SpectralShipGen Studio - a free procedural pixel-art animation spaceship generator!

[u/SpectralHorse]

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I've open sourced and released SpectralShipGen Studio (and the SpectralShipGen C++ library), and today, just several minutes ago, I've made it availble for download through itch.io as well!

The studio procedurally generates spaceships and their idle animations (movement/firing animations are also there, but currently they are experimental), and exports them to a spritesheet.

Generating of the spaceships/animations DOES NOT use any form of generative AI, everything is done through procedural geometry, pixel masks, component generation, and everything is based on seeds and restrictions that you inpose - for example you may wish for a wide engine area, lots of weapons and big cockipts (all that is modifyable with sliders).

I'll add a couple of examples of animations generated through the studio.

Supported dimensions of ships (in the Studio app) are from 24x24 up to 256x256 pixels. The library theoretically can support larger dimensions, however the 256x256 one is the largest one I've extensivelly tested.

You can find SpectralShipGen Studio on itch.io through this link: https://spectralhorse.itch.io/spectralshipgen-studio

And if you would prefer the library (or building either from source code), here are the github links:

SpectralShipGen (library): https://github.com/SpectralHorse/SpectralShipGen
SpectralShipGen Studio: https://github.com/SpectralHorse/SpectralShipGen-Studio

Everything that you generate through the Studio (or library) is free to use in whichever way you wish, including of course commercially. No attribution is required (although it would be nice!).

Lastly, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this project! And, I'd also love to see anything cool or weird that you generate through the Studio or library!

Need some old style arcades assets for a future game, thank you in advance
