We want Game Maker games to have decent graphics… so here is my contribution. These are animated sprite sheets templates that you can base your own, I originally had some plans on making from it a sprite generator program (all with clothings, hairstyles, skin color, etc.) but I didn’t have much time and enough contributors.
I really don’t require that you give me credits (Although I’ll appreciate if you do), just finish a game with it. That’s all I could ask.
But mainly, I want beginners of GM to use these template as a means of placeholder sprites through their GameMaker learnings, it’s really a heart breaking to see a new comer give up on his game developing venture just because he/she has no animated sprites to use (other than those blocks, spheres, and stock sprites that came with GM).
You can still suggest any other type of animations you want to be added here, I’ll make them if I have free time.
Update as of July 8, 2014
– Added 4 animations (3 weapon wield attacks and pushing)
– Included is a .GMZ file so you can see some of the sprites in action using GM:Studio
Update as of November 11, 2015
– Added 5 animations (details)
Update as of October 5, 2019
– Added 4 animations (details)
– Modified introduction texts at the top (I have removed the bit about “Chumbuckets sprite” since the url link to that seems dead now)
Note: I will no longer update the old download link with the GMZ demo. I will start hosting the files here in this site. Also no GMZ demo for now, but I may probably create a new Game Maker file demo in the future with all the animations demonstrated.
arrow left/right : move left/right
arrow down : crouch (crawls when moving)
space key : to see the attack animations
numpad0 : to jump
numpad+ : stride
numpad- : walk
Wow these are very very useful thank you!
Are you planning any more additions to this template or would you consider paid work for custom additions? Drop me an email if you would like to discuss this further.
Kind regards,
I was planning to add more. I may send you an email about it.
hey i cant open it in image shark
Hi there, did you mean imageshack? Yeah, I guess some of my images are served by imageshack, I might probably just upload it on this site directly.
Hi, I’ve been developing prototypes for games for a while now, but I’ve never been able to get something visually workable. This has helped me greatly as now I have a fully working character design.
I just couldn’t get the movement how I wanted, the animation of the sprites is excellent. Thank you, and credit will be placed in my game when it’s finished!
why i cant download it? 🙁
Hey Teej, thanks for these amazing templates !
I was stuck on my game because of my lack of anatomy skills, but thanks to you woohoo !
Great sprite, I would like to add a suggest on this sprite hope is not much to ask.
I would like to see him pushing and pulling an object, jumping and a side kicking
Thank you so much for this great animation sprite based
these are awesome bro the best work i have seen yet do you think you can make more of these poses i would really appreciate it
I’m able to start learning platform gaming with this,
thank you very much!!
I am currently doing some update on this one, so stay tuned. I may also add a .gmz with simple platform demo featuring the sprites.
Wow, this will really help me since I’m new to the whole sprite thing, and I don’t have a lot of time to learn. You my good sir are a life saver, I would love to discuss maybe some custom weapon addition/attacks. Drop me an e-mail, if you have the time of course.
Glad that it helps you.
Fantastic stuff Teej. Very very much appreciated. You’re a legend.
This sprite sheet is great Teej. can we use this template in a commercial project? Thanks
Sure, but maybe just put credits to this page or the name of this site.
Yo, how do you download this, it looks so sick! I just get a random HTML that I cant do anything with.
Hi Spike, there should be a download button somewhere, I just checked.
can you make some pick-up, swim and throwing sprites?
Nice suggestions, but I think there’s already a throw animation unless you meant something slightly different?
ok. i didnt notice the throwing sprite.
Hey, I wonder if you could add some sitting and lying down (not knock out please) in the game, for some cutscene stuff. eg.: people camping on the woods around a campfire it would be really nice
I have found this to be incredibly helpful in getting my first Gamemaker game off the ground (still in development). I hope you continue to add to it – although it has been easy to customize the sprites to suit my own needs. Thank you!
Nice to see people still looking for these spritesheet.
