Alex the Hero: Full Animation Set

Hello! Today's release is a big one...

It's ya boy, Alex!

This is a collection of spritesheet animations that flesh him out as a fully playable hero.

It'll be perfect for prototypes, game jams, as a placeholder until you replace him with your custom hero-- or even as a hero in his own right. Maybe this will inspire a new adventure!

The cool thing is that he comes wi...

Marketplace/Fairground Stalls

Hello! Today's release is a two-for-one: Time Fantasy and Omega Modern.

Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request, and they also expand a potential fairground location for the two-style Ferris Wheel from earlier in this month.

The countertop parts of these tiles are left blank, because ...

TF Classic - Updated Fireplace Animation

Hello! Today's release will be useful if you're using the classic Time Fantasy tilesets.

You'll recognize these fireplace tiles from the original Time Fantasy tileset collection.

In the original set, I included a flame character animation that fit nicely into the fireplace... but as you you can...

Maid SV Battler Feather Duster

Hello! It's a bonus release! :)

Earlier this year I shared this side-view battler for the Time Fantasy maid sprite.

Someone suggested to me the idea of giving her a feather duster weapon, and I thought it was a fun idea-- especially because she has a feather duster animation in the 2025-05-14 15:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Elements Wolf Head

AwoooooooOOOOOoooooooo!

Ah-- the time has come!

After the previous tileset expansion, we're diving back into the Elements character pieces for our summer project.

I have a big list of parts that we're going to work through; and in many cases they come directly from pa...

Ferris Wheel

Hello! Today's release is a big boy--

Now, admittedly my alignment isn't on the preview perfect here... but that's because these were designed so you can implement them however works best for your project. The circle motion you see here was slapped together quickly in game maker (you can get a similar effect in RM using 'pictures')--

...a better programmer could make the movement look better... ๐Ÿ™ˆ...

Insect Champion SV Battler

Hello-- today's release fulfills a longtime patron request!

The champion of the Insect Tribe is finally able to join your party as a hero-- or maybe you encounter him as an enemy!

This guy proved to be very challenging because of the four-armed design. TBH, some parts of it are a little questionab...

End of Month - April

Hello! It's the end of another month. Let's review our productivity:

Patron Club:

Fog Clouds

Hello! I hope you had a nice weekend. Today's release can add some more atmosphere to your game project.

You saw an early version of these clouds in the preview recording of my Sky Island tiles from last week. Those clouds were super sketchy and rough-- it was more of a test thing than final assets.

Sky Island Cliff Tiles

Hello! I hope you had a nice Easter weekend. Today's release is based on a popular patron request-- I wanted to make a big one for this week.

Every RPG needs floating islands!

I've made similar tiles in the past that could be used for this sort of thing, but those were more afterthought add-ons, and this time I wanted to focus on adding depth to the cliff bottoms.

I hope that these ...

Robot Police Tank Centaur

Hello! Today's release is a fun one, inspired by a patron request.

This guy has two animations as you can see in my little preview above: an idle animation and a downwards-walk. The idea is that he can come in from off screen to block the player's path, and maybe initiate a boss encounter!

There's also two different design variants:

The Frogmother

Hello! Today's release is-- *ribbit cough cough* -- excuse me, I have a frog in my throat.

Seems like there's somebody who won't put up with the forest boys' mischief!

Wood Plank Wall Toppers

Hello! Today's release fulfills a patron request.

Last month I made these wall-topper slabs based on a patron suggestion. Now I'm following it up with a wooden texture variant.

This texture's actually based on one made for previous patron releases. I've converted it to match the size of the stone to...

Bear and Bearskin Rug

Hello! Today's asset was inspired by a patron request...

I liked the request for a bearskin rug because it'd be a nice addition to the hunting trophies from a previous patron release.

I knew that I'd previously made a bear, so the first place I looked was the original TF Animals pack... but that...

It's the next chapter of your RPG adventure!

This tileset collection includes everything you need to build stunning castle exteriors and detailed interiors, complete with a throne room fit for kings. After your heroes get thrown into the dungeon, they'll need to venture below and escape through the murky sewers and explore the eerie c...

Update: C&C this weekend

Howdy! The Elements: Castles and Catacombs tileset pack is finally done!

... well, mostly done. :P

I spent all week on these tilesets and they came out pretty sweet. The plan was to get them ready to release this morning, and indeed-- the tiles are finished on schedule!

I do want to add some extra animation sheets though: if you know my previous releases, you'll know that th...

Patreon Request Thread April 2025

Hello! It's the beginning of a new month.

If you were expecting an April Fools prank today-- I accidentally posted it on Sunday afternoon! It published immediately instead of scheduling. I'm sorry the joke was ruined for patrons.

Today I'm publishing the cube storage set on my itch page as a free expansion for the 2025-04-01 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post

It's another end of month recap-- we've done a lot of work this time. Let's get going:

My top storage hack for Spring 2025!

Hope you're feeling healthy fam! It's your boy with another hack that I picked up on TikTok-- the IKEA KALLAX cube storage system!

Your gold, elixirs, and undergarments all stay organized-- even when a hero comes rummaging. So you can vibe-- let bro declutter your space for you, and then let KALLAX flex your latest restock haul.

Catacombs Tileset - Patron Beta

Hello! This set is huge-- thanks for waiting for this one.

This is a special patreon beta version of my upcoming Castles and Catacombs tileset expansion pack. This beta includes the tileset assets for the catacombs+sewers which will make up the main biome of the pack.

As you can see-- this set turned out to be incredibly detailed and hugely complicated; so today's beta version foc...

Maid SV Battler

Hello! Today's another battler to go with a classic Time Fantasy sprite.

The maid character sprite was originally made for patreon, and then later included in the NPC pack with extra animations. Today we finish her up with a SV battler.

Radio Tower Tiles

Hello! I've got a cool tile add-on for you today.

I was happy to see a suggestion for a radio tower in this month's request thread, because there's a big radio tower setpiece in a game that I'd like to make eventually. I think you can see the extra love that went into this one!

I hope that this is useful to you.

Sprite Sheets on EZ Street!

Hello -- today's release is something unusual-- but very useful.

This is a tool that I started to make for my own use, and then shortly realized how useful it could be for patrons. So I spent all weekend following through with the idea and now we have a new toy to play with. ๐Ÿ˜

What is it?

This is a tool for quickly rearranging and exporting spritesheets and tile...

Cabbage Creeper

Hello! This is a fun idea that I've had for a while.

The cabbage creeper hides in the foliage, waiting for unsuspecting passersby... and then... boom!

There's a few animations here on this sheet, designed so you can maximize this guy's gameplay potential as an on-map obstacle for your players to avoid!

The RM sheet is organized to make it easy to use the an...

Animated Item Bag

Hello! today's release fills a useful patron request.

Four-frame animation that the player can open up like a treasure chest. Should provide some extra depth or versatility for any loot systems. Can also be used as tiles or icons (16x16).

The sheet is arranged like the treasure chests from the Elements set: the same colors if you use consistent rarities/types, you can probably overwrite d...
