Build 08 · After the Heroes

An animated pixel art short in one Aseprite file

The heroes came through last night. Now the skeleton janitor has to clean up the goo, the arrows, the coins and a very hungry mimic. Every sprite was drawn new for this short.

A dungeon hall the morning after: a skull banner, a treasure chest, green goo, arrows and coins on the floor.

A vaulted dungeon room with torches, a red banner, a dais and the mess left by heroes. Real export, 480×270.

What makes it work

Inside the file

  • Cleaning is literally a layer emptying out: the Mess layer holds everything the heroes left.
  • Light is layers too: a multiply Shade layer, Lights, and an additive Glow.
  • Everything that moves lives on tilemap layers, so a 512-frame file stays small.
