Throwables: Animated (Elements Weapons) (Patreon)

Howdy, I hope your weekend was a good one! I'm back again with more new weapons:

Today's release is a whole bunch of different throwable items:

Three throwing-axes

Two boomerangs

Blade Chakram

Two shurikens

A bottle (Splash potions!?)

A bomb

Each one has a still frame (can be used as an icon, too) in addition to a four-frame "thrown" animation! They're intended to work as throwable objects, and you can use them as weapons, projectiles, or you can even give them to your enemies: as hazards for the player to avoid!

I hope you'll have a use for them in your game project!

☀️ ELEMENTS WEAPONS SUMMER ☀️

Every Monday for this June and July, I'll have a new Elements piece, specifically focusing on more variety for weapons/armor/accessories for combat. I have a big list of requests and suggestions from patrons, so I think that this will be a really useful one!

Back Sheathed Swords 1 and 2

Back Quiver and Sheathed Giant Sword

Crossbow and Bow2

Mace and Morningstar

Magical Wizard Staffs

Arrow Varieties and Throwing Blades

After the event's finished with the full series, I'll compile them into the next expansion pack for Elements, and this time it'll be available as a patron pack (like we've done with other patron-event-collections).

How to Use:

These are designed to be supplemental object sprites for the Elements series: they go directly in your game, instead of functioning as part of the character generator.

I'd recommend overlaying the non-animated object sprite with the windup-frame of the attack/tooluse animation (unarmed) for your Elements character, and then follow-through as a separate projectile object using the animated sheet.

For reference, see the throwing knives from last week's release:

I've exported a master spritesheet for general use as well as a .zip file with individual animation strips. Here's the downloads:

Downloads:

Throwable Projectiles (Full Sprite Sheet) - 100%

Reminder: If your browser doesn't want to download the .zip file, copy-paste into the URL bar.

I have one more new weapon planned for next week, to finish off the special summer event, and cap off this series of Elements Weapons.

But before that, I'll be back on Friday with with our regularly-scheduled second release of the week.

See you soon. Thank you!
