Greenhouse Tileset (Interior)
Hello! Today's post is based on a patron request.I've seen this request for a greenhouse for a couple months now... I had a hard time imagining how to actually put it together... see, my first idea was that it'd be some sort of see-through frame that the player would walk underneath. But that's... kinda weird... So I've been putting off this request for a while.Today, I sat down to figure it out, and I decided that we're g...
Request Thread December 2021
Wow! It's the final month of the year!Let's go! Post here with an asset request. I'll fill what I can and release each as I finish them. Each requested asset will be released to the whole patron group.------Suggestions: Requests with likes from other patrons will have priority. The more likes, the higher chance of doing it. Repeats are OK -- if I didn't get to a request from a previous month, feel free to post it again here. Stuff...
Elements Final Preview
Hey guys, I have a BIG elements preview today-- planned to be the final preview before the actual release sometime in mid-December.First off-- my buddy fmoo put together a special aseprite script that speeds up the export process. This is huge, it'll save me an insane amount of time vs aligning thousands of sprites in Photoshop.Today's sheets were exported using that script. You can download the latest preview .zip here: Elements preview ...
Jubilee on itch (download for top-tier)
This post is just to give access to the game for high-tier patrons.Okay... I've talked about this game enough. You're probably sick of Jubilee posts by this point 😅As promised, you get access to everything that I release. That includes full games.Today I put the game up on itch, now that the initial Steam launch sale is over. So there's now a patreon access link for patrons at the $10-tier and higher.Details and Screenshots: Jubile...
Monster's Belly Set Release
Hello! Something smells gross...Over the past month or so, I've released this set as a series of regular patron updates. So today's post is really no surprise.If you've kept up with all of the releases so far, then there's no new content here. Everything is compiled together into a convenient set, so if you haven't grabbed it yet, now's a good chance.Details: Page on itch.ioPatron Access ($5+ Patrons free download): Downlo...
Another Inside Belly expansion
Wriggling tentacles... I mean... Hello! I hope you had a good weekend. :)This should be the last update with Inside-Belly stuff. I wanted to add a few more extras before compiling it into a release for itch-- just some more variety in the tileset and some more animations that you can use to make interactive elements.------First up, there are some animated nerve-tentacles. The cool thing about these is that they have a special animation that you c...
Jubilee released!
Yesterday I've finally released my first full game on Steam!It's a platform game-- I've posted about it before, so this isn't a surprise.I know that my patrons are a different kind of audience than those who might dig this game (you're here because you're working on games of your own, after all!) -- but I felt like I couldn't go without making a post for the release. :shrug:You can find it here: Jubilee Steam PageALSO:...
Cell and Bacteria Monsters
Hello! These sprites are from ideas based on patron suggestions.After last week's giant heart, today's release might be our last little addition to the Inside the Monster's Belly series.These sprites, designed based on various cells and bacteria, roam around inside the belly dungeon, looking for intruders... intruders like the player!Downloads: Cell Monsters - Sheet - 100% Cell Monsters - Sheet - 200% (RMVX) Cell Monsters - Sheet - 30...
The Heart...
Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.Last few weeks, I've been putting together a bunch of releases based on patron suggestions for an Inside the Monster's Belly dungeon area.This beating heart can serve as a focal setpiece for the dungeon-- maybe it's your character's goal, maybe it's a notable part of a central hub chamber... maybe it's the boss itself!Downloads: Heartbeat Sprite Sheet - 100% Heartbeat...
Giant Mouth Dungeon Opening
Hello! Today's release is based on a popular patron request.The leviathan erupts from the earth and opens its massive maw...The final frame is designed to stay on your world map as an entrance to the Monster's Belly dungeon!After I made the initial sprite animations with a transparent background, I went ahead and made two variations that can be used with specific terrain types based on the world map tiles: desert and grass. They have some...
TF Char 2-1 tool animation set
Hello! I have a bunch of character animations for you today.The 2-1 character is my archetypal hero sprite for the original TF set, so he's a good choice to animate for these-- and if you are using the animation bases for other sprites, then maybe this will help as a reference to how I adapted a character onto the base.All of the animations here use previously-released TF bases. The animations included are: Mining (Pickaxe) Axe Swing Fishing ...
Jubilee TF Sprite
Hello! Today's release is one that I found really fun personally to make.Today's sprite is based on the main character from my upcoming platformer game Jubilee. I recreated her in the Time Fantasy style.Even though she's based on a character from my game, you can use the sprite any way you want in your own project, just like any other sprite that I release. I thought it would be fun to make her to celebrate the game release, but this ...

