Test For new RTP

Hello, I found this community recently and I wanted to try to help with RTP Replacement. But I wanted to be sure my WIP Replacement is good enough and follows the rules and guidelines.
Test_RTP

Hopefully I can help more if this one is going in the right direction.

Hey, very nice!

2 suggestions:

the top row on a charset is used for facing-up poses.
Characters on the RTP Style are not used to have mouths.

Here’s a sample from an EasyRPG character:

That said, you are doing a great job!
If you need more references, this is the full character file:

more characters references can be found on the OG RPG Maker Characters database:

You can choose one to make a new art inspired by, like in this example:

Thanks you for the tips. By listening to your advice and checking references I made this.

Any more critics and help is welcome :slight_smile:

Looking nice, maybe, on the left/right poses, the eyes should be closer to the nose/mouse part of the face:

They are used to have only 1px of distance from the nose/mouth area.

Maybe some changes on the hair could make it closer to what you are imagining for it,
here are some references from differents charasets with long/tied hair people have been making through the years:

Thank you so much! I’ll fix it and watch more references for the hairstyle. Is there a list of Graphic RTP that we need? Like a checklist to replace everything?

every single file from this folder needs to be replaced.

except “主人公1.png”

I want to make a proper checklist with the international name of those files, but I can’t find much free time to do it

Yooo those ones are looking cool!

I’m just thinking about the handle color, in a case where someone that replaces the RTP has the text “DON’T PULL THE RED LEVER” on their game :thinking:

Another thing: We already have the Doors + Chests ones, pointing here so we can avoing make duplicates of those

looking nice!
the minecart has little up and down animation from the top part to the wheels, to help giving the feeling of motion. i guess it is one pixel thingy.

Other small change I’d suggest, is to move the stones down,
to the bottom of their sprite limit, I guess that gives the impression that they cover something, like an entrance or another character.

And the square button it’s kinda abstract for me, idk if I understand they.

That said, those assets are A Tier, very good for usage.

Wow those slime looks really good :heart_eyes:

Also great objects.

Just to make sure because this wasn’t discussed yet:
For inclusion in the EasyRPG RTP the assets must be licensed under CC-BY or CC0.

  • CC-BY means “usage requires attribution”. So every game using your assets (modifed or unmodified) must mention you as the author
  • CC0 means “public domain”. Every game can use your assets and mentioning the author is optional.

The citation info will be generated by the editor automatically later.

Are you fine with one of the licenses? If yes please pick one.

All my Assets are CC0. I want to help this community with all my heart.

It looked like the Boy Sprite was not changed so I made this.
Test_Child
If the movement is too similar to the RTP I can change it.

They look good, maybe those white eyes are hard to read…

The OG eyes, are like little dots floating over a big forehead:

Maybe something like this could work…?

The front part of it looked like a little hat on my mockup, but feel free to use or discard any idea from this suggestion :}

This looks all really good. Keep up the good work.

Starting from text week I’m going to schedule posts on Twitter and Instagram containing these assets.

Maybe it will also attract more artists :slight_smile:
