In any case, if I understand it correctly, GM's default resolution is set at 1280x720? I have decided to just stick with this as other posts on this topic suggest working with a 16:9 ratio which would be best suited for most devices, although I'm only really focusing on desktop for now anyway. I initially draw them at the 32x32 range and then scale up in the sprite editor).Ĭan anyone else explain this? Do you guys keep your character sprites at the 32x32 range or 64圆4, particularly in relation to platformers?Īpologies for the delay in responding, as I have to go look up things when I get feedback on a topic I haven't worked with before.

32x32) and then later scale them up in-game as a way of saving memory in the sprite resource tree? Can the sprites be compressed to a 32x32 scale when exporting, because if increases to detailed sprites with 'image_x/yscale' results in blurry pixels and problems with collision checks, I don't see how I can use them at anything other than 64圆4 (i.e. However, when I tried setting the size of the sprite with 'image_xscale = 2' and 'image_yscale = 2', PK ended up looking slightly blurry compared to the scale increase I achieved in the sprite editor.Īt this point I'm wondering if it's common practice to try and draw character sprites as small as possible (i.e. Playing around with the numbers a bit I found that a view size of 800x512 and doubling the size of the sprite in the sprite editor yielded the closest match to the dimensions I observed in the game.

When I put PK into the room (with a view size of 640x480) I found the character to be quite small compared to how he appears in the actual game. After I carried the sprites across into the sprite editor of GM I found that the sprites for both characters came out at about 32x32. To practice this I went to The Spriter's Resource site and acquired a sprite sheet for X and Plague Knight (PK). X can change his F special by using his D specialĬapcom, DarkSamus993, Random Talking Bush, The Spriters Resource, Sprite Database, Sprite inc., AcidoCinza, Ahuron, Alex.d.I'm currently trying my hand at some sprite art and I wanted to settle on a particular style along the lines of Mega Man X or Shovel Knight. Add a reference to X vs Zero Decisive Battle 2 Oh also cmd mission alt costume gone until next update srry This will probably be his last update until the rework Another update, not the big one yet though just some reworks cuz I thought he wasn't fun to play as in the last update, hopefully this fixes that atleast a little bit
