8-Directional Character Template
A basic character template for a top-down/twin-stick shooter ala Nuclear Throne, or any game where movement direction is independent from facing direction. Originally for a project that has been somewhat sidelined. No arms because normally arms/guns are handled separately in that kind of game.
Includes a sheet for idle, running, and strafing animations. Some of the strafing animations are a bit janky but still serviceable. Each animation is 8 frames long, frames are 32x32 in size. The strafing animations in the sheet are for rightward movement relative to the facing direction, so simply reverse the animations to get leftward movement.
Would love to see what people can do with this, if you modify or add to it, or use it in a game, please let me know!

love the simplistic art!! i can create my own 2D character now! thankyouuuu!
Hi, just wanted to say first of all thank you for this template. Anatomy and figuring out just so the different movements just "feel" right can sometimes be a painstaker.
Since you made this first free template - and i was able to use it - i wanted to give this runsheet with arms included. Hope its ok. I will use this as a base in an upcoming game. Hope you are ok and best.
