Greetings!

Are games that blend the arcade format with RPG elements allowed? For example, games inspired by The King of Dragons and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. These are beat-'em-up games with RPG elements, such as leveling up and automatically changing the player's stats during a run. The same applies to many Castlevania titles, as well as action RPGs such as Aggelos. I'm asking just to be sure about what will be considered a valid entry for the jam.

I'm not sure if I'll be joining and making a game within those 30 days, but I tend to lean more toward action-oriented games rather than turn-based ones.

Thanks!

Thanks, degisikaplumbaga!

Hey, manhtuan210996! Thank you! 

No, the VFX Collection Volume 6, 5 and 4 belong to the VFX Complete Set Season 2. And the Energy Ball VFX Pack belongs to the VFX Collection Volume 5. I hope this helps!

Thank you! You're definitely an artist! I believe we can bring artistry to pretty much anything, even programming. It's a way of thinking... or we could also say that it's a way of being.

By the way...

Beautiful game! Best chess game I played! I managed to 1cc on normal (web version), now hard! I am looking forward for the full game release! The art style is so nice, I'm taking notes here. Great job!

Edit: 

Hey, UpDownStrange! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your interest, but unfortunately I don't take commission work.

Greetings, gamerviz! Sure, I just added the file to this asset pack. Just have in mind that I did this animation (a long time ago)  by improvising in order to have a reasonably interesting animated cover. It was not mean to be sold. But now is here! The files are called: cover_thumbnail_liquid_vfx.aseprite and cover_thumbnail_liquid_vfx.gif.

Thank you so much for you interest and support!

Thank you, Victor Gustavo! I appreciate the feedback. This project is archived, but I won't stop.

Hello, OneWeakness!  Thank you! That's not required, but if you really want to, then you may credit me as "kiddolink" and link to my profile: https://kiddolink.itch.io/ .

Hello! No, the license is stated only in the asset page.

Great game! The story and gameplay are fantastic! It would be nice to have an infinite mode and score system, so I could be playing it much more!

Wow! It took me a while! What a blast! It's a short but dense one. Very well made. So many good game design principles applied altogether. It inspires me! In relation to the aesthetics, what a cute beautiful protagonist. Lady Apple-chan? Anyway, very nice character design.

Hey, 1up Indie2! Thank you!

Yes, I just needed one color. But it`s very easy to change the sprite sheet color with any kind of image or pixel editor. In case of a pixel editor, just use the the bucket tool (there are also online tools, such as this: https://www.piskelapp.com/ ). Have fun!

By the way, I put the files into a .zip file, called Cover_Smoke_Effect.zip, in order to organize things.

Hey! I just added the sprite sheet. The file is called: cover_effect-Sheet_315x250t.png

Enjoy the effect!

Hello, skagns852! At first, I didn't understand your request, because there is simply no video! But then I thought that, maybe, you're referring to the package's animated gif thumbnail, which indeed includes an effect. If that's the case, I already included the effect used in the cover of the asset in the whole package. Now, the file it's called cover_effect.gif. Have in mind that the effect was hand drawn in pixel art for thumbnail purposes. It's not high resolution digital art. To be fair, there is a description of the asset package's content in the page explaining what is included. I recommend reading it attentively. 

Please, let me know if that's the effect that you were requesting! Have a nice day!

Hey, jwtstudio! For now, I have no plans to add new VFXs to the set. But if I come back to it in the future, I'll definitely consider your suggestion!

Hey, goofyillustrator! This Set is already a bundle that contains many individual packages that are sold individually. Right now, I am making a sale that include all my VFX packages released so far. In case you're interested, you can check it here: VFX-fy your LIFE!!!

Thank you!

Greetings, SGHarlekin! Thank you very much for the support!
I added the frames and spritesheets with each frame being at the 192x192 resolution. If something is not right about the files, let me know! It was an automatic conversion, so I checked most of them to be sure.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't do commissions. I thought about adding more animation packs such as this, but I'm busy with a game project.

