Robot Series Packs 1–3: the starter crew, Hostiles and Support

Where the Robot Series starts: a starter crew, the first enemy robots and a team of support machines, animated in all 8 isometric directions.

Robot Series Pack 2: Hostiles cover with three isometric pixel art robots

Three packs, one style

The first three packs set the rules for the whole series: the palette, the light, the 64 px scale and the way every animation is timed.

All packs share the same palette, light, outline and 2:1 isometric scale, so characters from different packs can share one level without looking out of place.

Pack 1

Three sci-fi punk robots to start a world: a small walking explorer, a tracked mining machine and a hovering drone. Every robot has 5 animations (idle, movement, attack or action, hit and death) in all 8 directions: 1,008 frames in total. Free sample: Scout-Bot, with idle and movement in 8 directions.

What is in every download

Each robot comes as an Aseprite source with one tag per animation and direction, sprite sheets per animation with and without shadow, every frame as a single PNG, and a JSON file with frame counts, per-frame timings, loop flags and the pivot point. Import notes for Godot 4 and Unity are included, and the sheets work in any engine that reads sprite sheets.

All 36 characters are also in the Robot Series bundle, about 40% cheaper than buying the packs one by one: itch.io/s/204631
