2D Animated spritesheets...anyone interested?

[ChrisV]

Hi everyone,

 

Not sure if this fits in this thread, but here it goes.

I'm wondering if there would be great interest for 2D animated spritesheets to use in the Leadwerks engine?

Currently, I've made almost two hundred animated spritesheets, in a variety of themes (explosions, light FX, smoke, special FX, liquids, and a lot more...), and I'll be making a lot more.

Here are just a few of my creations (scaled down in size). The original are 768x768, with each frame being 128x128, but I can change their sizes if needed.

 

 

 

 

I would give some packs for free, and probably also sell themed packs for a small price.

 

Comments are appreciated. Thanks.

 

Cheers

Actually this would be great! I think just a couple free basic packs like an explosion and like, a sparkle or something would be good, and the rest be for money. Not too much though, just a buck or two for each pack.

I support these in my engine so could use these now. I have my own design source for these but I think there would be market for them.

I think there would only be a market if you sold them each .99 or 1.99, and if you make a bunch of packs, say, explosions with 5 different explosion sprites and sold it for 4.99.

Thanks guys for the nice comments and suggestions.

The idea is to make such spritepacks (each a different theme) with 10 to 20 spritesheets in one pack, and sell 'em for between 3.00 and 5.00 euros. (3.00 euro = 2.49 GBP or 3.97 USD)

I would also provide a small program I made to view the sprites animated.

nice, that is a bit cheap you could maybe sell them for a bit even

How does one get these to work inside of Leadwerks? I want to start using some.

One option is to cut the whole texture to frames and put it into a pak(optional but make sense for smaller file) and make a class with the ,I don't know lets say 24 textures, as an array and make it like for a animation with a frame value ( caus you need a integer for the frame when you write texture[frame] ,use the AppTime function like this:

if(AppTime() > timer)
{
frame++;
timer = AppTime() + /* now the delay in millisecs*/ 100;
}

 

The second option is to make a kind of grid and a second buffer.The you render the actuall textureframe to the buffer with the given gridpoint for the x,y like DrawImage(t_explosion,X,Y,256,-256); .So you make a kind of cameraspot for the individual frames.
