Ten of the Pyre sprites on a dark ground: blue, green and purple flames, an explosion and a fireball along the top, and burning ground, a campfire, a tall bonfire, a brazier and a torch standing along the bottom.

01: What it is

All seventeen Pyre sprites animating at once in a grid: fires flickering, smoke and steam rising, a fireball travelling, a wisp bobbing and an explosion bursting. — All seventeen, running

Every looping type runs its last frame straight back into its first, so you can set it going and leave it. Most fire packs have a visible hitch where the animation restarts. These don't. The explosion is the exception, and is meant to play once.

The ten Pyre props, each with a flame burning in it: four iron fire bowls lit orange, blue, green and purple, a tripod brazier, a torch post, a brick forge hearth, a candlestick, and two rings of logs and stones. — Ten props to burn them in

Every prop is split into the layers it needs, most of them a back and a front. Draw the back, then the flame, then the front, and the fire sits down inside the bowl instead of standing on its rim. Each prop carries a seat and each flame a foot, so putting one in the other is a single subtraction.

Types: 17, from a 12×20 candle up to a 48×48 bonfire, with a 64×32 flamethrower jet the widest
Frames: 286 in total, 12 to 24 per type
Props: 10: a fire bowl in four colours, a tripod brazier, a torch post, a brick forge hearth, a candlestick and two rings of logs. Each at 1x, 2x and 4x, whole and split into the layers it needs. Most have a back and a front; the candlestick has only a back, and the two rings of logs only a front
Sheets: One strip per type at 1x, 2x and 4x. The upscales are nearest neighbour, so they stay crisp
Separate frames: Every frame again as its own PNG, for engines that prefer them
Data: Aseprite format JSON, so Godot and Unity pick up sizes and timing on their own
Palette: A locked ramp of no more than seven colours per type, never blended into an eighth, so it stays true pixel art. Most types use all seven; the green flame and the embers use six. The whole set of 49, seven ramps of seven, ships in the pack as a .gpl for Aseprite, GIMP and Krita, a .hex for Lospec, and a swatch sheet. Every ramp runs brightest core to darkest edge in the same order, so swapping one for another recolours a flame without redrawing it
Background: Transparent throughout. Smoke, steam and embers are built on partial alpha so they sit over a scene. The flames are opaque where they are lit, bar a thin fringe at the edge of a tongue
Viewer: The pack opens with a catalogue that plays every sprite offline, steps through any loop a frame at a time, and shows each prop with its flame burning in it
Licence: Use in commercial and non commercial projects, no credit required. The art itself isn't for reselling
