Set-up guide: https: //animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/rm-mz-akea-2/ Open project demo: https://holder-anibat.itch.io/holder-aab-demonstration Set-up guide: https://animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/mv-battler-graphic-setup/ Visual weapons add-on: https://github.com/foppii/Tei_CustomWeaponOverlay Demo: https://github.com/foppii/Tei_CustomWeaponOverlay/commit/09b84257295893e226a047b024b0d3a2afc1f3bd Set-up guide: https://animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/ve-animatedbattle/ Set-up guide: https://animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/xp-animbat/ Spoiler: About Holders Animated Battlers Holders Animated Battlers is a project which I started early 2011 time ago to give everyone who's developing an RPG a chance to have a consistent and solid collection of animated battlers. Since then I've improved in what I can do and what I'd like to see this project be. It's now in it's third and final version and I've combined all my knowledge to start as a means to go on. First goal I've set it to have a basic set of enemies and a full set of bases containing 15 classes! Each will have two different weapons available giving some nice alternative classes which will double the total class range to 30. Spoiler: How they work Actors and Enemies will follow the same style and format so they can even be used as either depending on your preference. I've created this to be as flexible as possible. Also with that the format style is not to that of any default RPG Maker engine, reason for this is that the engine keeps changing what's default. So outside scripts and plug-ins are always required to use these. I've started creating guides and help to use these in whatever engine you're using. If you'd like to submit your own guide (Video or Text) I'm open to submissions. Thank you and enjoy. Spoiler: Examples The best way to show your weapons in battle! Have them seen all the time during the fight and simply equip different weapons to see the difference in battle! Once set up adding new weapons is easy and so effective on your players. Give every weapon their own unique look in battle, from swords to guns, there's thousands of weapons that you can have your party use! 32x32 images for actors and monsters, includes all colour variations and without boarder. Use in battles, save file previews, mini-maps and more. 32x32 weapon icons for every weapon there is! Plus for every weapon there's a single still image file for a close look at the weapon. Use in menus, shops, info books and even in pop up windows when collecting. Single large weapon images for those special shops Character and enemy images come in Portraits, Busts and Face cropped sizes.

Two updates for the animated battlers as I missed a post last time.

Holders Animated Battlers - Witch and Jester Class Base by Holder The Witch zooms around on their broom and casting and swinging it around. The Jester will use a large ring weapon to spin the foes into chaos.

Holders Animated Battlers - Barbarian and Reaper Class Base by Holder
Heavy hitters of the barbarian class brings destructive force to your party, or slice up your target with your scythe as a Reaper class.

Holders Animated Battlers - Knight and Crusader Class Base by Holder
They're back! This time the knight comes with a Female version, new poses, new weapon designs and the ability to use a 2 Handed Axe!

With this release the Animated Battler job class bases are now COMPLETE!

Holders Animated Battlers - Samurai and Assassin Class Base by Holder
The agile Samurai is patient and waits for the exact time to strike. Take up arms with it's Assassin sub class and use the dual to dice up the enemy!

Since the bases are now complete and the second set of 15 job classes are being created I've decided to repurpose my bases for the default format of RPG Maker MZ & MV, as a bonus I'm pleased to be the first to release visual assets for the yet to be released RPG Maker Unite!

Click to be taken to the Free itch download page.

I've followed the naming structure and with 540 images in the folder the 30 actors are done and ready to go upon release. The MZ and MV folder has the 30 actors ready with their 15 weapons already equipped since there's no default Visual Weapons, if there does happen to be one released then I'll update the pack accordingly.
Also any future released will now contain my Streamline format and the default for MZ/MV and Unite.

Guess I need to rename this topic...

A preview of the next set of weapons (7 types out of a total of 15 different types).
The ones still under development are; whip-rifle-fan-crossbow-shield-minigun-dual-ring.

The characters are a bit cut up because of the guidelines I use for placing weapons.

Been working on the faces of the batch of free actors I'm doing, any guesses which RTP was the most varied for the 30 classes?

Still doing lots of tweaks as to how I'd like the hair to flow and what style of highlights I'm going to use. Did a lot of 2x2 highlights but it ended up looking too bubble like.

Working on the first releases for the Squire/Mercenary. Based on the XP RTP and well since the character sets don't match the battler images it's really difficult to see what they're wearing.

XP001
Squire/Mercenary
1 handed Sword/1 handed axe
4 colour variations with 160x160 single image and 32x32 turn icon image

First Hero is complete and can be downloaded for free here: https://holder-anibat.itch.io/holders-animated-battlers-free-heroes

Put a little watermark over the gif since this is all the frames in the sheet. I made the first variation look like Actor4-1 from VX so there's a bonus.
Why no weapon? These are designed for use with Visual weapons, and you can easily add any of the corresponding weapons that you want it to hold. Guide here on how to do it if you're not sure about layers.
I'd love some feedback now that I've started getting heroes done.

The next Actor design has been tweaked and now I'm working on the 52 frames.
Another Squire/Mercenary class

These are excellent. I am looking forward to seeing more of the set because, as you rightly say, it's great to have a visually consistent set of battlers, and humanoid battlers are the rarest, apart from the generator ones.

Thank you, I'm trying my best to keep going. Also welcoming anyone who'd also like to contribute.

Next work in progress for the XP005, I haven't really kept up showing WIP stuff so gonna change that.
This is a Knight/Crusader, looking old in the first default design but for the others gonna make him look a bit younger and some nice gold armour.

After some thoughts on the alternative colours for XP005, trying to give some non old guy looks but still with a receding hair line.
