Asset pack · Sprites
Ironwood
Martial arts weapons from twelve traditions, every one credited to where it comes from. Bo, sai, nunchaku, tonfa, kama, katana, naginata, dao, jian, guandao, nine section whip, baston, kalis, karambit, woldo, dangpa, talwar, katar, urumi, krabi and more, with enchanted variants, a practitioner to hold them and a dojo to stand in.
Every weapon ships twice, pointing right at true length for use in hand and on the diagonal in a square cell for inventory. Both come from one description of the weapon rather than being drawn twice, so they cannot disagree with each other.
The manifest gives each weapon a grip point and a tip point in pixels, and each figure pose a hand point the same way. Putting a weapon in a hand is one subtraction. 75 weapons into 8 poses is 600 combinations with nothing measured by eye, and the pack ships 16 worked examples so the sum is demonstrated rather than merely described.
