Documentation, tutorials and asset references for StoryDev Character Generator (SDCG) are now available on our website.

This means you can download our flagship software with the possibility of knowing how to use it! Great stuff!

But that's not it. You can use the character sprites you create in Character Generator at runtime in your own video game, did you not know? Yes, that's right, you can technically do this right now. Head over to our Asset Reference to have a look at what we mean by this.

Sure, there are no readily available libraries to perform much of the heavy-handed work otherwise required to use the data, but we will be working on another tutorial giving you the information you need to get started with this. Of course, bear in mind that Character Generator is written in C#.

With that all said, must you know, SDCG is based on our own free, open source library in TwinspireCS, which you can get over at Codeberg.

This means you have access to the source code for how to read the exact data files SDCG has. You have the right to copy these files into your own projects for portability and runtime features, although we must give you the condition that the files must be packaged as part of a larger project and are not modified or redistributed on its own. This is all included in our License which you agree to when you download our software.

Nevertheless, without the legal jargon, you can use the asset files given this condition is followed.

Just an FYI, if you have not already noticed by the time you reach this portion of this article, we are discussing on our website the possibility of working on a project called TwinspireCS Tools. You can read more about it here.

We want to give lots of opportunities to build software and video games using a complete set of tools irrespective of your chosen language, platform and libraries. And so, Character Generator will give you art you need to generate character sprites far cheaper than any graphics artist can supply you on the market, and TwinspireCS Tools is the beginning of something more, something potentially exciting for more developers, small to large.

We will continue to provide updates along the way. Always keep an eye on this space and on our website for the latest news.
