Can I Import Hand-Drawn Graphics?

Hey guys,

I'm just getting started using Unity, and I had what I think is a decent idea for an old-school style beat 'em up game.

This is the first time in YEARS I'm playing around with game engines, so it has to be said: I've no clue what in the hell I'm doing. So, I'm going to get started working on the 2D tutorial.

But in the meantime, I had the idea to use hand-drawn graphics for my little idea. Is it possible to use those as assets?

 

Of course. hand drawn graphics are just pixel graphics like any other textrure or sprite. You just need to import them as UI/sprites if you wish to use them for 2D animations or GUIs. make sure they have an alpha channel.
You can either use single images or better yet - spritesheets.

Have a look through these videos on 2D related beginner topics: http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/2d-game-creation

then ask if you have specific questions.

 

Thanks a lot for the advice!
