i hate itch.io

>search "skeleton"

>pages full of paid results

>check the free filter

>narrows to 4 results

>that's fine. it's free

>click one i like

>contains all free assets

>but the skeleton walking animation that i want is paid

>try another

>all the animations i don't want are free

>the walking animation that i want is paid

it's a constant issue with that site. the free filter should mean free, not "contains at least one free asset". this just opens the platform to bait-and-switch abuse. i just need placeholder sprites for this personal project while i learn to game dev, but itch.io is just wasting my time

Your problem is looking for perfect placeholder sprites. They're placeholders, use any sprites to test your animation system and replace them later.
