bow animation, sword shield animation weapon choices would be great, i see you are already working on the bow. I plan to add crossbow and glaive as ranged weapons if i can imitate your work flow, but doubt it.
monsters could be good too. Much appreciate it, i got a great game coming with your assets. Keep up the good work, hope it helps you make a lot more money.
I’d only just bought it when the price dropped – I’m absolutely gutted.😭
Upcoming top down sprites will be free if you own this pack!
nice job!! Could you add a bow attack animation and a double jump animation? It would be nice a huge monster pack also!
Bow is coming along with some new combat animations
Any chance for a monster pack to match this art style? I'd love to use the characters but hard to find matching art style for enemies
I have a monster pack in planning but the next update will be the top down sprites first
hello, when do you estimate the new update will come:D the one with 4 directions
Still working on the layers
I’ll try asap
cant wait:3 my game is slowly getting ready for an alpha version after almost 2 years:D i just love this character pack:)
Hellooo, planning to do bow ? It's the only wep missing uwu...
Yup I'm working on adding additional combat moves currently, bow will be added along side with this
Lovely, you're the best <3 !
Artes incríveis! Mas qual o tamanho? 16px? 32?
Desde já agradeço e parabéns!
The character is within 32 in height
obrigado!! fiz a aquisição do seu asset pack! Seria tão bom se adicionasse arqueiros! o(*°▽°*)o
Just wanted to say thank you for this pack, it fits perfectly for the platformer I'm working on. I see that you have crouch related animations planned but what about climbing animations (back of character facing the camera)?
Looks neat!
I can add the climb animation since it is similar to the top down back sprites
Hi, this is really cool, thank you so much for making the pack.
It was mentioned before but would really love a bow weapon (pointing up and pointing forward would make sense)
Excellent work! JRPG dreams come true! Are you working on any new packs? Would love to get more of your art for my game.
Appreciate it a lot! And yes I'm working on the updates!
hey, does this mean we may get up and downs?
Hey yes the 4 directional sprites will be made free for everyone owning this pack
But it will be just the idle and walking sprites planned currently
Your work is amazing, do you do commission based work? I'd love to hire you for a project I'm working on (platformer)
Hey currently no, I want to work on updating assets hear
Darn. Keep up the great work though! :)
Hello! I absolutely love your art style and the animation you made, simply the best pixel art animations i've seen!
I saw you are working on 4 way directional. Could you please provide an update on that?
I appreciate it a lot
I'll come work on this asset pack full time once I clear some freelance orders I have currently
Hi! I made a small unofficial browser tool for HEROES 99.
Tool page: https://yhkk.itch.io/heroes99-spritesheet-tool
What it does:
- Combines skin, face, hair, clothes, and weapon layers
- Previews animation clips such as Idle, Run, Attack, Cast, Dash, and Roll
- Exports a composed PNG sprite sheet
- Exports and imports JSON composition data
Users still need to own/download the original HEROES 99 pack separately.
Thank you for making such a useful asset pack!
I'm also looking forward to bow attack animations in the future.
Thank you so much for the addition!
I wasn't able to pin the comment, I have added the link in above!
Hello how are you? I loved several of your packages, I already bought the portraits one and I'm about to buy the complete HEROES 99 pack.
I wanted to ask you: do you plan to make equipment items (armor, weapons, helmets, boots, capes) designed as separate layers to overlap the character sprite? Similar to the paper doll system, where each piece of equipment is a separate layer that aligns with the base character's animations.
The idea would be that when the player equips, for example, armor in the game, the character's sprite reflects it visually, just like the layered portrait system that the pack already has. Is it something you have in mind or does it already exist in some version of the pack that I don't know?
Hey they are seperated in layers but currently there is no helmet, so it would be hairstyle, outifits, weapons and the base skin color
Perfect, if it had a helmet it would be ideal, but without it it works the same, I wrote to you on Instagram, do you have any pack of items to do more with these characters or can you make to order? I would have no problem paying for items and combat scenarios like the ones you show here.
Hey thanks for reaching out
I’ll get back to you on my inbox tonight
Could you tell me what UI is being used in the sample image at the top right? It complements your assets beautifully, and I'd love to use it alongside your assets.
Those are made for the mockups
So no full sets of it available
Hi all. I've built the Character Assembler, a free companion tool designed specifically to help everyone manage the amazing assets in the Heroes99 pack. It automates the layering process so you can mix and match parts instantly.

I wasn't able to pin the comment, I have added the link in above!
Thank you so much for sharing the tool
After purchasing it, I'm very disappointed that there are no archer or crossbow animations. I hope they'll be added as DLC in the future. Thank you for creating such great sprites.
I will add that along with other combat animations in the future
just purchased the pack, but realize it need the 4 way directional movement. i know youre a busy guy. hopefully soon?
You should be able to use this pack as a standalone since the 4 directional movement is just for overworld sprite in RPG games
It would be finish within 1 to 2 months
Thank you for such a great asset pack!
Are there any expected timelines for the bow animation update?
Not so soon for the bow
Up next would be the overworld sprites and a free overworld tileset
Thanks for letting me know!
I'll keep an eye on the upcoming updates :)
Do you have any Discord server? I would love to see updates on your work!
I'll be starting to post updates and wip on my new Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/au_pixel/
I'll share some works tomorrow!
