Vampires – Top-Down 8-Direction Character Sprites (HD)

Three HD vampires for top-down games, in one pack. The Vampire Noble, a vampire knight in dark plate armour with a crimson-lined cape and a longsword; the Vampire Bride, a pale vampire in a black and crimson gown with long clawed nails, gliding rather than walking; and the Vampire Thrall, a starved, barefoot servant with long claws and a feral stance. Every animation in all 8 directions, 707×399, 621×370 and 664×347 px frames (plus 128 px copies).

Colour variations

12 colour variations: Vampire Bride in Royal Blue, Emerald, Violet and Amber; Vampire Noble in Royal Blue, Emerald, Violet and Black Cape; Vampire Thrall in Blue Sash, Green Sash, Violet Sash and Black Sash. Every animation in all 8 directions, the same sheets and Godot 4 SpriteFrames, plus recolour masks and a small Godot 4 shader for your own colours (optional ColourVariations folder).

Five for the noble, six for the bride and five for the thrall, each in all 8 directions, aimed where the vampire faces.

Quick import

1. Godot 4: copy a character folder into your project and assign its SpriteFrames to an AnimatedSprite2D.
2. Other engines: slice the PNG sheets using the cell size, row order (S, SE, E, NE, N, NW, W, SW) and FPS from the JSON.
3. Keep the supplied feet pivot so the vampires stand on the ground in every direction.
