Hi, just wondering, by vague, do you mean the png file is blurry? Also could you post the name of the png file? There are many png files included and after re-downloading them myself I couldn't find any blurry ones yet. I'll be happy to re-update the file for you (and everyone), just not sure which one you mean.
All the pictures are blurred, such as "heavy _ knight _ non-combat _ animations.png (11.7kb)" under the package "Heavy Knight.rar(28.3kb)". You can see my screenshot, the top is the effect of the png display, and the bottom is the picture of the website I intercepted.
Hmmm... interesting. Okay, I want to figure this out. I downloaded the files myself from the website and opened up the same heavy _ knight _ non-combat _ animations.png using just Paint as well as GIMP 2.0, and Asesprite. It still doesn't look blurry on my end. The only time it looks blurry is when any of the pixel art assets are opened in a image viewer program such as "Photos" (that comes installed with Windows) and you zoom in. Those software are unfortunately not designed to display pixel art assets well.
Have you opened up the .png file in Paint or some other image editing program to see if it is still blurry there too?
From how the image looks blurred on your software it looks like it has somehow been scaled up with interpolation enabled, which is obviously not what you want. The pixel scale of the full heavy _ knight _ non-combat _ animations.png sprite-sheet should be 96x744. If it is higher in your software, then is has been scaled somehow. May I ask the name of the software you are using?
Just Some Notes on dealing with Pixel Art Assets (ignore if you know all this already)
There are no high-definition versions of pixel-art unfortunately. Pixel-Art Graphics are generally used at the resolution they are created it. So 1 pixel, is actually 1 pixel. If you do wish to scale it up and have if look good though, it's totally doable, you just need to disable interpolation when doing so (I recommend GIMP, it's free), and ideally scale in powers of 2 (so x2, x4, x8), that way you don't get any wonky pixel shapes. (Sorry if you know all this already, or if this is not related somehow, just want to be as detailed in my response as I can).
Please let me know if the PNG files looks blurry for you in other image editing software's.
Also here is an example of the blurry effect in PHOTOS software when zoomed in. It really doesn't display pixel-art assets correctly. he
Any ideas for other assets ( monsters / daemons etc ) that would fit well your art style ? ( I mean did you create some or do you know some assets on Itch that you think matches well your art ? ) Just asking in case before digging for hours into Itch 😅
I have a few more monsters in the pipeline (a Demon and Vampire).
But the next three in the release schedule is a Natural Caverns Tileset, World Map (overworld) Tileset, Deep Forest Tileset.
As for other assets from other creators, I'm not sure. I use the Pico-8 color palette, so searching for that might be the best way to go if you are looking for assets that match my style.
Hi, great work! I bought your bundle and noticed there is not a separate arrow sprite included in any of the packs. Is it possible you are able to provide one so I can have the characters actually shoot out arrows? There is also no projectile for the goblin slinger in the creatures pack. Thank you very much
Thank you so much! And Yup! So far the development plan for the animated sprites in this Retro RPG Series includes (in order): Animal/Critter Pack, a free Heavy/Dark Knight Update to this Citizens Pack, Monster Pack(which will also include several free updates), followed by several Bosses, one of which will be a Dragon. My Patrons help decide the content! :)
Yup! It will be coming to itch soon! Released the first four critters on Patreon for now (wolf, bear, beatle, snake). Adding a few more (rat, bat, spider), and then bring all over to itch! Sorry for the delay! :)

The downloaded png file is very vague. Please send some high-definition files. I paid for them.

When I load the pictures into the game engine, they are still blurred, which should not be the problem of my software.

Just wondering If i could buy your assets then use them in my game that I will put on steam?
Certainly! And I'd love to hear about it when you do :)
Any ideas for other assets ( monsters / daemons etc ) that would fit well your art style ? ( I mean did you create some or do you know some assets on Itch that you think matches well your art ? ) Just asking in case before digging for hours into Itch 😅

Thanks a lot for the answer, I might have a game idea to use your assets, will keep an eye on what you release :)

Hey, I added some Arrows and Sling bullets types as separate free little download to this pack. Let me know if this is/isn't what you needed.
Yes this is just what I wanted, thank you very much!! - very appreciated :3
Mb 1 knight for free?)
You are missing a Wizard who shoots spells. Could you complete the defenders with one?
Hey, another character pack is in the pipeline actually! And a wizard type is definitely amongst them :)
Is there any update on a wizard type? I'd love to have one!
This is really great artwork. Thanks! It's perfect for what I need.
These are so amazing. Can’t wait to try them out. Looking forward to seeing more!!
Thank you, more on the way!
Bought. You have a gift. Truly.
Thank you, reading words like that really keep me motivated! :)
Instant buy =D So nice ! Any chance to see monsters in a next pack ?

Great, but i'll will follow you there from april ;)
The animal critter pack is out? Is it only on Patreon?
Yup! It will be coming to itch soon! Released the first four critters on Patreon for now (wolf, bear, beatle, snake). Adding a few more (rat, bat, spider), and then bring all over to itch! Sorry for the delay! :)
Ah great. Thank you! And thanks for the reply :)
