Pixel Character Creator 2D for Unity

Did you download these 40 top-down pixel art characters but were you left wanting more? Well, in that case, why not create your own characters?

The Pixel Character Creator 2D is a Unity asset meant to help you create many pixel art characters in a short amount of time. This asset comes with many different character pieces straight out of the box, but you can also create totally different characters with your own pixel art. This asset can handle a lot of mundane tasks for you such as:

• creating folders;
• exporting characters as sprite sheets;
• setting texture import settings;
• cutting the sprite sheet;
• creating animations for every new character;
• creating a prefab for immediate usage in the scene.

An important thing to note is that this asset is solely meant for usage during the production of your game. It isn’t compatible with in-game usage.

Disclaimer

The demo files are meant to be supplementary and aren't the core of the Pixel Character Creator 2D. Systems like the 'Simple Dialogue System', 'Simple NPC System', and the 'Simple Player System' are free additions for the sole purpose of showing the characters that were created with the Pixel Character Creator 2D. For this reason, these additional systems are less polished than the Pixel Character Creator 2D itself. Please keep this in mind during playtesting.
