Hi everyone!

Here’s the 1.3 update of the minimal_8 asset pack! I could call it the “Space Update” since it’s mainly focused on space-related tiles and sprites. I worked on several sci-fi characters and robots, as well as a few tiles representing planets (think of a solar system map). I also added a few monster/enemy sprites.

The more I work on this asset pack, the more I feel that 8x8 is a bit limiting when it comes to detail (no surprise there!). I’m not quite sure which direction to take, but I feel the time to split the asset pack into multiple files/assets is approaching. I could see a minimal_8 pack with all the 8x8 sprites, then complementary packs with enemies, characters, monsters, etc., at a higher resolution.

Then comes the related question of the asset name. Minimal_8 was kind of a placeholder name I chose when I first uploaded it, but I think it lacks identity. I need to find something else, especially if I start creating multiple asset packs that work together. Let me know what you think about all this!

For the upcoming updates, I’m going to try adding some animations for the characters. It’s going to be a bit of work, so it may take some time before release. Stay tuned!

And again, I want to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who donated. You can’t imagine how grateful I am for that :)
