I was curious if you had a planned release or a general idea of when the next elemental character would release?
No date yet, but I'm working on it in between commissions, so yeah. I'll have some free time this month so it'll probably speed things up a bit.
cool
hey, is it possible to split the sprite into layers where the weapon and body are in one layer and the legs in another? its useful for things like running attacks
Topic: Price
It is unusual how there is no free version of the asset without the "Elemental Mode" which is highly requested, nevertheless, it is excellent work. Although electricity is a prevalent Element, it was expected that the ones you need to pay would have been Crystal, and the others something amazing like maybe life, death, dark, light, balance, chaos, or any bright ideas you have planned.
Anyways, great work and keep it up!
The most important part is that you have fun, so take your time.
tbf its supply and demand, samurai assets of this quality are unheard of for free, im actually happy this is a premium asset as it makes it more special. if it was free it woulds be oversaturated in many projects. because its such a beautiful asset.
the human animations are so good im so shocked that most are free. i really hope this stays a premium asset
you probaly have your elementals planned out
but is there any plans for a a paladin themed, elemental, its tricky because lightning has been used already, maybe a light/Dark paladin
essentially a heavily armoured paladin with a shield and a flail or lance (the lance could even double as a light/dark magic cannon).
Thank you for your kind words, man. Light and Dark, the powerful Cosmic Elementals, are actually the last two Elementals to complete this 10 character set. I did plan to release both at the same time, since they're on opposite sides that maintain the power balance of their world, but that plan seems a bit of a stretch now. ๐
Well, anyway...
I've been so busy lately with my day job and commissions that I hardly had time for personal projects like these, but rest assured, I'm currently honing my pixel art and animation skills through a lot of commissions (commission slots are almost always full) so I'm confident that I can release great and improved characters/monsters soon when I have the extra time. Thank you for your patience.
its a amazing asset is there a possibility where you add like standing up and getting knocked down animation. Also something like a double jump would be very sick!!
is it fweee
Not at the moment, but I might make a free version when the set is complete. :) You can watch out for sales in the meantime, as I mostly participate in them.
I am broke
I am 14
Great!, plans for wallslide, crouch, ledge climb,....
I was curious if you had a planned release or a general idea of when the next elemental character would release?
I had the same problem as Ashee.
Although mildly annoyed, you definitely deserve a lot more than what I pay for your stuff...so...I'mma buy it again. XD
Thanks for the support, man! Happy new year! ๐
Hey Chierit,
I just bought this amazing asset for 1,24 USD, though I meant to buy it for 1,87 so I could get the full pack. Is there a way I can reverse this or maybe pay a bit more to get the full version?
Where can I cancel my purchase?
Hi, you can ask itch for a refund if the payment is less than 7 days.
Lovely assets, thanks for the work :)
Thanks man!
Hey Chierit I just used your assets in my new release! I love your work and bought this pack because of the quality you put into all of this. Thank you!
https://wiafe.itch.io/type-fighter
Thank you bro
hey Chierit I love the elemental characters on your page, but I have 1 question. Why did you make this not free when all the others are free? this is not complaining I just want to know why.
Hi. I explained this in the release devblog. I wanted the last 3 Elementals to be a bit "rare" since the other free ones have been downloaded a few thousand times. Wind hashashin for example is downloaded 10,239 times as of now, so adding a price reduces that to just a few hundred, so they'll be seen less in other games, making them more "special".
But now that I think about it, I might change my mind in a few months/year once the set is complete. So I might make this free someday. The ones who bought will just have the advantage of using the assets first. :)
Thank you for answering.
hi Chierit, love the characters. Do you accept commissions?
Thanks! Yeah, I do accept commissions, if you have no strict timeline, dm me on discord with your project details and offer.
I do juggle between 2-3 commissions most of the time, and I also have a day job now, and some itch projects on the side, and family time as well, so things might be a little slow, if you're okay with that. ๐
Chierit, thanks for giving so much of amazing content for free.
Please create a bundle for the elemental pixel characters for people to buy.
hi chierit. sorry i wasnt very active on itch.io or the game development scene in general. now i come back and see this SUPER lovely samurai.
i love it. its awesome. i dont know why but i reaaaally love the portrait that you made for the samurai. i think its the best one so far.
i have only one critique point.. as far as i see it, you used the exact same colors for the lightning effects than the ones you used for the base sword swing effects. i think there should be more contrast to actually SEE that it IS lightning. does that make sense to you?
i hope you understand what i mean. for example the special attack doesnt look like lightning at all. because of that the samurai kinda reminds me of the grey knight of castle crashers (who holds no elemental magic)
oh and btw, will you open patreon again? you seem to be very active lately.
Patreon is not on my options for now. I once felt obligated to produce something for my patrons, so the pressure took a toll on my creativity. I like this set.up better, where I'm free to do things on my own schedule. I hope you understand. That also means your Elementals mug is one of a kind in this world, man. ๐
Hey Marc, how are you? The sp atk is actually just a sword skill. This is one of those characters that are powerful enough on their own and doesn't rely too much on the elements during their human form, like the wind hashashin, his sp atk is just sword slashes with a slight wind speed buff.. 3_atk of metal as well. They are mostly warriors, not mages. :D
understandable. I respect that ๐ (both your decision with patreon AND the lightning) in the end it is up to us, the people that use your assets, to make with it whatever we want. I could give the lightning parts some blue glowing for example.
That would be awesome! :D
I originally wanted to spend $7.50 to buy a full pack, but I made a mistake and bought this character for $4.99. I spent another $7.50 to buy a full pack. I want to buy more characters you made, and I hope you can give me a refund. Allow me to purchase more of your characters.
Hey, man. I think you can make a refund if the purchase is new (less than 7 days). I don't know exactly how but you can check out your purchases and ask for a refund from itch. I'ts completely out of my control, I think it's on itch and your side, since there have been refunds from previous buyers in the past which I did not do anything. You have to do it yourself. Good luck, man.
Thanks :)
Hello, I bought the wrong $4.99. Can I have a refund?
I want to repurchase this character for $7.50
Having already bought the character, buying a full pack shouldn't still be $7.50
Please refund my money, brother
I want to buy you more characters
Great work, chierit! Keep it up! :D
Thanks! :)
Very cool ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ, I would love to buy it as a character in a commercial game that will be released soon
Thanks! You can post a link to your game in the comments here. People, including me, would love to see how these assets are used in different games. ๐
Nice! The cape really accentuates the action.
Thank you! Capes/ponytails/bunny ears/tails/anything with secondary action movement are an animator's best friends, ๐ :D
Hi, I love your pixel art, I've seen that you have quite a few about bosses for games and I was wondering if at some point you will bring out normal enemies, which serve to fill in areas!
Thanks! Yeah, I was planning on that. I was thinking of elemental monsters at one point. But yeah, after this series is over, I may plan on that as well. ๐
HAMBURGER HEAD!!!
Seriously though, this is sick chierit. Amazing work, seems like it would make a very fun character to play as (hopefully with a good implementation by me) :)
Thanks, man! Now I'm craving for a burger. Lol. XD