Hey, any updates about the 4 directional movement?
Hey the base is finished
I'm working on the 4 directional along side with this top down tile set
Looks very good! good job!
Hey mate, any updates?:
Hey sorry it is still in the making
Have to work on other gigs to survive
とてもいい作品です。
このジェネレーターの進捗はいかがですか？
ポートレートも買いましたがこちらもお待ちしています
Thanks for the kind words
Probably next month for the update
Are there plans to have 4 directional movement? They look great for a turn based rpg but if there are no 4 directional movement then there is no way to use them outside of battle.
Hey I am currently working on it
The overworld 4 directional walking sprites base are made, and are now left adding in the hairstyle and outifts
It will be release along with a overworld tileset
Nice! Can't wait
I was going to ask the same I'll be buying your packs as soon as we have 4 directional for this, could you please let me know when they release over here? I'm such a fan if your style.
I cant guarantee an exact timeline because there are a few items I am working concurrently like some monster sprites and overworld tileset
But rest assured more rpg related assets compatible to this will be added very soon
Excited to hopefully see 4-directional sprites soon as well. I want to work on a open world 2d pixel game with characters i've made with these and those would be a must. Really great artwork!! Super excited to see what's next.
Cant wait broo! Best asset pack so far!
Could you please add a bow and crossbow animations?
really love this set but its just missing that for a perfect rpg game imo!
Working on some monsters to pair with atm
More updates on this set after those are added!
awesome glad to hear!!
How have I not seen your stuff before?!
Amazing 5* stuff.
Could be interesting to add a mining/chopping/fishing style animation. You could probably just use one of the attack animations and change the weapon top/bot but people love those.
Thanks for the great idea! I'll try it out
Hi do you update a ride animation combine with horse or mount?
Not anytime soon
It is currently only the materials
The character generator will be made soon after I finish a tile set in the making
At the moment only available on this site
HEy, i bought this, but how do i edit those? i tried but couldnt figure it out how to edit them... please send me a tutorial Video link or something
Hey if you are looking to create a single character, simply load them in any editing software (Aseprite, Photoshop, etc,) Then place them in layers following the sequence in the gif guide provided
You may also create character customization within your game with all the separated PNG but would require more complex coding
i see. i managed that. Can u tell me how i get the individual Sprites of the movements etc?
The animations are sorted by row within the Sprite Sheets
Check out the frame guide attached when downloading
You can also splice them into individual png by 100x40
thanks, but how do i do this? is there any Tutorial Video link u can send me please?
I don't have a tutorial made atm
I will do that after adding generator to the asset pack
How do i use it ?
All of the parts are in PNG sprite sheet and separate in layers so you can make character customization in your game
If you need only one style you may stack the PNG with any photo editing software like photoshop or Aseprite
Character generator software is planned for the upcoming future
Wonderful work! Is there any way I could contact you privately??
Here's my gmail: au.pixel97@gmail.com
I would love to see more battle backgrounds for turn based in your style! There's surprisingly not much out there.
I definitely have that in mind
Hi! Quick question, did you by chance use a pallette (from lospec)? I want to use the same type of colors in icons and such.
Ahh the pallette used are hand picked
I do have a Aseprite file with all the pallettes
I'll check if it can be included and upload it
Hi! I love the asset pack. Is it maybe possible to also get the files or project file for the moving forest background?
Hey sure! I will check and add that in soon
Would love it!
Added the repeating forest bg image!
The second and third layer is simply the same image resized and added filter
Amazing! Can't wait for more enemies and backgrounds. Please keep us posted!
I really like this style. Do you have any plans to use this style to make tilesets?
Yes I am working on a platformer tile set
I love the style and would be interested in purchasing it for a top-down game, therefore my question: are idle and running animations including up and down? Also, is the size of the models the same as the free character sample pack?
Glad you like it
They are the same size but these are not top-down sprites
This is really great. I don't know if you plan to expand it with more options but I would absolutely buy expansions to this like extra weapon packs or extra clothing packs.
I just finished an RPG game and my one and only burning regret was that I had my hands tied with using the chibi-looking MV/MZ generator sprites for my battle characters. Thank you for making this.
Glad you like it!
More clothing and weapon variations will definitely be added in the near future!
Wow, this is really good. I just picked it up. Do you have any plans to flesh out that SRPG mockup?
Glad you like it!! The SRPG mockup is inspired by GBA Fire Emblem games
Feel free to suggest any upcoming assets you might need
Yeah I loved those games. I guess I'm particularly interested in the terrain/tiles they are standing on. Kind of a unique look, and it'd be cool to have more terrain types.
Fantastic pack, would be great to have more monsters in addition to your Cave Monsters 😊
I'll be making more monsters soon!!
Beautiful!
Does this work with RPG Maker MZ?
Thanks!! I'm not very familiar with RPG Maker
From what I've seen You might need to rearrange them to match the default layout in RPG Maker MZ
What UI assets is using in demo image? Interested in this assets but need to find the suitable Ui assets
Hi the asset pack is for the character customization
The display and mockup are also included as gifs and you may extract and use it freely after purchasing the pack
So after purchase I will also have the UI assets and the background also?
This is not made as a UI assets pack
There is not a complete set of UI in it
But you may use the backgrounds and stuff in those mockup as you need
