2D Pixel Art Character Template Asset Pack
A downloadable asset pack
Hello & welcome to my 2D asset.
My name is Hayden. I created this asset because I was working on prototyping projects myself and kept finding myself needing specific animations that were not easily available. I figured I would put out a comprehensive 2D pixel art asset pack that might help you get your game off the ground and running in the right direction especially if you struggle with the art side of things as a solo developer. You can add your own life/character to it and modify it however fits your game best.
Please note: I won't be providing any unity files or scripts. This asset pack is only graphical assets.
If you do end up using this for a project let me know/give me a shout-out b/c the exposure helps and honestly, I would also love to see the results!
Cheers!

Please do me a favor and give a RATE / follow if you like what you see here. There is a lot of good content already and more on the horizon for this project!
Small Project I made if you're interested in giving it a try. Far from perfect, but 100% my own assets and code so that's something I'm very proud of:
Aseprite Files & Sprite Sheets will be available for all animations..

Hi, i want a run sprite but not like regular run animations i want to character running like marathon runner. Like he is running for his life.
cool
Bruh All the Animation Is SHOW --------------->
Please Change That Show Little
Can you make a scyphe ?
Hi, I'm probably going to be intrusive, but I want to make a small game for a school project, but in our country, but I don't have the opportunity to pay. won't you have the opportunity to send it to me either for free (because I'm not going to use it anywhere except as a project) or for me to send it to you directly. it's just that such payment services are blocked in our country, or maybe I could pay you with skins from steam CS2
Is your Discord server still active? would love to chat! I commissioned an artist to do 8 direction movement based on these sprites, but would love to work with you directly, if possible!
Hi!
I really love the template that you made! I noticed that the idle push-pull folder is only an idle push template, will there be a pull idle template or is it already a final template?
Hello,
Great asset! Is there a possibility that you do the same kind of animations but purely top-down? I'll be glad to fund such initiative if you are interested.
+1 would love
nice
Fantastic pack! I'll really enjoy utilizing this and taking off some of the pressure on the artwork side as i'm more of a programmer. Really wish i was financially able to support with more than 1$, might buy you a cup of coffee one day tho!
Hey bro , I am making a platformer pack . i made everything from tilesets to background ,but then i realized that this is the only paid pack i used instead of drawing , soooo , can i resell the modified character as part of the pack while giving credits to you ?
please respond, I appreciate your opinion.
Just purchased! This looks great and I might be able to use it as the foundation for my top down 2d game i'm making currently! I'll have to make some downward and upward movement for it -- unless you have interest or plans in creating a topdown 2d, and in that case, i'll just wait for that :)
Hey man, this is a good asset, just a quick question. I am using this asset to create a platformer controller tools in Unity (I only use idle, running and 2 katana attack animations), am I allowed to offer my asset for free on the Asset Store? If not, would it be okay if I re-drew the asset and sold it (for free of course)? I would only proceed with your permission, as I'm using your graphic assets.
thats rather redundant to ask for permission to sell someone elses work and then call it "your asset"
I know, I’m nearly done with the code and was excited to share it with the community, but I realized I’ve been using a paid asset for the graphics. I just want to confirm if I can publish the code as is, without modifying the graphics, or if I need to replace them first, but thanks for your reply.
Anyway, I think it's better if I draw the graphics myself.
I paid for this and never got it.. just came back and made an account to tell you all that
Sorry to hear that! The files are still available to download- nothing changed there, so it sounds like an itch issue or maybe something locally. You should reach out to itch.io support in that case for help.
Im waiting on their results, but what is tehe tax on this product? I only transferred 1$ to my paypal when the purchase was made so if there was any taxes on the product then that may be the reason for the hold, I presume
the best platformer pack I ever seen
Is there going to be a block animation without a sword? not required of course, but it'd be really cool!
amazing! can't believe you're only charging a dollar for all of these!
if you're accepting suggestions for future animations, what about a ceiling climb or monkey bars kind of animation?
amazing work!!
you saved me a lot of time :D excellent work!
ألم يكن هذا مجانياً سابقاً؟
thanks! awesome work
Lovely and extreamly useful for prototyping and as base for later (much later) self-drawing. Let's me first concentrate on what is most important at the beginning and not loose time and faith spending countless hours on creating this or to much by myself. A BIG THANKS for your hard work and still low-cost asset.
Beautiful work! As others have requested, the hand to hand combat moves can’t be found for any price on any asset store. If you add them to this pack youll have something truly special to sell.
and a group of us willing to buy it! thanks for the great work so far, it really is beautifully done.
Very nice! I look forward to low-kick and high-kick. and how about a "block" ?
can you do bow animation and magic shoots (like, example: fireballs or, more realistic, grenade throw)? this asset pack it's very cool!
I just bought this, and its fantastic! is there anyway you could work on a spear animation? I'd be willing to pay again for something like that.
Thank you God and to you for the existence of this. I'm an artist but my strenght is design and environment, not animation. This seems like a great template to get better animations going TT_TT
Very good, but I have a question. The katana attack animations aren't 48x48. What are they?
EDIT: Never mind, I'm stupid. I found the answer.
Can I make an asset with some animations based on this template?
I would love it for a shooting animation in the 8 cardinal directions would be amazing, in addtion to just straight ahead.
This is so good.
thank you SO much I'm a horrible artist but that was quite an important step in game designing (obviously lol) and just everything about this pack made it SO worth the dollar. [also I know various kicks are already on the potential future animation list but if you made them i would be so grateful]
This asset pack is one of the best things I've purchased. I've been using since it was free, and once you changed the pricing to $1 I bought it twice already!
Said that, ANY chance you could make a similar template for isometric games? I would easily pay for it too.
Excellent character Template. if possible , please add "Combo Sword Attack" and "Cast/Spell " Animation. Thank you.
Since there's air attacks for the katana, why not throw in air attacks for the gun? also just flying assets in general would be cool
Soo nice! Take my dolar
Thanks for the assets Cant wait
bro it's amazing pack thx for ur work
Can you do things like swinging from the rope or climbing up the rope and attack down?
Lovely asset! However, the "player katana air attack 80x64.png" file is missing (only the "upper body" png is available).
(ditto with the katana running attack)
is this project dead?
