BareByte - A Growing 8-Directional Pixel Animation Pack for Survival Games

Ever tried drawing over 480 frames… just to scrap them and start fresh?

I did. And I promised: if it’s not good enough for my survival game, I won’t sell it to yours.

So here’s BareByte: a modular, 8-directional animation pack built for top-down survival games, handcrafted as I build my own. Every animation you see was made with game-readiness in mind, not placeholders, not prototypes.

What’s Inside (So Far):

  • Idle (New): 168 frames (8 directions x 21)

  • Walk (New): 96 frames (8x12)

  • Sneak Walk: 168 frames (8x21)

  • Jump from Idle: 96 frames (8x12)

  • Walk-Jump: 56 frames (8x7)

  • Run: 72 frames (8x9)

  • Jump from Run: 96 frames (8x12)

  • Pickup (Medium Object): 144 frames (8x18)

 Bonus: Original animations preserved as legacy content.
Modular base + ready for overlays (gear, grime, clothing)

 Why It's Different:

  • Built for fluidity across transitions (I’m now working on transition animations too)

  • No placeholder loops, everything is directional, modular, and game-ready

  • Files come organized with sprite sheets, separate directions, transparent PNGs, and GIF previews

Almost Passed 1,000+ Frames Milestone

Proud to share a visual milestone as well here’s the progress so far:


if you want more of a lecture here are the devlogs so far:

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or ideas, this pack will keep growing as the game does.
If you're building a survival game and want fluid, grounded animations that evolve with the devlog… this one's for you.

Thanks for reading!
