    lucid and BrashMonkey Team

    Thank you for the Run N' Gun Platformer Pack, It was right what I needed . Initially I wanted to wait for sub-entities to be available in the c2 plugin (to make the player aim in the direction he is shooting).

    I am working at a Megaman-type game and I am wondering if is a good idea to make all enemies in Spriter (performance related) ? ... What Spriter uses more ? CPU or GPU ?

    It depends on the size of the textures, but it will usually be more CPU. Using modular animation usually frees up a ton of VRAM for your GPU.

    Just picked up a license. Looking forward to using this on my next project!

    Thank you very much!

  • shuryon - thanks for the tip

    Hello Spriter devs

    I have some questions:

    - In your website, you said:

    [quote:3dk2smjx]IMPORTANT: Spriter 1.0 is still in development. This Early Adopter Sale price is a discount for those who purchase Spriter Pro before version 1.0. Official launch date of the full version of Spriter Pro is November 11th 2014.You will receive your serial number shortly after your purchase, which will unlock the Pro features. Additional Pro features will appear over the course of many future updates.

    I didn't buy Spriter Pro before, so can i still buy the early adopter sale version and use spriter? Can i update to the 1.0 version in the future when it is out for free too, or i have to buy the new version again?

    • What is the difference if i buy Spriter when:

    + i did buy Construct 2 Personal license before, in short buy Spriter in this link https://www.scirra.com/store/game-makin ... er-sale-78

    + i didn't buy Construct 2, in short, i just want to buy straight from your website http://www.brashmonkey.com/buy_spriter.htm

    Thank you.

    Hope to hear news from you soon.

    You will still get free updates to 1.0 for a long time to come. We have a ton of post 1.0 updates planned.

    Buying it now just gets you the Early Adopter discount, but it's the same Spriter Pro you would get if you bought it after the sale.

    The version on Scirra and our site are identical, and you will receive the same support. It's just a matter of convenience for the user which they purchase. Also, if you purchase on Scirra, your serial key will work with the download on our site as well.

    will it be on steam at all? like construct 2

    It's planned, but we can't give an ETA just yet.

  • Quick update. The main bundle (https://www.scirra.com/store/bundles/spriter-bundle-4) now matches the price at BrashMonkey

  • PSI - we have a full plate at the moment with the upcoming 1.0 release, and a few other business related matters, but it's on the todo list.

    —:

    Spriter Pro $59

    Basic Platformer Art Packs $75

    Adventure Platformer Art Packs $75

    Effects Art Packs $40

  • Hello shuryon

    - Buying Spriter do I gain access to any sprite?

    'm not sure I understand this question. When you buy Spriter you get access to Essentials versions of all of our first party Art Packs. The Essentials editions don’t have as much content as the full commercial versions, but have a useful amount of content to make a useful and attractive game prototype quickly, and provide a very strong set of example files to learn from. This page has previews for both the Essentials and full versions of each Art Pack: http://www.brashmonkey.com/animated_art_packs.htm

    Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.

    - Can I use it commercially without the need to mention any party other than myself?

    es

    - Can I use it, with little or a lot of effort, to make animations not just for games but a whole animation, let's say.. 10 minute animation?

    urrently, it does not have features made specifically for creating an entire cartoon, but there aren't any particular technical limitations to stop you from using it to do so. If this is your interest, it could also be used as part of your animation pipeline. This is a student film featuring Spriter animated characters assembled in other software:

    - Is it available for all platforms by default or I need to choose between Windows/Linux/MAC?

    ne license grants you use across all platforms on multiple computers as long as only one person is using the license at a time.

    - What are the dependencies for Linux?

    he following command installs all dependencies not included in the package:

    sudo apt-get install libqt4-webkit libqt4-help phonon[/code:akssl95j]

    - Is it a specific Linux distribution package or distribution independent? And what Linux distribution was used to develop it (just in case something odd happens)?

    t should be distribution independent. We can't test across all Linux platforms, but there have not been reports of Linux issues, aside from dependency issues we've already resolved in past versions. You can also download the free version from http://www.BrashMonkey.com to test it on your Linux distribution. I use the latest version of Ubuntu as my development machine.

    - Works on Windows XP?

    t should, as we do have XP users, however only they are only a very small percentage of our user-base, and we don't currently have an XP system we test on, so it's possible there are some issues that have gone unreported.

    - Has API to permit plug-ins?

    he file format is meant to be human readable, and this should give a basic overview of how implementation works, but it is not up to date with the latest features: http://www.brashmonkey.com/ScmlDocs/ScmlReference.html

    We will be creating much more thorough and completely up to date documentation after we couple of important post 1.0 features developers will want to take advantage of.

    - Does it load images or can I just draw on it?

    urrently, it only loads images created in (any) other software, whether it be a painting, photo-editing, or 3d program that generates the PNG images.

    - What is the maximum pixel dimensions?

    his is largely dependent on your hardware. The free version of Spriter will allow you to push the limits of your PC if need be to test, but there isn't a specific limit.

  • We're looking into getting the main bundle fixed to equal the same price, but in the meantime, we added this bundle (https://www.scirra.com/store/bundles/pl ... bundle-154), which is equivalent to the Platformer Art Pack bundle on our site.

  • Thanks for pointing this out. We will look into fixing it, asap.

  • This does indeed look very good. We will be keeping an eye out, and see what we can do some time after Spriter 1.0's imminent release.

  • May I ask if you have the capx for this? I can't for the life of me figure out how to use animation blend.

    Second animation blend (continually blending two animations depending on the mouse's x position)

    Blend when setting animation (blend to animation lasting 500 milliseconds upon left or right click)
