Also, there was a discussion some time back about Mack resources for XP, and a link to those resources: In fact, Mack was around way before VX (in the form of the Mack and Blue collection for RM2K/3), and they still have Mack resources for RM2K/3 on FSM. I don't think Mack was made with just VX and Ace in mind. Hopefully one day somebody will make a true Mack generator. Personally, the Macks look more realistic, stout, sturdy, and with enough detail that it doesn't detract from the game. So Mack is the perfect compromise, and works well within VX and Ace projects with some minor adjustments. And at 32x32 pixels, the chibis look too small, perfect for dwarves and midgets though. Maybe great for elves, but not much else. Plus they don't work well with the VX and Ace tilesets. So unfortunately we either have LooseLeaf, or we have to rely on already made material.įirst off, I've never been fond of XP sprites. I've looked everywhere for one, and I haven't come acrossed it yet. Why do Google's search results for 'mack sprite generator' all seem to point to the LooseLeaf page? And why does the page have a copyright statement for someone named Mack? Perhaps we can get to the bottom of why XP and Mack get confused so often.īecause there really isn't any true (32x48) Mack generators that I'm aware of. A simple web search should help you locate their original creators. Note: The images here are found from the internet, as examples only.

Note that these are pre-existing styles, and nothing says you can't go and create your own. The purpose of this guide is to make people aware of the various styles of sprites available and their characteristics. After some research, I'd like to give you all a guide to the many options available to you, as well as some key differences between each. But, not everyone wants the same old style of sprite. Without sprites to populate our games, things get boring fast. One of the most important aspects to the RM community is the spriting world. This discussion only covers walking sprites, so things such as Holder's Animated Battlers will be absent. I'm going to cover some of the more common ones. Also, there are way more sprites types than I will discuss here. These sprites can all be formatted to work with RPG Maker VX or Ace, the programs currently supported by this site. Disclaimer: This is a guide to different styles of sprites, not the way they are formatted in an image.
