So to achieve this we need to make a palette first of all, simply choose “create palette from current sprite” and it will save all the colours of your picture as the palette on the side. A file should have no more than 256 colours and have a BPP of 8. And look out for a too high tolorance that will include more colours than you want to change.Īs you might already know RPGmakers are rather picky when it comes to colour depth.

Just make sure that the layer isn’t locked. This can easily be done with the Replace Colour tool (shift+R). Since I flattened the charset base and coloured background together I had to manually remove the background. But for this you need to make sure that you have a whole character when the removing is done. Alternatively remove the bottom layer completely. The difference is that they are more flexible when it comes to sizes and colours.Īt this point it is a good idea to flatten the layers together or move right ahead to the saving options. The rpgmaker software has set restrictions on size of each set and the file itself after all.Īlthough this shows a RPGm2k3 file the same process can be applied to the other makers.

in this guide I’ll use the RPGM2k3 charset template. When you start aseprite open up a template to begin with. Gamemaker has a well done spiting tool included in it but what it really lacks is layers and that can make spriting difficult, especially the animations. Working with templates is easier with layers.Įver tried to work with templates but you keep drawing over them or mesing it up in a different way? Layers is your friend here. Step 1 of this guide will be how this software will make spriting easier for you.

This is a guide with tips on how to use Aseprite to achieve the same results. Do you have some trouble making resources for your RPGmaker projects or gamemaker? Not gonna pay 80€ for Photoshop but still want to work with layers and animation?
