Hi, I'm excited to potentially use these in an actual NES games; do the NES-palette versions honor NES hardware limitations in any way? (limited number of colors used at a time based on the NES's sprite and background palettes)
Good question. The backgrounds are from other creators. The preview images actually use RPg Maker MV RTP backgrounds that were "pixel-ized" using a program called "pixatool" which is available on itch. there are a handful of background creators out there (I love Tokiwa Graphics backgrounds) and if you use consistent palette and pixel-ization rate it matches really well. I should probably build a little tutorial...
I would be very much interested in such tutorial! Also, I see Tokiwa's are only for RPG Maker so would you recommend someone else's? Thanks for your time!
Ah, yes they are RM only. depending what you're looking for you can modify any battlebacks basically the same way. I've used some of Joel's backgrounds in different projects as well https://joelsteudler.itch.io/overworld-battlebacks Looking through the RM storefront battlebacks is definitely a thin offering and some are RM only. Maybe I need to make some of my own :)
Tyler, hope all is well. I recently purchased ALL the pixel battlers, as well as some other sets. I was wondering if there was a way to acquire the faces for these monsters (Using a HUD which requires them) without buying all the rest of the individual packs. I bought your time fantasy ones and they are great by the way! If Patreons have access to this, I will gladly subscribe. (Edit: I decided to purchase the missing sets, it seemed there weren't that many I was missing, they were all on sale, and I want to support my artist!)
Celestrium, thanks so much for the support! You make a great point about facesets. When I originally built the pixel-style packs I was thinking of them as a catch up for those who already had the original base packs, not realizing some might skip those and grab the pixel ones only. Since then, I began incorporating the "pixel-style" into the base packs themselves, so that people would have every option in a single pack purchase going forward (7th 50 and 8th 50 are built this way). It will take quite a bit of work to make "pixel-style" matching facesets for the pixel-style packs, but I'm adding it to my to-do list, because you're right that is missing.
Another question... think you would ever do pixel style items? I need potions, treasure chests, various magic items, armors, stuff like that. I'd buy it.

That's actually a really good idea, but I did not think of that when I was creating them. They simply match the available NES palette.
Hello, are the battle backgrounds included? If not, anything you'd recommend to fit these battlers?

I was hoping for some quick clarification--I think I read on the RPG site that these also came in side view, is that right?
Some are side view and some are front view. Some could be used either way. Hope that helps.
It does. Thank you for responding so swiftly!
are there orcs, bandits, ogres and goblins?
Am I allowed to recolor sprites I bought so they suit my game better?
Yes, that's fine!

Great idea, and already something on my to-do list
Glad to see you took the requests to heart <3
