’re creating games similar to Final Fantasy Tactics, Shining Force, or Golden Sun, these icons will help you to set the perfect fantasy tone for the players.

One of the biggest benefits of using Animated RPG Icons is the pixel art style. Pixel art has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. The retro look and feel of pixel art creates a unique charm that still holds up really well by today’s standard.

Animated RPG Icons comes with 40 unique icons, each one representing a different aspect of fantasy. From swords and shields to magic wands and coins, these icons have almost everything you need to bring your game to life. Each icon is designed to be easily recognizable, so players will quickly understand the meaning behind each one. The resolution of 32 by 32 pixels also ensures that the icons will look great without compromising details.

If you have any suggestions for new icons that you would like to see added to the game asset, feel free to send me a message.

Animated RPG Icons is available over at Itch.io, Unity Store or GameDevMarket.

Pixel Sidescroller Background City Update

by

pixel art city scenes for shoot em up games (SHMUP) game asset. Includes 6 different scenes.

Pixel Sidescroller Background City has been updated to version 1.2.1.

In this update, I’ve incorporated smaller buildings and objects in all six scenes to create a more distant perspective and optimize screen space.

This update is now live over at my Itch.io and GameDevMarket page. Unity Store version is still waiting for approval.

About Pixel Sidescroller Background City

Pixel Sidescroller Background City is a pixel art style game asset build for sidescroller shoot em up (SHMUP) in mind.

This set includes 6 different scenes, each with their own unique look and feel. You’ll find buildings for a bustling metropolis during the day, a dramatic sunset, a night time scene, abandoned buildings reminiscence of a collapsed society, a snowy / rain scene, and a cyberpunk-inspired version.

Each image is separated as its own PNG file with a transparent background, making it easy to drop them into your game and start using them right away. The transparent background also allows you to mix and match assets between scenes or easily integrate with any existing game assets you may have.
