Brashmonkey Spriter
What is Spriter?
Spriter is a Skeletal and Modular Animation tools for creating game sprites for sure. You can go to their sites for more detailed explanation.

So, now if you want to use a skeletal animation and your game engine/framework can support Spriter, then the latest game sprites pack on GameArt2D.com can satisfy you.
It come with a Spriter .scml project, as well as .png bodyparts. The resolutions is large enough, so no worry if you want to create a HD games.

You want to add more animations?
If you have free or licensed Spriter copy, then simply create your own animation. It's very easy.

And the bodyparts also comes with vector format: Adobe Illustrator .ai, CorelDraw .cdr, and .eps. Just in case you want to modify the character and creating your own animations on Spriter.
But, what if I want to use a traditional sprites or the game framework/engine didn't support Spriter?
Not worries. The pack also provide you the .png sequence file for the character animations. Each animation contains 10 frames. So it will be quite smooth for your game.

]]><![CDATA[Game samples]]>Thu, 31 Jul 2014 15:08:38 GMThttps://www.gameart2d.com/blog/game-samplesJust want to show to this site visitors and this blog readers as well, some of my own games that created using some packs that for sale on this site.

1. Shotgun vs Zombies
As you can see on the screenshots, in this Android game, I used Cartoon Games GUI Pack 13. With the horror theme, surely it suitable with the zombie shooter game.
Other than that, I also used the background from Platformer Game Tileset 4 but with some adjustment.

2. Stack of Defense
This game using Cartoon Games GUI Pack 2 as the game interface. It suit nicely with cartoony but futuristic game theme.
Take a look on the blocks. Yep, it used this Physics Game Block Set 1.
And some elements on the background and floors, it used this Platformer Game Tileset 2. Modified heavily.

3. Bionic Pocong
Starting for its interface, I used this pack: Cartoon Games GUI Pack 15.
See the cute flappy birds? It can be found on this pack: Character Spritesheet 11.
In the end, I also used some elements from Platformer Game Tileset 12 for background and floor.

4. Birdie Hop-Hop
In this game I only used the Cartoon Games GUI Pack 14. Well, just the GUI.
The bird characters isn't available on this site. But you can found it on my GraphicRiver account. But that's not game sprites, so I need to animate it by myself.

5. Unbalanced Platformer
This game used recolored version of Cartoon Games GUI Pack 1. The original one is yellow with black icon. But, as you can see there, I changed it to pink-yellow combination.
And the tileset is also recolored version of Platformer Game Tileset 1. To match the game theme, it also pink colored.

Alright, that's all.
So what's the purpose I'm writing this blog post? Surely to make the blog section isn't dead, but also make sure to my potential buyers, that the items listed here on this site, are fully applicable for real games.
If it works in my game, there's no chance that it won't work on yours. :D