Sure! I should have done that with all packs that include this one. In the Bundle Season 3, it's called "sprite_sheet_96x96_VFX_SLASH_VOL_2.zip "

Don't worry, if you need something, feel free to just ask!

Hey, thanks! I just uploaded the file. It's called "sprite_sheet_96x96.zip".

Amazing! It actually opened an animation I had in Krita perfectly. Good job!

Hi! I'm not sure if you're referring to the "VFX-fy your life" sale. But if that's the case, I'm planning to schedule it for the next week.

Hey! The sale ended on July 1st.

It shows here: https://itch.io/s/75225/vfx-fy-your-life

Gummy Grenade Games, what a delightful surprise! Your game looks very neat and pretty! I'm playing it here, almost halfway through to beat the pinata.

I'm glad that you liked it!

Hello! I had the same problem and managed to solve it. I'm not sure if this is going to work for you, but it's worth a try:

When you're going to export for web, go into the Options Tab, look for "Canvas Resize Policy" and make it "Adaptative". Hopefully, this may solve your problem.

I see, definitely! Honestly, I'm still learning how to draw backgrounds/landscapes.  It's a long term journey, probably without end! I use the Youtube school. So, here are my recommendations (they are not related to pixel art, however, they greatly helped me to improve):

• Jordan Grimmer's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JordanGrimmer/videos
• Philip Sue Art's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@philipsue_art/videos
• The Creative Space's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@davidjosephcreativespace/videos
  

Outside of that, I watched tons of Bob Ross videos and many nature related documentaries! Developing love for nature also helps, because that will fill you with enthusiasm to learn and be inspired to make better art. Turning everything into pixels is the easiest part, because it will feel like painting. It takes time, so be patient.

But if you need something REALLY fast, briefly I can say: 

• Do some concepts and composition sketches (without worrying about colors and details)
• Try to go with greyscale alone (working only with values, lights and shadows)

When you're satisfied with the results...

• Make strong use of layers, and start working from background layers towards foreground
• Do thumbnails (in really small resolutions), until you're satisfied. If the landscape doesn't work well in thumbnail format, the chances are that it won't look good in bigger resolutions. But don't be discouraged if that happens. It's very easy to correct digital art!
• Increase the resolution and start adding small details and character
• Add color! Try experimenting with saturation, light and blend modes

Pixel Art. All the above can be called a pre-work to making a pixel version of the landscape. It will save you tons of time, because you will be able to envision the whole piece and still have many problems that could arise in the process already solved.

Most importantly... have FUN! Don't turn it into a chore. Also, let go perfeccionism. Just be happy with what you can accomplish, and gradually keep improving, step by step.

That's it!

Hello! I'm scheduling a sale that will include all 3 seasons tomorrow. If you're interested, stay tuned!

I`m currently developing a game, so it`s really hard to tell. That`s why I can`t promise anything for now.

Hey! Unfortunately, I cannot afford to do that for the time being. If someday I come back to it, I may consider it!

Thank you!

You're welcome! Thanks!

Hey, kitarp06!

No. Magic spells belongs to the Complete Set Season 2, available here: https://kiddolink.itch.io/vfx-complete-set-season-2-pixel-art

Hey, triplejumpgames!

There is no single pack that includes all VFX asset packages. However, from time to time, I usually make a special sale that includes all of them. If you are willing to wait, maybe I might consider to open the sale again this month. It's called VFX-fy your Life!!! This link: https://itch.io/s/75225/vfx-fy-your-life

Other than that, getting the Complete sets 1, 2 and 3 is another way to get all VFX made so far.

You're welcome! And have a good game devving!

Hey, Dreemore! Thanks for the suggestion! If I come back to work on these, I'll definitely consider it.

Hey, Ali ALC! I assume that you're referring to the sprite sheet of the energy beams effects. If so, I just uploaded the file with a transparent background (resolution of 96x96). The file is called: sprite_sheet_96x96_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND.png. It's available for download. If you need any help, please let me know.

You're welcome! And Happy New Year!
