# Nouns Animated Sprite Sheets and Game Asset Builder!


**Tl;dr**

I will create sprite sheet art for every asset of the nouns collection to make them game development, content creation and metaverse integration ready. They will be accessible through a fun and easy to use builder. Ask is 24eth for both the art and the builder.

**Project details:**

I will create game-ready sprite sheets for each asset of the Nouns collection and make them accessible through an easy to use builder.


Builders and game developers will be able to use the sprite sheets for their own proposals/productions which will fast track production and reduce costs for each of those projects.

The creation of Sprite Sheets for an NFT collection is a massive amount of work in terms of art creation and file management. Having the Nouns collection available as sprite sheets will save future content creators and every 2D game project budget and time, not to mention the value of being able to prototype and launch quickly.

To put it into perspective:

In total, the art for approximately 600 Nouns traits animated and/or assembled into sprite sheets (each of which consists of 96 frames), results in drawing approximately 57,600 individual frames.


The Meebits DAO created SpriteSheet assets to integrate Meebits into WorldWideWebb3. The DAO paid $60k for 697 traits and the collection was completed in a total of 10 weeks. See their proposal below.

(https://snapshot.org/#/meebitsdao.eth/proposal/0x7f1eac0510c868a00eae8082e258ea81a98f2dd310ec44bd9babcc752a787a0a)

That's $60k dollars and months of production that each further project will be able to save.

Furthermore, anyone will be able build and animate any Noun they can imagine and export an animations of a them walking and idling in 4 different directions, as well as talking !

My ask is 24 ETH in funding for approximately 6-8 weeks of art and animated sprite sheet production and compensation for a website developer to build, integrate all Nouns assets, test and deploy the final builder website.

Once this first iteration of the builder is complete, I will work in collaboration with Worldwide Webb3 team, with whom I have already worked with before, to have the entire Nouns collection integrated in their metaverse.

Worldwide Webb have 160+ NFT collections integrated (over 1 million NFTs total) with 2 years of playtime across all users and 15k trades in-game. For the recent Halloweeb event there were ~5k new players and 10k unique ones.


I like to think of this Nounish builder website as one of many stepping stones I'd like contribute towards the future of Nounish games. A creative hub where multiple Nouns collections will be accessible (Lil Nouns, Food Nouns, Sound Nouns, Gnars, etc, etc).

I have many things planned for the future of this builder: the ability to add your own traits and having a sprite sheet drawing app baked into the site to make Noun game asset development seamless. Eventually, I'd like to make this site a place where artists can come to draw, host, share, and support Nounish sprite sheet collections.

Sky is the limit with the future functionality of animated Nouns and this proposal represents the first step on the stairway to Nounish Sprite Sheet heaven!

**Deliverables**

- Sprite sheet art for every asset of the nouns collection (424) with new traits (159+) , for walking, idle and jumping animations. That's approximately 76,800 individual frames!
- A website where anyone can easily generate sprite sheets for their games, or preview and download animations for a noun.
- Easy to use features such as a Randomise button, to generate unlimited animated nouns.
- Two view modes on the builder: sprite sheet overview and animation preview.
- Keyboard shortcuts (arrows to move, spacebar to jump) to test animations while in preview mode
- A video introduction to sprite sheets and how to use them in games.
- Immediate work on integrating the Nouns collection into the game Worldwide Webb as soon as the assets are finalized. Worldwide Webb team have been contacted and Nouns integration would be a top priority.

**Why sprite sheets?**

Sprite sheets are used in games to animate the characters on the screen. They’re a collection of single frame animations, laid out like a film strip. The most common animations for sprite sheets are the idle sequence (character moving while standing still) and walking cycles (stylistic walk as the character moves around the map)



This is an example of a pixel art sprite sheet created for Worldwide Web3 integration using a custom Dino Lil Nouns created with a Lil Nouns Sprite Sheet Builder Prototype

I love pixel art, animation and believe in the power of being able to totally embody characters in the metaverse, and the value of being able to socialize and play games as our favorite NFTs… in this case, Nouns!
