Choice for next Pixel Myth Pack!

[Vinedrius]

@King Danner:  The sprites are going to be my own base, a tile and a half tall and a little thinner than XP's RTP.  There's an example of the style of busts I'll be making in my resource thread.

I think xp rtp is already thin so any thinner than that would be too skinny imo but I guess we should see how it turns out first

 

[Sharm]

I was going for more realistic and not chibi, that's why.  I'll admit, I'm pretty tempted to make all the characters on a Mack or XP base as well, but those introduce limitations on how I could sell it.

 

[Ruby]

Are you going to make add ons to what you already have? I.E more exterior objects or anything? Or will that all come with future packs?

Corsair for the win.

 

[Sharm]

@Ruby:  Well, the plan was to make more packs not expand old ones.  I'll be making sure that the additional packs work as well as possible with the older ones.  For instance, the sand tile I've made for Corsair will have a transition to the dirt tile in Germania.  There is a small update for Germania planned where I'll fix a few things and add XP formatted files but I probably won't be making new stuff.  I've got so many packs I want to make that going back and updating older sets just isn't a priority.  If there's something specific you're looking for though, feel free to let me know.  I can see if I can make it fit in the next set and I'm not opposed to making things here and there for Members+.

Corsair. I want to see some pirates. XD

I'm glad that you are making new character sprites for your style as well. This is one of the things that held me back purchasing the Germania pack (that and I don't have a lot of money to spend), because I didn't know how well it would work with mack sprites, which I'm using mostly. So, I'm more interested in the sprites than the corsair pack (although that sounds great, too!)

Do you think, you will some day offer a Pixel Myth Bundle?

 

[Sharm]

I'm surprised how interested everyone is in the sprites, I would have thought people would prefer using existing sprites.

Yeah, I will probably bundle it at some point, but not any time soon.

 

[Candacis]

Well, between the standard sprites, mack and the ds sprites (and those really only go with the ds tilesets) there is not much too choose from for most people for VX/Ace. At least as far as I know.

One of the reasons I wanted the rural farm set was that it had new sprites to go with it.

So, I think, a new sprite set, fully fleshed out, could offer a much needed variety in that area. There are already a lot of tilesets and portrait resources as packs available, but sprites? Not so much. If you are not a spriter yourself and you don't have the money to commission a whole new sprite set, then right now, you are a bit stuck with the standard rtp. This is why I think, there could be a market for sprite packs.

Any estimate when we can expect your sprite set?

 

[Sharm]

Ah, yeah, I see.  Having more sprite styles to choose from would be nice.

No, sorry, it's still too early to give an estimate.  Sprites aren't my strength so it's going to take some time and a lot more revision than other stuff.

I'm hoping for Oasis because it has the most culture behind it. Also, I need anceint ruins tiles for my game. Although it doesn't look like that would be the case. If i had to pick a second, I'd say the pirate one. castle and north pole are both dead last for me, because I already have all the castle stuff i need, and the north pole I can't use at all in my game

EDIT: OH! could you put tiles in the pirate one for a ship graveyard?! I just had an idea of a possible direction my game story could go. By possible, I mean in the game, not in development

Edit: aw, it's probably too late anyway...

She started working on the Corsair pack over 2 months ago.

aw! Late for the party. Oh well, I'll just dance around drunkedly with this lampshade on my head untill i fall in the pool with my clothes on

 

[100LittleDreams]

But I like them all. qwq

 

[whitesphere]

I think as long as people keep buying her Pixel Myth packs --- the artwork is excellent --- she'll probably end up making them all, eventually.  Of course, that's just my guess.

 

[Sharm]

Yes, that is the plan. Keep making more Pixel Myth packs until people stop buying them or I run out of ideas. I don't think the running out of ideas thing is very likely though. . . .

 

[whitesphere]

Now, should we use XP or Mack style sprites with the Pixel Myth packs?  Or the DS/Mack hybrids?

 

[wynautastronaut]

I would love to see any of the first three. Not as interested in North Pole, but would probably buy it too. I really like your Germania tiles!

 

[Sharm]

DS/Mack hybrids? I don't know what those are! Honestly, if it's a tile and a half high it'll probably work. I think even the LPC sprites work. As of now there is no official best sprites for the pack. I am in the process of making a character pack with original sprites, it should be finished before spring.

 

[amerk]

I think it means to make Mack styled characters (1 and 1/2 tiles high - 48 pixels high) but in DS style.
