Ultimate Pixel Guns

FEATURES

Full-color detailed mid-res pixel art weapons. All weapons include normalmaps for all frames and attachments, meaning they can mimic 3D space, can be shaded in real time and should react beautifully under different lighting conditions. All normalmaps are provided in Y+ and Y- variations, to comply with any game engine or software you wish to use.

All weapons include several attachments and different weapon configurations. All weapons feature removable mags and sprites in all necessary conditions to animate firing, reloading, adjusting buttstocks and monopods, and folding and unfolding bipods.

The average size of the weapons is 100x40 pixels, which is the range where pixel art shines while still being able to depict details - the individual size of each weapon matches its real world counterpart.

We're fond of accuracy at Black Tulip. These weapons were drawn from real-world references with rigid scale standards, at exactly 1 pixel per real-world centimeter. The weapons are perfectly in scale with each other.

All weapons and attachments are shipped in sprites of the same canvas size, anchored with the trigger in the same place so you can easily switch weapons if needed.

This initial release includes 10 weapons with several attachments and variations per weapon. By overlaying different attachment combinations, this pack allows for over a thousand weapon variations!

On top of all that, this pack is rolling - every week we'll release a new weapon with plenty of attachments and details, and all buyers will get lifetime access to all updates. If you need a specific weapon for your project, drop a comment and we'll release it super fast!

BONUS SOFTWARE INCLUDED

This pack incudes a 100% free copy of our Normal Map Viewer, paid software designed to easily test different lighting conditions in normalmapped sprites, already preloaded with demo versions of all weapons in this pack. 

You can load other sprites into it too! You can see the full software page here. The version you'll get with this pack is the exact same full version sold in the main software page.

USAGE

The attachments and weapon configuration options are provided in the same spritesheet as the weapon itself, as overlays. 

To use them set up a sprite with the same size and position as the original gun, put it in front of the base gun and set its texture to whatever frame corresponds to the attachment or mod you want to use. This makes possible to create complex and interesting upgrade systems simply by overlaying sprites!

The attachment sprites are already pre aligned, so the attachments will appear in the correct place. If you want to use multiple attachments simply lay them on top of each other. Make sure the base gun (usually the first sprite in the sheet) is behind the attachments. 

If, on the other hand, you don't want to use an attachment system and just want pre-built variations, this pack also includes a "Demo" folder with pre-built weapon variations - just load and use!

The only sprite that should be behind the base gun is the magazine, although most sheets include mag and no-mag versions, so that shouldn't be necessary unless you're animating the reload - which you can also do easily.

Weapon conditions (bolt forward, back, dust cover open or closed, etc.) are all included for every weapon, usually as a different variation of the base sprite. All attachment sprites in all weapons are compatible with all base gun variations.

The pack ships with the original .ase files as well, if you'd like to edit them in the source.
