What is inside

Hunters and the hunted, drawn to walk.

Every vampire legend has two sides, so this pack gives you both: four hunters with the tools of their trade and four creatures from Romanian, Slavic and Chinese folklore.

The hunters are a dhampir with a silver longsword, a scholar with a stake kit, garlic and crucifix, a priestess with a vial of holy water and a slayer with a crossbow and bolt case. The vampires are a strigoi noble in a moon-blue coat, a hunched upir brute, a jiangshi with a paper talisman and a moroi witch with long silver hair.

Every character walks in all eight directions, eight frames each, on a 144 by 144 canvas with the feet on the same row and the body centred on the same column. A whole cast can share one ground position. Holy Light and Blood Magic effects are included for the hunt itself.

From download to scene

Import & placement

The included README provides the pack-specific setup. These are image assets you configure in your engine.

Godot

Copy the Characters folder into your project and set the default texture filter to Nearest. Make an AnimatedSprite2D animation per direction from that direction's 8 PNGs, set the speed to 10 FPS and the node's offset to (0, -39) so the feet sit on the origin.

Unity

Import the PNGs as Sprite (2D and UI) with Filter Mode Point and Compression None. For a walk sheet use Sprite Mode Multiple and slice a 144 by 144 grid. Set a custom pivot of (0.5, 0.2292).

GameMaker

Create a sprite per direction, import its 8 PNGs and set the origin to (72, 111). Set the animation speed to 10 frames per second and turn off colour interpolation in the game options.
