I just happend to stumble upon this. I am designing bitmap sprite sheets. After reading this blog I understand a little more about the benefits of using vectors for the design. So I will try some Designer designs and try to get them moving...

Neither of these links goes anywhere for me...and what is a bitmap sprite sheet please?

A sprite is an art "element" used in the game industry.

 

Typically for animating, a series of sprites in different poses when seen one after another for instance can create a run cycle for a character... a bitmap sprite sheet is just a collection of bitmap sprites versus vector sprites all lined up... at least this is my understanding.

As Jmac said, the links don't work. I just fall back to this page.

That's the blog: https://bigbadspanish.com/blog

 

edit: And that's probably the specific blog entry he wanted to share: https://bigbadspanish.com/blog/Sprite-sheets-games-Affinity-Designer

I like them. They are certainly full of character. It will be nice when the game comes into place.

Have you tried to see the graphicriver.net and mobilegamegraphics.com they have a lot of game spritesheet that you can get some guidance.
