Arcane Curiosities Vol.1
Twelve animated pixel-art props for top-down fantasy games: a treasure chest and a mimic in four facings, a bubbling cauldron, a brazier, an hourglass, an orrery and more. One 32-colour palette, sprite sheets with frame JSON, Godot 4 scenes and an AI-agent SKILL.md.
All 12 props · 52 animations
Every prop below is shown at its real frame rate. Sprites are drawn in top-down 3/4 view (key light top-left) at 32–64 px, with one 32-colour palette shared by every Arcane Curiosities volume, so props from different volumes sit together in one scene.
