After months of development, testing, and valuable feedback, we're proud to share a powerful, flexible tool for creating animated pixel art characters using a modular paper doll system!
Sprite Sheet Export - Export full .png sprite sheets with all directions and animation frames.
TTRPG Token and Frame Export - Export single frames or top-down tokens, perfect for virtual tabletops.
Character Saving System - Save and edit characters for future use.
Custom Color Palettes - Create your own color palettes, adjust HSV, and reuse palettes across different parts.
Real-Time Animation Preview - See how your character looks in Idle, Walk, and Run animations before exporting.
Flexible Layered Customization - Combine skin tones, hair styles, clothing, accessories, and more to create unique characters.
Use Anywhere - Unity and Godot, GameMaker, Tabletop RPGs, and Personal avatars or creative projects
We’ll be actively updating the tool and have a lot in store, including:
Custom Asset Imports - Upload and use your own pixel art in the creator (by end of 2025)
New Animations - Including jump, tool use, farming, and battle poses
Memao RPG Maker Plugin - Seamless export and setup for MZ and MV
New Clothing Sets - Fantasy, modern, magical girl, cozy styles, and more
Enemy Creator - Create enemies for your games!
We’re running a limited-time event:
Submit a screenshot of your character to our Itch.io discussion board. Winners will be featured as NPCs in our upcoming cozy game.
Thank you for being part of the journey!
