Holders Animated Battlers -streamline- Give your battles that unique look and make it stand out! Can be used with any engine since RPG Maker XP to MZ and even Unite! 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.

Hi yeah I'm still getting the individual parts ready for it. They didn't want to release it without a base set for them. Thanks for asking about it as it helps me know that people are waiting to use it.
It's on my urgent to release list.
No worries and thanks for confirming. Is it possible that we see it this year? Hate to give you deadlines but is there a target date/time for release?

I think after I finish this portrait then that marks off all the Wizard job class complete for now. So then I'll jump onto doing those.

Day 5 of the don't break the chain had me trying to figure out how I'd like the hair on Sally to look.

Excited to see what's next on your don't break the chain challenge... I'm especially looking forward to the new classes we haven't seen a glimpse of yet.

Sally looks great!

Where have you been, Holder? Waiting for some updates, is everything ok? I'm guessing life got in the way, and I respect that. ;)

Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been working on bringing everything together.
At least one actor per job class, it has a new pixel portrait - updated animated battler - easier to follow weapon grid for the single and sheet - map sprite - 3rd weapon of each of the base 5 types.

I've been waiting to have a handful complete before updating the packs so it doesn't seem mismatched with different styles.
I've finished:
-XP001, squire
-XP002, fencer
-XP005, knight
-XP024, hunter
-Graham, crusader
-Sally, wizard
-Violet, Ranger
Here's a look at the new portraits.

Hey, it all looks awesome! I insist you take your time, since more time = better result. I hope it all comes together in the end... oh, I'm sure it will!
I'm especially excited about those third classes. I'm planning to use those in my games... it's been fun seeing the new weapons, and I'm already using the pouch from the Apothecary class.

I'm so pleased to hear that @LunarFlareStudios you should show some screenshots.

I've just finished the designs of the Flail weapon set and now in the process of doing all their alternative colours:

Whoa, they look awesome! I usually don't gravitate towards the wooden designs, but for this case, it's definitely my favorite.

Pack updated to the latest collection. Special weapons for each actor and pixel portraits/face graphics.

Though numbers on this pack are very low, I still would like to finish this. Since this pack started I've been working my way though 100% each job role with all three job classes and weapon sets.
After this I'd like to know what people would want to see, so please any feedback of future sets you'd like to have, let me know here.

Sorry to bother again but wanted to inquire on the status of the character generator and see how that project was going.

Hair parts are proving to be tricky but it's getting there. Also been separating the released map sprites for parts also.
Is there any parts in particular you'd like to have? (Style, theme etc.)

I don't want to make this a diversity thing but one thing that I find generators lack is parts for other types of ethnicities. The majority of characters I'm creating in my game are intended to be from the Caribbean, so would it be possible get like some hair styles for more African cultures (especially for men)? Like hairs mimicking Barrett (FF7), Riley and Huey (Boondocks cornrows and afros) and I guess the average cut as in Daniel (Parasite Eve)

Other than that, could we get maybe some modern/futuristic themed clothing as well for more modern/scifi stories?

I would absolutely love to see some stuff for anthro characters. I'm a lover of nekojin and kitsune, so I've often had to draw the parts myself, which can be a painstaking process. I'm also a fan of winged creatures, so if there's any way to create wings for fairies, angels, and demons (even if just part of the Valkyn class, if that's how those wings work), I'd love to see that too.
Such a shame that XP's Fighter_007 never got an alternate version that added her cat ears... but don't worry, I found a way to add them myself. As I've said before, that cute cat girl inspired my old sona, Kitty Warmwonder, who still has a place in my new multiverse as my current sona's mysterious cousin. She might get her own original book series one day.

@Holder Not sure if you know, but your Legend of Templates and Grids pack is missing characters.

Specifically:

Acrobat, Cleric, Warden
Archer, Soldier, Bard
Assist, Dancer, Brawler
Barbarian, Reaper, Berserker
Fighter, Rogue, Ringmaster
Lancer, Paladin, Shaman
Mage, Sentinel, Poacher
Sage, Elementor, Monk

I've planned to include an actual likeness of that character (XP007) within the new XP pack, however the reason I'm asking about what people would like is that that pack is my least downloaded and liked pack. It hasn't yet hit 500 downloads where as the others are beyond 5000.
And that leads onto the next part...

...which is this. I'm currently working through each class that you mentioned above. Reworking each class to contain their third weapon. Additionally giving them a pixel portrait, improved templates and weapon grids, adding projectiles where needed and a character fully ready to use via the XP pack.

It's newer and still in the works, so more stuff and more classes will be added in free updates. I've just downloaded the latest updates, and more are to come.
