Why I created SPACECRAFT MAKER: The ultimate tool for your Shmups and prototypes!

Hello to all game creators and Pixel Art enthusiasts!

If you have already tried to create a space game, you know this moment: you have the code, you have the idea, but you are missing “the” ship. The one that looks great, that is symmetrical, and that fits perfectly into your 64x64 grid.

Drawing a ship manually takes time. Drawing 50 of them to vary enemies takes an eternity. It is to solve this exact problem that I spent the last few months developing SPACECRAFT MAKER.



Much more than a simple random generator

Many generators give you weird and unusable shapes. In SPACECRAFT MAKER, I wanted to give total control to the creator:

The Layer System (Layers): It is the heart of the tool. You can move each piece above or below the others, pixel by pixel. This is what allows you to give depth to your creations.

Color Harmony: Nothing is worse than a ship with garish colors. The tool integrates a palette manager so that your fleets are visually coherent.

Mirror Effect:  Mirror mode allows you to create complex structures in one click.

Time-saving for Game Jams

Imagine: you are participating in a 48h Game Jam. You need 10 different types of enemies. With SPACECRAFT MAKER, you generate your assets, adjust them, and export them as transparent PNG in less than 10 minutes. That is time saved for your gameplay!

Your turn!

I designed this tool as a “creative workshop”. Whether you are a professional developer looking to prototype or a pixel art amateur, I can’t wait to see what you will build.

What you get: 

✅ 64x64 PNG export (transparent background)
✅ Commercial use allowed (your ships belong to you!)
✅ A smooth and fast workflow

Feel free to post your creations in the comments below! Your feedback helps me improve the tool every day.
