A LITTLE GUIDANCE

From idea
to little asset.

1. Choose your starting point

Build with any of the 36 original props, or open your own PNG, JPG or WebP. “Add as a new layer” keeps the previous object; leaving it off replaces the selected layer. You can combine up to 12 layers.

2. Give it your own look

Choose a palette and change its body, accent and detail colors. Match the palette across all template props. Imported images keep their own colors. Move, scale, rotate and flip layers. Use the horizontal and vertical controls for precise keyboard positioning, or drag the selected layer on the preview.

Imported images are normalized to a PNG of at most 512 pixels per side, keeping their proportions. Pixelation deliberately reduces detail. Flat-color removal erases matching colors everywhere; review your subject carefully. This is not AI background removal or intelligent redrawing.

3. Export and try it in your game

PNG exports match the selected canvas dimensions, between 64 and 1024 pixels per side. Transparent backgrounds preserve alpha. SVG exports retain vector template artwork and embed imported PNG images. Layer positions outside the canvas can clip; keep important features inside the preview.

The collection sheet exports all 36 original props at 256 × 256 per frame in a 6-column, 6-row arrangement. Its companion JSON lists each frame’s x, y, width and height. Load the PNG as a texture, then use those coordinates in your engine. This is an engine-neutral format; native Unity or Godot project files, collisions and animations are not included or verified.

Save now. Make more later.

Use Save project to update your current local save, or Save a copy to keep a new variation. My projects holds up to eight saves subject to browser storage space. Imported layers are included as reduced PNGs; full original photos are not stored. Download Project for a portable editable JSON file. PNG and SVG are finished exports and do not reopen as editable template layers.

What about AI?

The Art brief tab prepares prompts locally for free. The optional owner-only AI pilot can send a description and a flattened preview of your canvas to OpenRouter and a selected provider, only when you choose Generate after the notice explaining what will be sent. AI begins paused until the owner connects a bounded provider key. Each click requests one draft; the result is reviewed before adding a new image layer.

The owner admin panel controls the primary model, up to two backups, verified endpoint prices and task capabilities, per-user allowance, a daily ceiling, and a total pilot ceiling up to $20. AI generation is owner-only in this release. Timeouts do not auto-retry. Failed or uncertain charges stay reserved until verified. Atlas or Codex can read diagnostics and pause AI through the protected Site tools once connected.

Original template assets and local edits need no AI calls. Ordinary editing remains available even when the pilot is paused or its budget is exhausted. Generated images are raster layers, not editable vector parts, and exact style preservation is not guaranteed.
