Hello! I’m a big fan of your work, and I really love this asset. I’m considering purchasing it and using it in my game.

I was wondering if there might be any plans to release a larger or expanded pack for the Pixel-Art SciFi Toolkit series in the future. For example, are you considering adding more types of robots, alien creatures, or perhaps expanding the playable character’s equipment beyond guns to include more sci-fi fantasy elements such as swords, axes, saws, or magic staffs?

Also, I would like to confirm the licensing terms. As stated in the description, is commercial use allowed, and is it correct that no attribution or credit is required?

Thank you very much for your time, and I really look forward to seeing what you might create for this series in the future!

Hi! Thank you so much, I'm really glad you like my work and that you're considering using it in your game.
As for the package development, I already have future expansions planned that will focus on new robots and alien creatures. I must admit I hadn't considered adding sci-fi fantasy elements until now, but your suggestion is a great idea and I'd love to develop something in that direction!
I can confirm that the license terms are exactly as stated: commercial use is permitted, and no attribution or credit is required. However, if you do decide to include me in the game's credits, I would be absolutely thrilled!

Thanks again for your support, and talk soon!

Thank you so much for your kind reply! I'm really excited to hear that you already have plans for future expansions with new robots and alien creatures.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you create in the future. Thanks again, and I wish you all the best with your future projects!

Thank you so much for your words! You will hear from me relatively soon!

Hi there! I have one more question. Are all the assets in this bundle 16x16 size except for the character set?

Yes, exactly. The package includes individual files, atlases, and spritesheets for the animations.

Hi, I just purchased this asset, I really like it !

Do you have a PNG file that groups all the props together and all the tilesets together? 
Currently, there is a separate image for each prop, which makes it very complicated to work with since I have to handle everything one by one.
Thank you

Hi! Thank you so much for your purchase, and I'm really glad you like the asset. I will get right to work on grouping the tilesets and props together as requested. I'll message you back here as soon as the files are ready, which should be in about 3 to 4 hours. Thanks again for your patience!

Thank you very much for your quick reply and time,
Having all tiles in one (or two) PNG file helps a lot ! <3

Hi! I have uploaded the atlases for the human outpost backgrounds and props.

Just a technical note regarding the props atlas: even though the assets are based on a 16x16 grid, the individual elements are not perfectly snapped to it. This is an intentional design choice to break up the monotony of the walls and floors, making the environment look more dynamic. I'm concerned that the atlas might not be very useful to you with this layout, so I'd prefer to wait for your feedback before preparing the next ones.

Out of curiosity, which game engine are you using for the project?

Thank you for the atlas! I noticed just one computer that isn't perfectly snapped to the 16x16 grid (one edge overlaps into the purple chair tile), but the rest of the atlas is completely fine and I can definitely work with this.

By the way, I'm working with Godot 4.7.

Quick question: is it intentional that a few props aren't perfectly centered on their tiles? (For example: 'bench C', 'bench D', 'PC_B_01', 'PC_B_02', etc.)

Also, I really like that I can animate certain tiles, like the computer screen displays etc.. well done

I have fixed the props atlas. Regarding the PCs, the original positioning was intentional, but following your feedback, I centered them better within the tile. Just a heads-up: to make some props fit the grid better, I had to resize them slightly, so you might notice some minor differences compared to the original standalone assets.

Since the rest of the atlases seem to be working fine, I will proceed with creating the atlases for the other backgrounds and props over the next few hours.

Let me know if they work well for your project so I can permanently include them in the .zip files. Talk soon and thanks!

thank you for updating this!

Thanks to you!

hey does the gun tilt? i need the sprites for the gun to tilt. as im making a 2d run and gun platformer that controls movement and shooting seperately as opposed to what it is in games like metal slug and contra. and also is there a dash animation?

Hi.
Yes, the weapons are separate from the character and you can rotate 
them to shoot 360, try it here. 
I don't remember if the dash animation of this prototype is included 
in the pack, I can send it to you separately. 
If you want, try taking a look at this pack of heroes which is more 
complete in terms of animation.
Is your game a platformer or a topdown?

Hey, thanks for the reply my game is planned to be a 2d run n gun platformer and I plan to buy the whole pack of volumes to work on other possible projects as well. would it be possible for me to get vol1-5 in a pack? because right now from what I can see you have a listing for pack containing vol1-3. Lastly I have seen the dash animation and it should work for my school assignment but if I make a passion project I would want to have something that fits my game. I hope I am explaining it well, let me know if u need more explanations and details about how I plan to use the assets.

Hi! I believe I understand what you want to achieve. Besides the platform, you would also like to use these assets to create other projects. I should let you know that these packs are primarily designed for top-down games (specifically the backgrounds), but the characters can also work for platform games since they are depicted front-facing. The dash animation you are referring to is the one for the blue character you tested in the demo, correct? I'm not sure if it's included in pack 1, but since it's just one frame, I can send it to you separately.

Regarding the purchase of the packs, if you buy 1, 2, and 3, you can get them at a discounted price, and once you have them, you can access 4 and 5 with a 40% discount. Normally, I wait for the Itch sales to create a 1-5 bundle, which, if I'm not mistaken, should be around October/November. I hope I've explained everything clearly, but if not, feel free to reach out for more details! Thanks :)

Hi! Thanks for explaining it clearly and yes I am indeed talking about the dash animation that I saw in the demo to be good enough for my assignment, but if I make something else I would want one that would fit better in the game. So yes I plan to buy vol 1-3 as of now as that's what I can afford unless I get more funds then I would consider getting 4 and 5 as well. Lastly I would give credit to all assets I'm gonna use for the school assignment and future projects, and when I upload it somewhere that can host the game I would definitely drop the link here for others to see.

Thank you for purchasing the package! I’ve sent you the 3 dash frames via email :)
