[@FlowPoly]

You’re welcome glad it could help

[@tauheedgamedev2388]

Nice, I also use templates to make art. Hopefully at some point ill have enough practice to make them from scratch.

[@therevenancy]

This was very useful. Thank you!

[@FlowPoly]

You’re welcome

[@valiantshadow89]

I love these videos, man. Any chance you’re gonna be making more in this series?

[@liviaferreira1027]

thank you! ❤

[@beelzebussy]

pls make more of these, you are literally a godsend

[@FlowPoly]

If you have any suggested topics to cover in a tutorial, I would be more than happy to go over it

[@beelzebussy]

@@FlowPoly um well how would we make a dating sim in rpgmaker work? lmao ive been trying but i cannot wrap my head around it. idk if thats too vague of a question or not but youre the only one i trust to teach me lol

[@FlowPoly]

Sorry for the late reply, do you mean like dating mechanics as in a metre that fills up over a period of time kind of thing, could you maybe give more detail?

[@beelzebussy]

@@FlowPoly no problem! i know youre probably busy but essentially yeah! i wanted to make a game thats like a dating reality show competition game lol but i had no idea how to go about it! but thank you for even replying! i hope youre doing well!

[@jeremybustillos5116]

You save me, thanks you!

[@FlowPoly]

Glad it helped

[@gabreltosus9926]

Heya,could you tell me what template you're using? All templates i find are 48x48,and needs more detail and i'm bad with it. That's why i'm asking what template you're using.

[@mewte]

Yo thanks for this one, will be waiting for more! About your game, is there any release date?

[@FlowPoly]

I am aiming for a definite release in the summer but no exact date as of yet

[@mephyk7847]

What template are you using? I'm making something in my free time but have no spriting talent so I'm trying to find a base to work off of but am finding no luck with something that isn't the gross chibi style.

[@FlowPoly]

I bought a Character pack which included bases to make your own. I believe it was pop horror character pack made by Malibu Darby. It’s on itch.io

[@Marquise1]

I vvanted to search hovv to do the equivalent of hat I can do in PyxelEdit and get the full sized spritesheet from scratch fitting in their cells so I can place and animate them vvithout having misaligned characters/vehicles hen I try to do them 1by1 and get them to be neatly placed in the same configuration as a RPGMaker spritesheet. Is there a Size Guide tutorial for that somevvhere using Aseprite?

[@kyouya4103]

nice video But i wanted to ask what cursor do you use i like it :)

[@FlowPoly]

The cursor is default for this program

[@vilevillainentertainment]

Does the program come with these sprite sheets/templates? Or were they imported into it?

[@FlowPoly]

They do not come with it. I used templates from an asset pack called pop horror by malibu Darby you can find it on itch.io if you are interested

[@hawahawalol]

Thank you. My art style is a chibi but still have longer legs

[@FlowPoly]

Glad it helped

[@hawahawalol]

@@FlowPoly I wonder if the reason my sprite is all broken because I drew on usual drawing software and not pixel art software.

[@FlowPoly]

It’s possible, what file type where that saved as, and what dimensions?

[@hawahawalol]

@@FlowPoly I try 150 px because I can't draw any smaller and I try to save it as png. Alas, they are pixelated when I try to resize it into 48

[@FlowPoly]

What I will do is provide a link for the asset standards for RMMV, hope this helps: rmmv.neocities.org/page/01_11_01.html#:~:text=Face%20images%20are%20144x144%20in,4%20columns%20equaling%208%20images.

[@anonymoustroll8062]

Hello new Subscriber here. Can you please make video about Aseprite tutorial like how to design your character how can you make him walk. And what resolution or pixel size should I use for character, items and houses thank you. I really love your video

[@FlowPoly]

I have a new aseprite tutorial that I am editing at the moment. So look out for that. As for sizes for characters, items and houses. It really depends on the game engine you are using and the style you are going for. I use RMMV which uses 48x48 tiles

[@DARKKDEITY]

what tileset pack do you use? it looks really cool

[@FlowPoly]

I believe it’s the PoP Horror city pack

[@thomaszanin238]

where is the "MaleBase_Mid" image to get started?

[@CaSe-uv1iy]

But how do you make character sheets that have more than 12 sprites for one character

[@mamoudTV]

Hello my friend, i would like to know what happen if i take a screenshot when i have finish my work on aseprite on the free version ? Is it clean image or they do something to not make us screenshot ?

[@FlowPoly]

The image would not be transparent if you did that. You could always use GIMP. It’s a free software like photoshop

[@mamoudTV]

@@FlowPoly What do u mean by transparent ? The pixel won't be nice ?

[@peppercraftyt5346]

Where did you find that character template?

[@crishughes9152]

Can I use this program for pixel game maker? Sorry if it's a dumb question, trying to learn about game making

[@FlowPoly]

Yeah you can, it’s just a pixel art program. So this can be used with any engine.

[@hoseinbebany]

Ty for the valuable information Sir, I have a question what shall be the canvas size for those characters, & pls guide am making a 8x8 character so what shall be my canvas size am making it for gaming purpose

[@FlowPoly]

What game engine are you using?

[@hoseinbebany]

@@FlowPoly Sir am using aseprite as am planning to make a similar game like the nes contra & game engine is godot ty for the reply Sir

[@FlowPoly]

I’m not familiar with godot, but I will link a post that might help you www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/6fpd7c/how_does_godots_sprites_determine_how_big_a_frame/?

[@hoseinbebany]

@@FlowPoly ty for your time I have subbed & 👍jus one last question do u first make yr sprites then u decide the canvas size or do u make the canvassize first & then the sprites & also do u make the complete maps, background, tiles etc in aseprite then export to rpg maker or jus sprites, items, tiles etc in aseprite & then u export to rpg maker I jus want to follow yr style ty for the help once again

[@PaboBabo]

sorry, what i dont really understand is, when u load a non standard sprite sheet into the game, like u have a higher character, how did rpg maker know the size of tile of character u imported?

[@FlowPoly]

Use a $ sign as explained for non standard. What do you mean by higher character?

[@novadyaomah3168]

Will it work on RPG MZ?

[@hazbiniznow89]

Can you make the sprite sheets any size?

[@FlowPoly]

What Game Engine do you use?

[@melkyronaldo3559]

can use for mugen game character ?

[@FlowPoly]

Not sure

[@InkDropFalls]

what is good screen resolution for 64x64

[@noxygen42]

i dunno

[@aaronbee6378]

Will this work for RPG Maker 2003?

[@FlowPoly]

Depends on what size the sprites are

[@biggirih7225]

Is this doable with MZ?

[@FlowPoly]

Yes

[@anonymoustroll8062]

I have question. Why you only use 1 layer and 1 frame for that? it's alot. I watch other KZbinr like you. That teach pixel but they use layer by layer for character and frame for movements

[@FlowPoly]

Because I used an already made Spritesheet, using a pixel size that fits my game. If I were to use that method of making 1 sprite and then using frames for animation I would have to export it out as a Spritesheet anyways.

[@Canyon_d]

IT NO WORK

[@TheSuperQuail]

I've never met anyone who actually likes chibi style. I think the RM devs are sticking with it out of pure laziness.

[@davidagiel8130]

Wth is a chibi?

[@BluePlasma77]

Its a smaller version of a character.
