Tiny RPG - Hero Printer
A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Disclaimer: This is more a request than an imposition, so please, do not use the generated characters for any crypto-shenanigans or to feed LLMs. Thank you so much.
Is your RPG project in dire need of literal billions of colourful characters and you have nor the time or skill to make them? Fear not, the Hero Printer is here to help!
In the Hero Printer one will find all that is necessary to build a plethora of RPG characters, from head to toes:
- 48x48 walking sprites;
- 7 base charset bodies to build upon;
- 4 directional animations;
- 6 frames loop version and 3 frames back and forth version;
- 3 frames version compatible with RPGMaker;
- 64x64 faceset sprites;
- 14 base faceset bodies to build upon;
- Helmets, hats, crowns, capes, backpacks, shields, armour, tails, wings and much more;
- Literal billions of possible combinations;

*While most of the heavy lifting is done through the tool, some editing might come in hand to truly perfect the design and make a few tiny adjustments. Plus, being able to edit the generated image will grant far more flexibility.
This tool will see quite a few updates, always catching up with both the Char and Face Workshops, from new body types and clothing items to final fantasy-esque little animations, such as crouching, laughing, waving and so on. Here is how the current roadmap looks like:
- Re-skinning the GUI;
- Fix the maximizing;
- Optimize code for scalability;
- Add the option of reading local files;
- Add new eyes/mouths for both Catfolk and Werewolves;
- Add new shapes - Strong;
- Add new shapes - Fat;
- Add new shapes - Elder;
- Add new shapes - Child;
Don't forget to rate this asset pack, it keeps morale high and makes sure that more packs will come sooner than later.

Hello, sorry to bother you this way! You generously submitted for the Canadian Wildfires Fundraiser, and we're in the process of getting the bundle approved. Will you please check the community section of the jam to find the bundle approval link + further information from our lead organizer? Thank you so much! https://itch.io/jam/canadian-wildfires-fundraiser/community
Does the character printer include the face & character workshop assets/capabilities? I only ask because the description seems similar to those tools and I'd like to confirm if all three are required or if they are supplemental
They are supplemental right now - you can use the Printer without the other two and same goes for the other two.
The assets for both workshops are included in the Printer but as Godot’s resource files, not as raw PNGs. Once I figure out a good way to have the Printer reading stuff on the fly both Workshops will become obsolete - since you will have access to all its content straight from the Printer. There is also the plus that with reading stuff on the fly you will also be able to add your own files to the Printer, making it even more flexible.
Oh yeah, forgot one thing: Once both workshops become obsolete I will be issuing very special discounts for people who bought those as a way to compensate and show appreciation for the early support!
Thanks for the reply! I'll be picking up this weekend, they're the perfect look for my cozy RPG!
That is great to hear! This provides me with a lot of motivation to keep investing time on this kind of content.
Oh yeah, if you want to drop a link for your game, I will add it to a list of games using my assets and slap it on my page so you can get some traction as well! :)
Will do! It's ffairly ambitious, so in early stages now
Includes attack animations?
Not for now, just 2 four direction animation and the faceset!
it would be nice :)
It might take a long time before I can add that as a feature, sadly :( as the solo dev/artist there is so much to get done.
No worries, u are doing a great job :)
Thank you so much!
Is it possible to add our own graphics to this?
It will be once I clean up the code and make sure that external paths are being built properly. Then I will provide a very simple documentation regarding folder paths and name conventions in order for custom graphics to work properly! :) I plan to get that up in running on the next week, hopefully.
Edit: In other words, not only external files will be accepted as the end user, by buying this tool, will also have access to all the contents of both the Char and Face Workshops combined. I believe this tool is at its best when you can do fine editing once the sprite is out and those two packs are key for that.
muito bom! sou brasileiro como você, infelizmente vou pegar mais pra frente pois o dólar é muito pesado pra mim! mas ótimo trabalho, perfeito!
Valeu demais!
Queria que desse pra configurar o preço regional, como no Steam :( mas ó, tem bastante chance que saia no Steam também, aí com o preço adaptado pra nossa realidade :D se sair, vai vir em pacotes de DLC do RPGMaker, lá pra Setembro, maaaaais ou menos.
This is amazing =0
Thanks a mil, brother <3
