What it does for your game

  • No more empty villages: 16 villagers, heroes and townsfolk walk in 4 directions, so your town has a farmer, a blacksmith, a guard and a king from the start.
  • Your town, talking: The guard walks the road, a heart bubble pops over the princess, and the blacksmith shows an exclamation mark as you pass.
  • 24 frames per character: Down, left, right and up, a 2-frame idle and a 4-frame walk, 12 emote bubbles, JSON maps and every sheet at 1x, 2x and 3x.

16 top-down 16x16 pixel art characters, each with 4 directions, an idle and a walk cycle (24 frames per character), plus 12 emote bubbles. Villagers, heroes and townsfolk for RPGs, farming games, adventure games and roguelikes.

Licence in one line: use them in your commercial games; do not resell the files.
