Dimensions for custom character sprites?

[v_14]

Hi, I've been looking into this software for a while, I'm saving up for it right now. But I want to draw my character sprites early so I have them ready when I get it. Can anybody tell me the dimensions for the sprites? Thank you x-x

Like a general consensus on sprite size? Because other wise the sprite you'll draw can be sized up and down in the program. When I drew my sprites it depended on how big I wanted the resolution of my game to be and then I drew from there.

Pretty much just the general size of the sprites, I'm not too familiar with the engine that much- I apologize for seeming so clueless about it o(╥﹏╥)o

It depends on the resolution you intend on making the game. Personally, I draw large images so that it's easier for me to resize the image without worrying about it becoming too small.

There's no limit on sprite size dimension. This is dependent on the developer instead.
I personally draw stuff at 4000x4000 and resize them based on the game's resolution.

The sprites that ship with VN Maker are 395x1178 - but the engine can take whatever you give it, really. As a for instance, a character I made recently I drew at 3840x2048 resolution with 600 dots per inch - if I were to put it in the game it'd probably be 960x512 @ 200 dpi.

Since you have full control over the game's UI you can pretty much use whatever sprite sizes you like.

Thank you!

I have imported some of the extra assets that shipped in the game(Knight and Lancer from the DLC folder) with the Expressions Importer, however they seemed to be oversized compared to the other default characters. Is there a way I can size them down to match?

Thank you!

Holy cow! You're really making sure everything will stay high quality with those resolutions
