Hey Richard, if you mean being able to edit or make your models or animations, I do have plans to make a modelling and an animation editor in the future. I hope to get funding for it, since it's going to be a big undertaking but would be well worth it, but if funding doesn't go through and I find a chunk of time I'll just go forward with it. I took down pixavoxet as I wasn't happy with its implementation, it was buggy and slow due to how it was being rendered and used voxels that aren't compatible with what I'm trying to achieve with PxBoy in terms of scaleable geometry.

Hi all! Artist at Nuke Nine Inc, the company behind the roguelike Vagante.
I started building an asset pack that hopes to cover all the bases for folks getting started on a new top-down or side-scroller game. I personally have found these helpful for prototyping my own project, where you are in the phase where you are not quite sure what your game is going to be. Can imagine this being helpful for artists that struggle nailing top-down perspectives (me). They are pre-renders with a custom a pixel art shader applied, as such there are stray pixels, and what I'm just going to call pixel blinks :P
Hope this becomes a valued resource for anyone. I want to provide long-term support so feel free to leave any comments here on my page, and I'll try to fill any requests that feel reasonable. At some point I'd like to package a utility with this project, so folks can render their own characters with different accessories, but that's a long ways off.
Thanks for reading + taking a look :)

First off thanks for the work you two have been doing on this, this is amazing, and makes my work infinitely easier!
One minor thing I'd add is designating an end frame, say I want to have an emitter start after a certain emitter has stopped, for example an explosing followed by a smoke trail.
The bigger ask is working in a timeline somehow, so you are able to key in certain values, and lerp between the keys. I'm imagining this would be quite an overhaul, though maybe there are similar simpler solutions to what I'm imagining.
I'm imagining little key buttons next to each property, that'd add the key to the timeline. Perhaps the timeline has a track for each property, or the user can add a track for the properties that they need. Like photoshop's timeline, you can have emitters take up a certain amount of frames, every frame meaning they are emitting particles. Underneath that are the properties, with their respective keys.
