I used the terran sprite (with some modification) in my game here: https://trivialknot.itch.io/moon-garden-optimizer
It's the only purchased asset I used, and it's featured quite prominently. Thank you so much!
Nice work, thanks for sharing!
⚠️⚠️⚠️It has come to my attention that due to a price change if you have previously bought the pack in a bundle you might no longer have access to the full version.
If this is the case, please drop me an email at studio.helianthus@gmail.com and I will sort it out!
I want my assets to bring you joy, not leave a bad taste in your mouth!
I used this pack in my 2D shooter and mentioned you in the credits! Thank you so much <3 — you can check out the game here: https://valgguk.itch.io/alangame
ماذا استطيع ان افعل حتي احصل عليه مجانا لأن بلدي لا يدعم طريقة الدفع هذه سأكون ممتنا علي مساعدتك لي و احسنت صنعا تبدوا رسوماتك رائعة
Thanks but I cannot give it out for free. I am sorry you cannot complete the purchase and enjoy the pack. You can access the free moon offered as a demo for now. Perhaps you can message itch.io support to ask them to add more payment options in the future.
I know this is probably late but you could try to purchase it here, I think they support more payment options: https://www.gamedevmarket.net/asset/animated-pixel-art-planets
But that is a slightly outdated version of the asset pack.
heeuu mais il n'y a que la lune non? je ne le trouve pas le reste pouriez vous m'indiquez comment le télécharger. merci de me répondre
Luna est une démo gratuite, le package complet coûte 7,50 $
wow
Hey quick question, I love your assets, and I have an Idle zen game that I'm building. If I buy this asset, I would like to include this as an ingame skin that you can buy. Is that allowed? ^^ better ask before doing something wrong.
In simple:
Does me buying this asset give me the license, to put this skin as a skin for purchase in my game?
Thanks for the help :)
Yes, you can make it a purchasable item! Share a link to your game here once you do ;)
Thanks for your reply. The game is already out, but my next update is the "final" version, and comes out in a couple of days or weeks. Hope you like idle games :) Yet Another Zen Idle Game - Apps on Google Play
(There are still a couple of bugs that will be fixed with the new update :) )
Hi, what is the license? Can I use for my commercial game?
Yes, you can. Credit is nice but not requred. You can modify the assets, but not use them for NFT or training AI, or resell or distribute the assets themselves.
Can you add optional shadow?
Please elaborate and maybe I can make it happen :>
I wish the planets had a shadow under them.
Thanks for replying!
Maybe I still need a bit more info :) Planets usually do not cast a shadow in space except on other celestial objects, also the planets are already shaded so that their bottom right parts are in shadow if you look closely. If you need them to cast a shadow on some plane below them, maybe just use some dark ellipse?
Thanks! I wanted to do a space game tutorial series for my channel. https://youtube.com/@Xynteract?feature=shared
Sure, go ahead and do share when the videos are up :)
Hello, I used your sprites in my video game. Thank you so much! Starship Invasion by rubsz (itch.io)
Thanks for sharing! It always brings me joy when I see them in use!
Thank you for making it!
Would this pack happen to include the Solar System planets (such as the Sun, Saturn, etc.)? If not, I'd like to kindly suggest considering the addition of these celestial bodies to this asset pack. I'm currently trying to decide between your pack and another creator's pack that includes those planets, and I'm genuinely impressed with the quality of your work. Adding the Solar System planets would make your pack truly outstanding and undoubtedly sway my decision in favor of your offering. Thank you!
Hello, currently there is no Sun. There is a gas giant but without rings. I will try to add them when I get some time but it mihght not be very soon as they are quite time consuming to make.
They look great. I had to go through each planet folder and name the pictures with filenames before 10 like 01.png, 02.png, 03.png, etc. to get them to properly convert to spritesheet's with the tools I found online. That was a bit annoying, but other than that I'm enjoying the little planets!
I am glad you are enjoying them, do share when you make something with them!
i have no money so can at least this or +240 planet pack full be free?
There are free versions.
but there is so few
Lookout for when they are on sale :)
Hi, I love these graphics! Do the animations do a full revolution? It looks like there's a jump where they go back to the first frame, but I can't tell if that's just the gifs. Thanks!
Hello, they do a full revolution! You can download the sample planet to see for yourself and also check them out in the video. The complete animations are not in the gif so people do not rip it easily.
Hey I have purchased $8.00 for the AnimatedPlanetsFull. But why I didnt get the GIF file? It only contains images files of the planets
Hello, GIFs usually have less quality than the original images and most game engines can make animations from the images. Also GIFs can be made from the images in image editing software. Still, drop me another comment if you need me to make the GIFs for you.
Does this pack include the planets in our solar system?
Some of them are close, but they were not made to replicate our solar system exactly.
Already replaced the planets from previous pack with animated ones. Thank you so much!
The OG planets pack was excellent, and these are too! Looking forward to using these.
