Hi Blues,I would like to know if the Steam version will be kept updated. If so, I will prioritize that version as I still have some Steam balance to use.
It does get updates but much much slower because I don't control that account directly. I pass along updates to them but it goes out on their own schedule.
Also I don't directly respond to comments on those because I don't really see them, the steam version goes through the publisher while the itch page is mine directly. Thanks!
thank you! I just realized that time fantasy and time elements are two completely different styles. I also want to know an important thing, which style will you focus on in your future work? I will purchase this style of asset package and subscribe to your Patreon! We look forward to your reply.
The Time Fantasy series is complete as far as full releases go, though I continue to support it with add-ons and requests on patreon.
Going forward there will be more full expansion packs for the Elements series-- I have a big list of things for character expansions and new tileset biomes. This series also gets additional updates and add-ons on patreon.
You might think of the Elements style as a sequel to the Time Fantasy assets; the character proportions and color palettes are different; but there's overlap in the 16x16 tilebase: recent tile releases will often include variants compatible with Time Fantasy and Time Elements.
Hello! Do I get to access this pack along with the generator plus the rights to use in a commercial project if I join your patreon tier 2 for at least a month? Asking before I either buy or sign there. Also asking about the action RPG characters (I saw the monsters were included, but don't know about the core ones)
Right now this pack isn't available anymore for newer patrons. Big core packs like this only have temporary download keys for patrons that come down a few months after the release. The FAQ thread on my patreon explains in more detail, and has download links to the packs available for patrons.
As for the Action RPG Monsters set, that one does have a patron download because a lot of the content was released on Patreon first and then compiled for the release. These kinds of packs will always be available for patrons and the store page is more of a convenience for non-patrons; and there will be a note on the store page for any packs like this which are free for patrons, so people don't buy them by mistake. Hope that clarifies everything.
Hey, just bought these(amazing work by the way, I recently purchased your village set and it's great). It seems the generator doesn't work on mac. I'm using a 2014 mac with Big Sur, and the app continually crashes, and that's after I had to do some terminal fiddling to get it past mac's crap security options. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I can send a log if needed from the crash, if that helps.
Hi, please add more attack animations including for two handed weapons for you next expansion pack. Always on lookout for your release pack. Awesome as always!
Thanks! Running animation wasn't included because sometimes depending on the game engine, it can be made by speeding up the walk animation. I agree that it doesn't look anywhere near as good as full running animations, but it allowed me to prioritize other animations instead. It's not impossible that I make more animations in the future, but in all honesty-- any new animations are a low priority because there are so many existing pieces that'd need to be re-animated, and it'd require the whole generator and sheet to be restructured.
For the time being, future character expansions will be more pieces, accessories and weapons that will build on the existing animations.
Run animations for full custom characters would be more likely because it could be done without reworking the existing system.
Sorry if that's not the answer you want to hear from me, but I like to be open. If you have other suggestions for how to handle it, I'm open to hearing more. Thanks!
if i made my own custom character with the generator, could i commission you for a running animation? or a unique attack animation? I really would like to use time elements for a jrpg..
Hey Finalbossblues! I'm dubting about buying this pack or time fantasy. But I have a question. Do Time Elements or Time Fantasy include Side View Battlers? Thank you in advice :)
Yes, the Time Fantasy style has a lot of Side view battlers, in an expansion pack and also as a lot of patreon standalone assets. For elements, side view battlers are possible to make by putting together some of the animations, though it was designed for four-directional action combat so not every animation lines up perfectly. thanks!
You'll likely need to reorganize the sheets; they don't include RMXP format by default. But as long as you organize them in the XP format (and use them alongside other similar styled pixel art so they don't look out of place) there's no reason that they wouldn't work. Thanks!
Hi there - looking for a good asset source and came across your Time Elements series! Really like the work and I'm excited to see what you make next.
I did have a question (and maybe it's a weird one..) but, if I was interested in also subscribing to your Patreon, what would be the best way to access this Core Pack and Expansion (and hopefully other assets) - Subscribing through Patreon alone, buying them separately, or both?
This is no longer available on patreon, only when it was first released, so it would need to be purchased separately from patreon. This should explain how it works:
Every regular pack gets a patron download when they are first released. Patrons at that time can then download them for free. This rewards those who are already patrons before new packs are released. As long as you are a patron -- you'll get access to the download key for any packs as they are released during that time.
These release keys are revoked after 2-3 months. That way, latecomers can still have access to the downloads, but they won't be up forever. New patrons are welcome to download these packs if the link is still available in the archive, but it isn't guaranteed to always be available.
The FAQ thread on my patreon page lists all the packs that are available to patrons, there's a bunch that are always available as patron bonuses, this timing is for the major releases like this one.
Got a question regarding your patreon content! As the assets in this pack contains animations for 4 direction Action Combat, do you have any monster designs that goes along with it? That is 4 Direction Attack animations for enemies.
There will be a future pack with monsters designed for this style of action combat. I've already shared 12 of them on my patreon throughout the summer. Thanks!
Amazing character generator. I'm using MZ and used the plugin provided which does fix the position in game but the sprite in the save file icon and in battles is still offset. When using a weapon, the animation for the weapon animates below the sprite of the player. Any way to fix this?
They're not designed to work with the default weapon system in rpgmaker because it causes all sorts of problems (with other styles too-- their weapon system is very poorly designed)-- so the best solution is to just export multiple versions of your character with different weapons and then switch which sheet you're using. Thanks
The export formats are explained in the PDF file. If you need to customize it to a specific format for your own use, then you'll need to edit the files yourself. Thanks!
Yes, there will be more expansions. My next release will be a pack of monsters, but after that I plan to return to the character pieces with the next expansion. thanks!
It's just how the layering system works in the generator. You can export them separately and combine them in your game! The assets are designed so a sword and shield combo looks good together. thanks

