Upper Tiles: Foliage and Shadows

Hello! I think that today's release will be a useful one!

You've seen these before, but I don't think that I've shared the assets.

Last summer, when we were working on the monster project, these upper-layer foliage and shadow tiles were visible in my gameplay videos. Some patrons were interested in these, but at the time I was focused on the monsters and put it aside... until now :)

VV Hero Sprite - TF Recolor

Hello! Today's release is a little bonus post based on a patron suggestion.

You'll remember this special character who I shared during the holidays:

Today's release adds a color variant for use with the Time Fantasy style. I hope that it's useful to you.

Here's the download:

Elements Fishin' Poles

Hello! (ง •̀_•́)ง Let's get to work!

These will eventually be released with the next character expansion pack, so in the meantime this as a special pre-release for patrons. I hope that it's useful for you! It took a bit of work, but I think it came out really nicely.

I procrastinated on this because I knew the pole wouldn't to fit into the 3x3-tile -frame that the Ele...

This one's another patron request that builds out the existing series and helps fill some holes in the Time Fantasy series.

Elements Catacombs Biome

Hello! Let's have some fun today: here are new tiles from the upcoming Elements set.

I think these are coming along really nicely, and I'm happy to share them with you for today's patron release. Last month, we had a poll to decide which pack would be the next priority, and the winner was to stay the course with Elements. so this week I took the first steps into the new ...

Planet Rover

Hello! I have a fun release to add to the recent Alien Planets release!

I had this idea after a conversation in a discord server, and it made me think that it'd be a perfect fit for our Omega Modern alien set.

Note: this only has two directions (left and right)...

Small Update to the Animals 1 Pack

Hello! Today's release is a small update to a pack that I released a while ago.

This might be a weird one; but someone posted this as a request on a reply to the Animals pack on itch-- and it JUST SO HAPPENED to show up in my notifications at the moment I was sitting down to work, and was just about to scroll through my to-do list of patron ideas.

Something about the timing of the notification seemed like a poignant coincidence. Say what you want about such things, but I've been m...

Guest release: TF Paperdoll Collection

Hello! Today's release is a unique one.

A couple weeks ago I got a message from a patron. He'd been working on a project that got cancelled and didn't want all of this work to go to waste. So he offered to share these with us! I hope that these are useful to you.

This zip includes a large collection of paperdoll-style sprite pieces that have been adapted from my original Time Fantasy...

WotF Hero Sprite Update

Hello! Here's a little bonus post!

I released this guy a couple weeks ago. Today's release provides a sprite fix (he was missing the hat in some poses), and I also exported a second set that uses a full-color palette style.

I hope these are useful for you.

Poll: Which Asset Pack next?

Hello! This morning I am asking for your insight into our next project.

(I have a little explanation that leads into the poll. If you're not interested in my reasoning behind the process here, then feel free to skip to the "patron poll" part)

Where are we right now:

Luchador (Full Walking sprite)

¡Hola! Today's release fulfills a popular patron request.

This is the latest in a series of sprites that were originally made to be simply animated NPCs-- and then after popular patron interest, I've gone back and made full walking-sprites for them:

Time Fantasy Remastered Cliffs

Hello! Let's get going with today's release :)

Oof-- I said I wasn't gonna do it! But this is what I was working on throughout my holiday break, and I've finally gotten them into something that we can work with. This set builds off of the idea that we first explored with these tiles, which I showed...

Proto-TF Terrain Tiles

Hello! Here's an interesting one!

Past couple weeks, I've been looking at the various Time Fantasy terrains and cliffs and thinking about how I might organize and standardize them into a master set-- mostly because of this idea for the 2025-01-10 16:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Holly-Inspired foliage tiles

Hello! It's the first release of the year and we're filling a patron request.

I thought that the suggestion for holly was a good one given the season; and also because I had recently encountered some holly out on the hiking trail. Seemed fortuitous! So I went with it.

Although-- after making the initial tile/icons of some holly leaves and berries, I went ahead and combined them in different ways ...

End of Month Dec 2024

Hello, Happy New Year! This post has links for the monthly recaps.

I'll be back on New Years Eve (Tuesday) with the end-of-year post, which will have the usual reflections and goals for the future.

December 2024 Patron Releases:

Vale Vane - Hero Sprite character

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! Today's bonus release is a special present!

This is a character that you might have seen before-- she was featured in 2023's "patron request thread" banner artwork.

I was reminded about her last week when I designed the Hogan sprite for the RPG Maker project (I ...

Remastered Elevation/Cliff Rocks

Hello! Today's release has a lot of potential!

So I was getting started on my little idea for a Time Fantasy world map sample game.

I needed to export some new tilesets to make maps. So of course I started with the base tiles that are core to the Time Fantasy style-- the main te...

Hero of the World of Time Fantasy

Greetings-- today's release is a fun one, especially if you're using Time Fantasy sprites!

This is a brand new hero character in the Time Fantasy style. He has four outfit variations with full walking animations and four emotion animations for each outfit.

There's a lot to talk about with this one, so first here are the downloads:

New Overworld Cliffs and Coast

Hello! I have some new tiles today that expand on an earlier release.

So now that all the expansions for Time Fantasy are done, I wanted to revisit that old idea for an ultimate overworld map tileset. I thought it would be a great way to bring the whole set together and we could fill in the blanks on the overworld for any expansion pack or biome that needs it.

So I went bac...

Meteors

AAAAH ITS THE END OF THE WOOOOOOOOORLD

This release is based on a patron request. There's two meteors here: a larger one and a smaller one. If you use a bunch of these and offset their speeds and animations, I bet that it could work pretty well for a sick meteor shower effect.

Anyways, here's the details:

Weapon Impact Effect Animation

Hello! This was something that a patron asked for and I was happy to have it handy. I think it would be a good idea to share with the patron group.

This is a small effect animation that is designed for weapon impacts, and will be particularly useful for small combat impacts.

You've seen it before throughout this summer in the gameplay clips from the 2024-12-05 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View Post

It's the final request thread of the year! Let's end strong!

The requested assets will be released to the whole patron group.

End of Month Nov 2024

Every month seems to go by fast these days, but this one even more than usual. Maybe it's because I'm a big sucker for the holiday season and with Thanksgiving this past week and Christmas around the corner, we're right in the middle of it!

Anyways-- let's recap the productivity from this past month.
