Intersect Character Generator

Our open source alternative to Quik Sprite,  create and customize characters for your game!

 

 

 

Features:

• Use any character components that you want! Just drop them into the apps assets folder.
• Components can be stored as Male, Female, and Unisex - you don't need to keep duplicate files anymore if you want them to be used on male and female characters!
• Set color hues for any layer of your sprite, take it a step further by changing the intensity of your hues!
• Alter the transparency of any layer with the alpha slider.
• Automatically randomize component selections!  You can use the lock on each option to opt-out of randomization!

[Kibbelz]

Looks good from the screenies. Would be worth it to have a hue slider for each character part as well

[reaksiyon]

If we can customize the size it will be better. My paperdolls not for these sprites :DD

 

btw nice work +1

It should work regardless. Just replace the paperdolls and sprites with your sizes. You dont need to edit code.

Thank you.

[ThePolishBeast]

how would you go about adding old nes spirtes and ddos game icons for characters? is there a way to use this engine as a rougelike style game?

[Zetasis]

@ThePolishBeast you can use this generator for any type of sprites. Simply replace the existing images inside each folder with your own images and you should be good to go.

i can understand that but for nes games they only have 3 points of movement and this engine has 4 do i need all 4 sprites or can i get away with 3 or even 2 if you know what i mean

[jcsnider]

You need all 4 for the engine, but 2 of the frames are (dumbly) the exact same. The reason we don't switch to 3 (or haven't yet) is just for compatibility with previous versions of the engine.  The following tool as a module that will allow you to convert your assets from 3 to 4 though:

I hope you don't switch to 3 frame, while its seems dumb that 2 frames are the same, that is only true for bi-pedal creatures, I use 4 different frames for everything that doesn't have 2 legs. Which is more than half the sprites I use.

If the "switch" is ever made it would be done in such a way that the default graphics become 3 frame, and the engine supports 3 frame by default, but there'd be an option for 4 frame as well. So nothing to worry about, and that's wayyyyyy down the road anyways.  We're getting pretty far off topic lol

This tool is amazing ! any plan to merge it with the editor or/and the client for the players ?

Might be merged with the editor one day,  but that sort of character customization won’t ever be client-sided in the vanilla version of Intersect. 

[Sol Mundus]

Thanks for the reply

By curiosity why it will be not into the client part ?

[Kibbelz]

Because packaging dev tools with the client is extremely bad practice. just copy sprites generated from the editor to the client entities folder, if the game is already released use an auto updater.

[CharmingClyde]

So, if i wanted player to have freedom with this character generator, how would i go about adding their sprite to the game?

[jcsnider]

Have them send it to you, and then add it manually?  You cannot automate the process, this tool is for game designers.

[jcsnider]

Update out updating the icon to match the new Intersect icon.

 

Bugs Fixed:

• Can't change hue in accessories
• When you have a hue change selected in an inventory slot that has no inventory, it shows an error prompt.

[Neeknog]

awesome!

 

[tyweek]

hello, look at the characters generated with this program are of different size to those used by the engine.

 

how can i use them?