Sure, go ahead and send me more information in a message; I'll pass it along to the programmer. Thanks!
Hi, please add more attack animations including for two handed weapons for you next expansion pack. Always on lookout for your release pack. Awesome as always!
it would be real nice with a running animation
you got so much other stuff in here but no running
sell it as expansion and i would pay.

I really would like to use time elements for a jrpg..
For just one character, it's likely. Send me a message or email and I'll take a look. thanks
Entered a game jam using your (edited) character sprites, here's a link to the demo:

Do you plan on making some sci-fi stuff for time elements
Yes, definitely! But... when? There's other stuff at the top of the list first :shrug:

Hey, do you know if this can work on RMXP which has a standard of 32x48 measurements.
You'll likely need to reorganize the sheets; they don't include RMXP format by default. But as long as you organize them in the XP format (and use them alongside other similar styled pixel art so they don't look out of place) there's no reason that they wouldn't work. Thanks!

Maybe a better way to phrase it: Does subscribing to your Patreon give access to the Core Pack and Expansion? If so, which membership level?

Wow - awesome reply, and thank you. Really interested in your work! You'll probably see me as a Patreon sub soon :)

Hello again,
Is it possible to include the white variant for the hair and back hairstyles?
Also, a bit more colors for the clothes and tails to combine with beastears
Hello,
I liked it and recommend it, but, Your Linux program has a resolution problem and I can't export it to RPG Maker MV formatThank you
You can now manually change the scale by editing the "Window Scale" value in the Settings.json file, thanks!
Hello again,
I bought the generator, but if I click on any export button, the result is the same... it exports a full sheet
And is it possible to export the characters with a specific size?
The export formats are explained in the PDF file. If you need to customize it to a specific format for your own use, then you'll need to edit the files yourself. Thanks!
My bad, Now I noticed the sheets are differents -_-'
Hi,
Are there plans to update this generator with more parts?
Yes, there will be more expansions. My next release will be a pack of monsters, but after that I plan to return to the character pieces with the next expansion. thanks!
It's just how the layering system works in the generator. You can export them separately and combine them in your game! The assets are designed so a sword and shield combo looks good together. thanks
any sales or bundles coming up?
summer sale just ended, so the next big one will be the fall sale I think. i might set up a regular bundle in the meantime, thanks for the reminder!
well if you set up a bundle for all time elements stuff ill get it today :)
It's up thanks :)
