Hi,
Ok so basically I am looking for the effect that appears on enemies after they have been sucessfully hit.
Some examples would be:
http://megagames.com/sites/default/files/game-content-images/MapleStory0...
- The red star that appears on the blob indicating that it has been hit

- At the top

- Sword slash
Does this have a specific term or name? And does anyone know if anything like this exists on this website. Thanks
Hi xier,
I would go for "effects" or "FX", but not sure if there is a more official term for it.
Going to the collections and used browser search for "eff" and "fx" gave me:
http://opengameart.org/content/platformer-sidescroller-items-effects-misc
http://opengameart.org/content/isometric-items-effects-misc
http://opengameart.org/content/2d-effects
Hope there is something useful for you.
I have no idea if there is an official term. In my projects I used the term "overlays" for such, and I think in at least one professional game project it's been called "decals".
cool thanks guys
