Hi,
I am using a ot of LPC characters for my game Ovaloord and was in need of shadows.
Here are my shadows.
- Shadow is very corse to fit any character
- Weapons are not (and should not be) included to keep it generic
- All basic animations (cast, walk, slash, thrust, hurt) are included
- Might add oversize shadows later
For the previews I used the LPC char generator:

.. and the basic LPC tileset:

Enjoy!

Incredible quality congratulations.
What took so long for this? Great contribution to the set!
Haha.. I was wondering the same thing.. Thanks!
This is great! Such a great addition, as of now I always used just a circle as a shadow for LPC characters, but this is just so much better.
I will add it to the LPC generator (the one you also mention in the post, I maintain it), are you ok with that?
I will create a checkbox so you can choose whether to export the sheet with or without shadow. I think it is very handy and efficient to export the sheet with shadows. In my game Herodom I can have about 500 characters on the screen at once. with the shadow on a separate node, this will mean 500 extra nodes to be drawn. Being part of the original sheet, this will reduce the draw count.
Thanks again!
EDIT: I added the shadow as a possible layer to the generator: https://sanderfrenken.github.io/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Gene...
Hi, just started adding it to the generator, and I came across the children bodies. I had a bug in the generator, but now I fix it and I see we can draw walking children as well. But the shadow is a bit big for it.
Do you by any chance have a quick way to also create shadows for the children, which are only walk animation? These are the bodies I refer to: https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-children-walk-animation
Sorry for asking, don't want to be bothering you but just in case you have a quick way to make them, it would be awesome.
Hi There,
I was hoping you would add it to the generator, for the reasons you mentioned: drawcount, etc
I can have a look into the children shadows, too.. I have no use personally but this is what this community is about in the first place.. ;)
Best Regards,

awesome you added the child shadows! Thanks a lot:) Shadows are now completely supported by the generator, including the new child shadow and drawing for oversized animations.
