The Free Archives (Formerly Animations Archive)

hadecynn · 2016-01-19T09:49:48+0900

6/15/2020 Today we're happy to announce the revival and rebranding of the former Animations Archive. As many of you are aware, the free resources we've posted here have become hard to get a hold of over these years. To solve this issue, we've decided to put everything on itch.io where they'll be more permanently available and easier to manage. The Free Archives will be released periodically and will contain remastered versions of free assets released since 2016, experimental prototypes, and other assets crafted by Dreams Circle that do not fall into our flagship brands. These assets are designed for game production but can be used for anything as long as the Terms of Use are followed. Note that whereas the old Animations Archive releases were set to 20FPS, these remastered assets have all been made at 30 AND 60 FPS, so they're perfectly compatible with all of our paid assets (Animations Collection and Animations Select). Without further ado: The Free Archives Vol.1 by Dreams Circle dreams-circle.itch.io Enjoy!

@hadecynn - Careful, soon is trademarked.

So you could be sued and thrown in jail and slapped with a fish and only can eat rocks for the rest of your life, if caught,

which would happen soonTM

Good evening RPG Maker Forums!

Today's release is an experimental exercise looking at a new method to generate highlight and shades in animations. Those of you who are familiar with image editing and the MV 1.1 update were probably just as excited as I was about getting the options to use Multiply and Screen for blend modes. Of course, it's a shame that we still don't have cool stuff like Overlay, but at least these options have given us ways to create more responsive colors.

Of course, the problem is that if you can't separate the lighter parts of a cell from the darker parts, then having these different blend modes doesn't really do you any good if you want them to occur in the same animation. Therefore, today's release was an experiment to see what would happen by separating the dark/light layers and re-integrating them back through MV's animation tool.

For those that have no idea what I'm talking about above, load the View attachment Animations.json and compare EngineFire to EngineFireLayered to see the difference (you have to have all 3 animation sheets).

Oh that protect.exe is SO beautiful *v* I'm a huge sucker for hexagons.

That's a pretty amazing Protect animation. So cool, and perfect for sci-fi games (even fantasy ones too).

Good afternoon RPG Maker Forums!

For those of you that missed it, there was a release on Saturday (Protect.EXE) that I had to add through editing the post on Friday (Engine Fire) due to forum rules. Its on the previous page, go take a look if you haven't already.

Anyway, for today, we have one of the elements that was listed on the survey but didn't score that high. Nevertheless, it is a theme that I've wanted to try in a while, so here we are.

That's such an awesome animation! I've always missed nature-based animations in RPG Maker's VX Ace's and MV's RTP. The closest thing from a nature animation in that versions is one of the Bind animations, which shows luminous vines binding the target. However, it won't look 'natural' at all since the vines are just energy constructs instead of living plants.

The lack of animations for elements other than the common ones (Fire, Ice, Thunder, Darkness etc) not only prevents us from implementing ideas that are different from the majority of the RPGs but also give us a hard time when making fangames that contain uncommon elements (e.g. if I wanted to make a Pokémon fangame, the only way I could create animations for new Grass-type moves would be making them by myself. However, not everyone can do it).

Keep making these amazing animations, man ^^

Wanted to make something that resembled charging up energy, so here it is:

Like the charge a lot. Got a few ideas on what to do with it.

#233 Mar 25, 2016, 03:26 PM Source

That would be useful for casting physical (or at least non-magic) skills

The intention for today's release isn't so much a battle animation as it is just a utility animation, but I guess it's possible to use this in battle as well?

*raises eyebrows* I was just going to use one of the Wind animations, but this works too!

#236 Mar 29, 2016, 12:56 AM Source

I have to say that's a pretty useful animation. I could use it for a Teleport skill that I already made in case you want to leave the dungeon. However, the Teleport Script that I'm using is now totally worthless to me now. And I will get myself a new Teleport skill script.

We've had a lot of magic effects now, so let's revisit physical skill animations.

That looks pretty cool. Could make a good skill out of it. X3

Good morning RPG Maker Forums.

As you have probably noticed, I haven't been updating according to schedule in the past few days. I apologize.

Unfortunately, there's been a number of changes in my life/work schedule that's now taking up a lot of my time, and I don't think that I'll be able to maintain the current update schedule while maintaining the standard of quality in what I release. I'd like to ask for your understanding as I take a brief break to figure out how to best fit the Animations Archive into my new schedule.

Regards,

hadecynn
