Kana - Free to Use Sprite

A free to use asset for use in Visual Novels, RPGmaker games, etc.
If any problems arise from use of this asset, I will change the rules as necessary. All sprites are PNG format.
These sprites are rather large in size so that they can fit into a most backgrounds.Sizing down in your game program or in an art program is recommended to fit the size of your project.
This pack, will have the outfits released one by one. The cat set will come later as well.

Can I use this in 18+ content?
Yes! Just please make sure that it doesn't positively promote things like pedophilia.
Can I use this in a game jam or contest?
Yes! You have permission to use this in game jams or contests but it cannot be entered as a single piece (For example (but not limited to), you cannot enter any of the sprite into a character art contest because it is not yours.)
Can I use this commercially?
For games, yes! It must still follow the rule that it cannot be sold alone. So it cannot be sold as an add-on for a visual novel engine for example. In short, if you make a game that uses it as a sprite but the user does not have to buy the sprite specifically to see it, that is fine!
By using the sprites commercially in your game, you are agreeing to let me know where the credit to my name is located if I ask.
Does tipping/donating mean I get to use it without credit?
No! Giving credit to me is a very small act that I'm asking for from a large amount of work that I offer for free. Tips help me know that people like my work and go towards furthering my craft. Credit will ALWAYS be required.
Can I use this for an NFT?
Absolutely not. DO NOT USE FOR/IN NFTS!!! It completely goes against several of my rules and my copyright is not abandoned.
Can I use this for merchandise/a piece of art I'm selling?
In short, no.
Contact me on Twitter DMs (@noranekogames) to negotiate, but it will not be free to use for things like this.
Can I use this for my school project?
If it is not being used commercially! Please make sure it follows everything mentioned above, though. It can't be the only thing your project consists of, for example, and I still require credit somewhere.
Can I use this for a visual novel engine?
As long as it follows the rules in the Rules for Games section.
Are you making more outfits/CGs?
Very slowly but I am working on them!
Can I modify the image?
It must still follow the rules even if the image is changed, but you can modify it! Changing the colors, drawing over it in a new style, adding characters, etc is absolutely fine.
Can I use it on twitter?
Please find a way to credit me if you do! Tag me @NoranekoGames and I will usually retweet it so you can get more exposure.
Can I change the name?
Absolutely! Please feel free! My character sprites have names so that I can keep easier track of them for organization purposes. A lot of people who aren't great at thinking up names choose to keep the name, so feel free to do that as well!
Can I reupload this somewhere else?
As long as it is directly accompanied by credit to me and a link back to this page (not a direct link to the download.) It must be mentioned with the reupload that without following the rules posted on this page, it may be DMCA'd.
A free to use asset for use in Visual Novels, RPGmaker games, etc games.
If any problems arise from use of this asset set, I will change the rules as necessary. Some of the character assets are 4k resolution, so please be careful of its size.
Please remember that donations are like tips. They are amazing and always welcome but not required. Donating does not entitle you to use this asset without following the rules, especially when it comes to crediting me in your project.

Hey this is a silly question to ask, but I know some people are sensitive about their characters so I thought I'd ask, I can change the names right?
Absolutely! Please feel free to do so!
I usually have it up on the page saying it's okay but I think I somehow missed putting it on any of my character pages recently. I'll edit character pages to show this information for future reference so thank you for asking me!
Thank you so much for your comment. Good luck on your project!

I'm not at all complaining but is Miki the only sprite that has multiple poses?
Although I have plans in the future, especially for the original Yume Series girls in both styles, right now Miki is indeed the only sprite on my Itch page that has multiple poses. If you look for Noraneko-Games on deviantart, there are some different poses for the older versions of my Yume Series characters, but the art for them is old and the poses only differ when given a new outfit.
I'll try to fast track new poses after I'm done with my current project, so let me know if there are certain characters you'd like to see more poses specifically for!
Well, I'd like for Sora and Sumi to have more poses as those are the ones I'm planning on using. Thanks!
Also, your rules say it’s ok to modify the images. It would be nice if you could upload the individual sprite layers to make that easier. I created a “taunts expression today and it took a while because I had to match the eyebrow color and erase the old ones completely.
Are you using their newstyle versions?
I'll see what I can do in the future about uploading some PSDs in the future!
I'm using a mix of newstyle and yume style so that I can have them in multiple outfits. I'm predominately using their newstyle versions though so new poses for that would help the most.
Again, thanks for being so accommodating! The game I'm making won't be big but I'll still make sure to thank you duly.
Thanks, i will use it for my games, i will credit you in my game, my name is Jayzen .. Thanks Noraneko Game for such an amazing work
Sorry for the late reply but thank you so much, Jayzen! I wish you the best of luck with your games and hope to see your work out there in the future!
Well done on the nice asset!
Thank you so much!!
