Hero Creator
Side-view platformer heroes
The Hero Creator makes side-view heroes for platformers, metroidvanias and action RPGs. It mixes 192 layers on a 48x48 hero: bodies, hair, faces, armour, helmets, capes and six weapons, each weapon with its own attack.
Start from one of 16 ready-made heroes or build your own, watch all 13 animations, then export the sheets for your engine.
