Sprites download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MMA7EO9U
*I do not own the sprites or the character (nor do I take credit for them, only the video).

I don't see this as a tutorial really but it shows how I animate walking sprites and it is done correctly. I've seen many people complain about how they can't get their sprites to "stop" animating if they have let a button go in Game Maker so maybe my next video will be about game maker and using proper image changing when a button is released and what not.

I sped the video up (that's why I'm not calling it a tutorial). After I am done animating it in paint (yes I used MS Paint) I import all of the sprite images into a folder and then into Game Maker. Hopefully you will be able to see what I am doing during the video and if not, watch in full screen please!

  • You can simple got it from the strip in game maker. there is an option for create from strip or ad from strip.

  • @croseer In Game Maker, sprites must be centered. If some sprites are not within the sound "boundaries" of the box, then your animation won't be or look perfect. That's why I never use that feature.

  • @xXxZeffaxXx Oh. So why not edit each image so that its in the middle? its way fuckin faster than this way

  • @BlackHawkRob So I know it's exactly the way I want it to be. I've been animating and editing sprites for years this way. You stick to the way you edit and I'll stick to the way I edit.

  • can you uploud the animstion? the picture^

  • @erkQuy Yhea, I'll actually have to reanimate it since I don't think I saved any of these files after I made the video. I'll send you a message when I have uploaded it though. If just want the whole sprite sheet, let me know.

see all
