I have an idea to make something similar to Super Mario (but different enough to not fall into copyright infringement traps) using a sprite that looks a bit like myself.
However, I suck at creating graphics and animation, would there be a simple way to make an animated sprite “selfie”?
Hi! I’m sorry to say there probably isn’t a really simple way to make an animated sprite. At least not that I know of. You either go at it yourself, or find an artist who would create it for you. If you can’t go either of those options, the closest you can get to “simple” would be to use some AI tool. That would apparently come with it’s own set of issues, but no harm in trying, I guess.
Spriter is a pay program that I’ve heard of before, never used it myself. https://brashmonkey.com/
There is a free version.
Or you can use something like this tool (RPG Character Builder) which was made for RPGmaker, but could give you something to work from.
I created a sprite in Piksels this morning.
I tried to add it to a project using the platform character behaviour editor, the character just falls off screen.
Hi,
please check your other topic. You got a good suggestion there.
Your player-sprite has the platformer character behavior but you also need to attach the platform-behavior to your platform/surface-sprites. Otherwise your player will fall off the screen.
