Hey, I just bought this to use with TDSM. However, when I upload the TDSM.zip file to TDSM I get this error.

heya ^^ im gonna ask Jordan Bunke about this one thanks
Thanks!
heya man still waiting for the fix but a friend of mine from the server gave me a fixed file, try downloading the "repacked" file ^^
Sent you the fix! Sorry about the delay

Hi Shade, i hope you are doing well, i bought this, and i want to collaborate with you, what is the way i can talk to you?
heya man you can dm me on discord ^^ my id is shade599 or you can just find my server and find me there :)
Hi! Great work! I really liked this sprite set and bought it specifically to work with TDSM. Just had a question about adding additional assets. While there are enough base hairstyles and headwear. I was looking to make some hair the was more modular. Like front hair, base hair, and back hair for example. Is it possible for me to add my own sections in it? or is there some back end stuff that needs to happen for me to have add that? Also, no eyewear section?! Thats Glassic discrimination right there, jk.
heya man ^^ sorry i wasnt the one who made TDSM. you should probably ask it's dev Jordan Bunke or maybe comment it down here: https://flinkerflitzer.itch.io/tdsm.
Thank you so much for buying it man ^^, Ive been working on a new version for it with new animations like spear atks, mounts, swim... etc. with face profiles. having base hair and back hair sounds like a good idea for a more modular character customization ill think abt adding it in the new version.
ill probly contact Jordan and make em also TDSM once i finish the new version ^^ thanks againnnn
Hey man, please check your email 😅
Still waiting to hear back
ooh damn i totally forgot! i read it while i was at work but i forgot to send back a message.
Sent you the sprite style the other day for you to review! Feel free to send me your discord when you respond to the email if it’s easier to reach you there
heya man added the tdsm file here. can you help me make a widget? i can seem to make one for your link not sure what the issue is.
would be nice if you could copy paste it here
Added your pack to the approved sprite styles collection and sent the widget and a GIF via email!
Hey! I really enjoy your style and I'm planning to purchase the bundle, but can you tell what kind of armor sets are there? For example I'd love a samurai or barbarian but I can't tell if there anything similar. Or would I need to order it from you?
ah sorry i'll try adding a list next time. im planning on adding medieval warriors from different countries
Hi! I love your asset pack! I wonder if you have any plans to update it with more weapons / armor / helmets. There is plenty of stuff already but my procedurally generated open world rpg always wants more !!!
hey there! im actually working on a new version for this set(not sure when ill post an update). fixing some inconsistencies, making the art alot more clean, and making a version compatible for rpgmaker mz! :)

Totally will add more stuff especially capes and pauldrons.
as for animations im having second thoughts whether i should make more complex animations like swim animation, sit animations, roll etc. since i really wanted devs to easily make custom hats/ custom gears using this spritesheet hmmm choices choices.
Great! Thanks a lot! I will use anything you create. Your artwork is exactly what I need for my project, 90% of the assets I am using are yours. Fantastic job! I'm using Godot by the way, and I have created my own character editor for your assets. I just hope one day I'll be happy enough with my game to release it :-P
Hi, I want to add more weapons, will you provide skins that not merged with tools(weapons)?
hi ^^,
the throw animation is kind of the same as the attack (sword/staff) animations you can add weapons there :))
I see, thank you^^
Hello!
I just purchased this spectacular character set, but I'm missing a simple description of the animations. Could you please add a text file with the frame secuences for the different animations?
Thanks in advance!
hi it should be inside gimp layers ^^
Oops! I have open the photoshop version. Thanks!
i see let me check on that too thanks! ^^
Dang Shade! the assets are awesome
thnx browski
Hi, great assets! In the tutorial I can see you presenting some animations like celebrating that are not mentioned in the description above. Are there more of these animations there?
I see, the celebration animation was just a simple jump animation ^^.
I'm not sure if there are more creative ways we use the sprites for other types of animation.
I made the throw animation as a placeholder for different types of weapons, like spears, axes, and even a shield bash or something.
Cool, thank you!
is there a way you can add a different payment method? i really love these assets and dont have access to paypal :(
pretty sure ive sent the copy to
thank you!
^^
