DEMO AVAILABLE!!!

What is AlphaZ?

AlphaZ is a template created originally by ZephyrSkye, Stone then decided to continue with the project and make some templates. After Stone I took the task and made some modifications to make sprites using this cool template.

The objective of the project is to make all the sprites needed to create a game with it, so i decided to make all XP RTP.

Now there is a Demo available for everyone to use. Feel free to download it

Yeah of course we can, send me a pm

i really like that style, the one problem i have with larger size sprites is i feel the screen resolution in rmxp is too small, and if you make tilesets that fit the characters the field of view is too small. makes if hard to really express a large building or an epic sized tree, castle, etc. but then on the plus side to a larger sprite you can add a lot more expression and detail to your characters and they feel more developed. personally i like the larger sprites, just not the way they fit in rmxp

This template has 2 main advantages

1 is that its big but not too big
2 it matches with animated battler templates

this is how it looks

Are you doing the whole RTP?

Thats my plan, at least making the whole NPC pack so a game is playable with this template, My next 1 is making a door chipset for this template so it can be used with XP tilesets for now. Im not sure if ill make whole new tilesets, thats too much work for 2 ppl (my brother and I) ^^

It seems to match the RTP better than the RTP. :P

Lol thank you ^^

Civilian 7 Finished now.

As we are working really hard to finish at least all the civilians atm... if anyone is intrested in this project and want to use Alphaz sprites... Feel free to request and we'll gladly do it.

After some hard work... we managed to finish Civ8!!! here it is..

You know, the head fits the RTP hair. If you guys are having problems, just copy the hair and paste it on your character's head. I meam, that wouldn't work for someone with long hair, but it works for those short-haired guys.

Oh i didnt know that, thanx for the fact, probably i wont use it but if i find a good hairstyle ill probably use it now that i know that

were working on this one atm, ^^

Do you guys do side view animated battlers? If so I have a proposition for you. I've been looking for some talented side view battle makers to hire for money. :) PM me if you're interested.

WOW if you guys get enough of these done, I will seriously use them in my game. Im LOVING these. Major props to all of you, this is really fantastic.

We are too busy atm with this project, we will indeed make battlers but we must finish this first so a game is playable with this template.

you see npcs and characters are basic to have a game, and battlers are not because you can have another battle system so the most important for us right now is making basic and then we will start taking requests and making battlers

Civilian 9 Added

Civilian 9 finished

Progress this weekend Civilian 8 and 9

Honestly, though. I suggest trying RTP hair at least once. You may be surprised at how they look.

And I don't mean to be a jerk, but you need to work on your pallettes. If you can't get it right just yet, just get an RTP character and steal their pallettes. I mean, that's what I did when I just started out.

The shading could also use some work. Look at your civilians 8 and 9. They look like they are wearing tubes. Add some wrinkles and make it look more natural.

I mean, I admire you for using the template that I started and Bestone finished. Keep working and improving.

Edit:
Here is an example I did using paint. Just to show you what I mean about wrinkles.

hey that one looks preaty good!!!

Can I have it when ever you get done?

Hmmm youre right about the clothes they could use a lil adjustments with the shading but i dont like rtp hair, im happy with most of my hairstyles, except for civilian 8 and 4, u must know this is my first sprites ever, but i know how to draw, so i can understand shading and i know ure right. but i love the hair i made to jack and civilian 9 for example ill be making upgrades to what i believe needs it and making them uploadable.

Thnx for the advice

I applaud you for doing these for your first sprites, but I do suggest redoing civ 8 and 9's hair, at least. I think Jack's hair is pretty good.

Just remember. Wrinkles are friends, not enemies. Add a little more contrast to your colors. You can use other people's hair.

And I'm probably not finishing the sprite. When I get a better computer, I'll make a tall AlphaZ Male and put him as that, so he looks more like his battler.

One last thing... I think we'll need to fix the template's sideview walking animation. It's not moving enough.

Thank you for the advice i really apreciate it By the way!! about the sideview animation, i think its the best animation ive seen. the legs are not too wide open and it looks natural.

No, I just realized why, it's the feet. Something feels funny with the feet.

after seeing your in game screenshot, and just walking around a map i have made up using rtp with the naked template, i think im going to switch over to this. ill probably end up using at a base and make a few minor adjustments for specific characters, but any npc's i make ill toss this way so if you like them you can include them in the project

after messing around for like 30 seconds, i found that simple stretching the rtp doors a bit taller looks just fin in game, like if you open up door01 in photoshop youll notice an empty space above each door, and that empty space is roughly how much taller you'd need to make the doors to look right, so some easy cutting and rearranging and copying pieces, pixel here and there, done deal