Let's review our releases from the past few weeks:Patreon Assets: Bubble Bath Tiles Crystal Shrines SV Battler: Cowboy Cliff Drop Tiles Giant Skull Setpiece DoorIn addition to those, this month we found a recurring theme as I created this bigger tileset based on some patron suggestions: Inside the Monster's Belly: Inside the Monster's Belly Ti...
Giant Skull Setpiece Door
Hello! I hope you're having a fantastic SPOOKTOBER. I have something fun today.I've released some graphics before for the Day of the Dead holiday. Today's release could fit into that theme.It's designed to fit in with a tileset from the Ruined Dungeons Tileset expansion pack.The tileset includes the giant skull with some different variation tiles. There's two colors, based on the statues from the Ruined Dungeons set. I also ha...
Elements Char Pieces Progress
Hello! Every time I write up one of these, it seems to turn into a massive essay... I'm going to try to keep this one focused on images... though we'll see how well goes........ 🙄Over the past few weeks since the previous preview post, I've been working on the character asset pieces that will make up the upcoming elements pack.Today I want to share some of these with you. Check this out:Here's some of what I've been working...
More Inside Belly Tiles
Hello! I have one more small expansion add-on for this set.This is a tile add-on that will give the set a little more flexibility. The most notable part of today's release is the bridges. They're designed to look like a cluster of veins, and the player can use them to cross those dangerous pits.Personally I think that this is a cool idea because it allows for a different section of the dungeon that has a unique feeling to it, separating i...
Cliff Drop Tiles
Hello! I have a small bonus release this morning.This isn't the post I had scheduled for this week-- that will be tomorrow. Today's release is just a little extra. I made this as an example for someone last night. Nothing fancy, but you might have a use for it.The tiles show a small patch of dirt and some erosion at the top of the cliff-- the idea is to signal a place where the player could drop down to a lower level.There are a few diffe...
Inside Belly Animated Extras
Hello! I'm back with some new stuff for you today!Last week I shared this set of graphics based on the classic inside-the-monster's-belly-dungeon. Today I'm back with some extras to expand on that set.Today's graphics are some animations that will help you add some extra interactivity to the monster's-belly. I'm always trying to think of ways to help you create puzzles to make your dungeons more interesting.First off, ther...
SV Battler Cowboy
Howdy! Today's release is based on a suggestion from a patron.This character is based on the cowboy from the "modern1" character sheet in the Future Fantasy expansion pack.He has a unique weapon: his main attack is a whip, and his secondary weapon is a revolver. I hope that you find this sheet to be useful!Downloads: SV Battler - Cowboy - 100% SV Battler - Cowboy - RMMV/MZ------I'll be back after the weekend with something new. Ba...
Inside the Monster's Belly
Hello! Today's release is very big! It's based on a popular idea that's been showing up in the patron requests for a long time now...This is a much bigger release than the usual ones that I share every week, so I've set this post to be a special reward for only patrons at the 5-tier and higher.Eww... gross... It stinks in here! Don't step in the stomach acid!This is a tileset for the inside of the monster's belly. You'...
Crystal Shrines
Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.I've never played Diablo myself, but after seeing this patron request, I looked up some images of Diablo's shrines. Instead of copying them directly, I took the general idea and tried to make something new that would add to the Time Fantasy style.I can see them being used in a bunch of different ways. From a decorative statue, to a save point, an interactive monument-- maybe even as ...
Bubble Bath Tiles
Hello! Today's release is based on one of the patron requests from last month.I tried to make this bathtub one that could make sense in the classic fantasy setting-- so no faucet: the servants fill up the tub with hot water using those wash buckets. I think that's how it worked... based on what I've seen on TV... >_>Like all of my tile add-ons, these are arranged in a simple grid so that you can easily add them into any tileset.Downlo...
Request Thread October 2021
Hello! I can't believe it's already spook-tober...Post here with an asset request. I'll fill what I can and release each as I finish them. Each requested asset will be released to the whole patron group.------Because I'm gonna be focused on the new style characters (in addition to the regular Time Fantasy patron releases), there's probably not going to be a spooky Halloween theme this year. Unless you count the layered charact...

Sprite Sheet Formatting Feedback thread
Hello! Today's post has no new graphics-- instead I'm asking for your suggestions.You're aware that I've spent a lot of time over the past few weeks finalizing the elements base, structure, and animations. For reference, here are the previous two progress posts: Elements Progress Thread #3 Elements Progress Thread #4Everything's moving along swimmingly, as I've explained (in detail) in those threads.Right now, now that I&#...
Wolf Pack Update: Downed Sprites
Hello! Today's update is based on a popular patron request.Awww-- aren't they cute?Today's release is a simple update to the Wolf Pack, with two new frames that provide more poses for the wolves. One of the poses is a frame that could work for a KO/dead pose or sleeping; while the other pose is the sleepy-dog curled position.Later today, I'm also going to update the download page on itch to include the new sheet into the .zip file...
Elements Character Preview 3 (4? 5? idk lol)
Howdy!I told you yesterday that I was gonna have this for you today. Sorry for the little delay.

Head/hair layers separate and updatedOkay! Based on patron feedback and some of my own additional exploration, I've finalized my decision on how the heads will work...
elements update preview tomorrow
Hello.I was planning on another elements progress update today, because I made massive progress this week.(this is planned to be the final preview/progress/feedback thread on the animations and sprite base-- after this I'm on schedule to jam out the individual sprites!)But my mom had trouble with her vehicle and I spent most of the afternoon driving her, and then dropping her off to pick up her car at the shop. So I didn't have the time I...
Robed Cultist Update
Hello! Here's some extra sprites for today's post.You'll remember these robed cultist sprites from yesterday. They seem pretty popular.Based on a suggestion, I went back and put together a quick color variation, so you can have some more options.While I was doing that, I had another idea... so I also have another variation with a skull-mask for each of the different colors.I hope that you find this to be useful.Downloads: Robed Cultis...
