It would be great if you once made a more "advanced" version of this with more user control (color palettes, detail levels, random mutations of a single sprite, that "mass-export" option suggested by GeminiDark...)
This has a lot of potential. u could collaborate with Donitz (creator of procedural tileset generator) and make the ultimate pixel art generator tool and sell it for like 50 bazillion dollars
Also I love the random generated names that I've gotten (like 'salt', 'salty salt', 'cabbage' or 'fermented dave')
Thank you, glad you like it! This project can definitely do with some updates still, those are all good suggestions. I'll have to find some time for that. And yeah, the names can get really creative sometimes haha.
Would it be possible to add a mass-export option? Honestly every single one I see is great, so it'd be nice to export a set number of generated sprites with a specific size in the settings all at once, instead of needing to export each individual one.
Yeah that would be possible, but I also want to keep this program somewhat simple. So I'm not sure if I want to add that. If you really want to automatically export a lot of them you could maybe set up a macro.
Totally understandable. If I can ask another question, is there a way to export the moving version as a gif? Since they move in the generator but are a single piece when exported, is there a simple way to recreate the effect? Some of the pngs have the pieces overlap at points, and I really like the effect of the movement. Thank you for making this tool, btw. It's really cool.
Ah there is no option for that right now. I could make it a gif export but I could also make it so there is an option to export each piece of the sprite as it's own image. That way you can animate it yourself in whatever way you want. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what I can do. And glad you like it!
The very first thing this created for me was "Titanium Dave" (pictured below) and I'm already hugely impressed.
I think it would be neat to see a game jam using these sprites for every single character. Obviously the scenery etc. would still have to be made with something else, but maybe there's a similar tool out there for that? I know you say this is mostly just a starting point but I think it would be a fun limitation to work with.
Haha yeah a game jam like that could be interesting. I think there are quite a few sprite generators out there, so maybe a game with that could be possible. A bit too limiting for me, but maybe someone else wants to try that.
hey i found this generation tool very cool and was wondering if i could make a small game with them i wouldn't exactly be taking them and sticking them in a game im gonna be doing some 3d things to it but was wondering if i could use them for such
while it tends to create some.... *questionable* things at times (that's just how symmetry be tbf), it's absolutely incredible. Having colors get generated also helps with being able to visualize what the thing itself may actually be too!
Haha, thanks glad you like it! Yeah some kind of evolution of a sprite would be interesting. With the way I currently do the randomness it isn't really possible but it could be done with some changes.

Hi there, thank you for the amazing work you do. I used some of it on my own game and I plan on using it even more in the future. <3
Thanks for the idea!
Looks good! Did you draw that one yourself?
Of course, the prototype was sprite from the generator :)
de thing is a chaotic MAMA

Great stuff. The symmetry option is very useful.

I like the fact that this is clearly a mouse

OMG ALL THE STUFF YOU MAKE IS EXACTLY WHAT I LOVE MOST!
You are like, the best creator on itch in my opinion.
Haha thank you! I appreciate it!

Great tool! It would be awesome if there was a feature to import a color pallete, but either way this is so cool
Glad you enjoy, this project is more just meant as a fun simple tool, so probably won't add that. But good suggestion though!
This is a cool generator! The sprites that I see remind me of pelvic bones of different creatures, which is interesting
Yeah I think the shapes are vague enough to see a lot of different things in them, and the symmetry helps with that. Glad you like it!

Titanium Dave looking pretty good.

Yes absolutely, feel free to use them in whatever project. If you make something with it I would love to see it!
thanks my mans
while it tends to create some.... *questionable* things at times (that's just how symmetry be tbf), it's absolutely incredible. Having colors get generated also helps with being able to visualize what the thing itself may actually be too!
Haha yeah some results are kinda weird, maybe a bit like a rorschach test. I'm also quite happy with how the colors turned out. Hope you liked it!
Its very good. thats just it. this guy is a master of these things.
although, i wonder what if...
The generator "evolve" from the past image? like, does the user download the past image, how long the user spends time with it, etc...
Haha, thanks glad you like it! Yeah some kind of evolution of a sprite would be interesting. With the way I currently do the randomness it isn't really possible but it could be done with some changes.
