About Spritory

Indie game development stalls on assets. Most developers can design a game, write the code, and ship the build — but they can't draw. Or they can draw a bit, but not consistently. Their knight looks different from their goblin. Their new tiles don't match the old ones. Every asset update feels like starting over.

The solutions available today are either too manual (Aseprite, Photoshop), too unpredictable (AI image generators), or too expensive (hiring artists, buying asset packs that rarely fit together).

Spritory is a compiler for game art. You define a style profile — a palette of color ramps, a light direction, outline and texture rules per material type. Then you build assets from structural templates, tagging shapes by material (metal, stone, cloth, wood, skin). The style profile handles the rest: shading, color, outlines, textures.

Swap the profile and every asset you've built updates. Extract a profile from a reference image, and new assets instantly match existing ones. Consistency is automatic, not a manual discipline.

Think of the left side as structure (HTML) and the right side as style (CSS). The same shapes compiled through different profiles produce entirely different-looking art. That separation is the core idea.

Spritory is not an AI image generator. AI can help with small tasks — filling a masked region, suggesting palette variations — but it's a helper, not the engine. The Forge is deterministic and fully under your control.

It's also not a pixel editor for drawing from scratch. If you want to paint sprites by hand, Aseprite is the right tool. Spritory is for developers who want to define rules and have art produced from those rules.

The primary audience is indie game developers who can't draw well but want high-quality, consistent 2D assets without the cost of hiring an artist. A secondary audience is experienced pixel artists who want to work faster — define a style once and produce variations at scale.

Spritory scales with skill level. A developer with no art background can use built-in templates and style presets. A more skilled artist can author custom profiles, fine-tune ramp curves, and use the tileset editor to extend or restyle existing art.
