Elements: Character Expansion 1 - Published

Hello! You knew this was coming!

I'm really excited to share this with you! We've been slowly building up this expansion pack for nearly half a year, so it feels great to finally have this one completed!

Most patrons have seen the early-release beta that I shared at the turn of the year. Now the final set has been put together and it's published on itch today!

Build your own characters! The TIME ELEMENTS series is all about modular pieces: so you can customize your own RPG sprites. Swap outfits, hairstyles, armor, weapons, and more. The characters are fully animated: take your gameplay to the next level with four-directional action combat! And all with a high-quality pixel art style like the your favorite RPG classics.

The first Time Elements Character Expansion pack has over 50 new modular pieces, so you can create more characters than you will need to fill an entire game world!

Features:

• Fully compatible with the pieces from the Elements Character Core Set

• Over 50 unique pieces that can create hundreds of characters

• Animations in all four directions: walk, attack, crouch, jump, and others

• Build your own sprites with the updated Character Generator!

• Includes 5 premade heroes and premade cultist NPC sprites in multiple colors

• Includes extras from the original release, including the 27-page PDF guide, so you can start here without needing the core set.

• Itch Store Page 

• Patron Download: (no longer available)

Reminder: Patron access to big new releases will be removed after a couple of months. This way the releases benefit currently active patrons. So grab it while you can!

(Note: If you're used to these packs as RPGMaker DLC, it will be released that way in the near future-- but that version goes through the publisher, so I'm not certain about the exact release date. Stay tuned!)

So... what's next? 

As I mentioned in a recent post, I think that I'm going to put together a small mini-pack with some basic farm animals in a new neutral style that will work well with these Elements sprites.

But my plan for that pack is very small-- it won't be anywhere near as big as the TF Animals sets. It will be 5 or 6 farm animals and maybe a few cats and dogs-- just enough to be useful animal life for most towns and villages.

Now that this expansion is released, and with Jubilee out on consoles, I think I'm finally done with all of that... hopefully this animals thing will only take me a couple of weeks to slap together.

Then, the real full-sized pack for Elements will be... well, right now I have a few different ideas. We'll get to all of them, but I'm just not sure which makes sense to do first... I think we'll have to revisit that topic once we get these farm animals out of the way.

OK-- that's it for today. I'll be back next week with a regular release from the request thread. Have a fantastic weekend.

See you then.

Thanks!
