Changelog

Today we’re opening AI Sprite Maker to everyone. This is the first public release, so here’s everything that’s in it, and the few things that aren’t switched on yet.

Generator

• Sprite Studio at /create: still sprites, characters, items and icons, tiles and UI pieces (2 credits each, 1 or 4 variations).

Browse them at /motions.
• 4 and 8-direction turnarounds (8 / 14 credits) and seamless tilesets of 16 tiles (6 credits).

Site

The interface, tools and pricing are available in 12 languages. Docs, help center, guides, and comparisons with PixelLab, Sprite-AI and Ludo.ai are in English for now.

Not switched on yet

We’d rather tell you than have you find out:

• Custom motions (motions that aren’t in the library) and MP4/WebM/MOV to sprite on the server are built but waiting on the video pipeline. They return a clear “not available yet” message and cost nothing. The free in-browser Video to Sprite Sheet tool works today.
• CLI on npm: the aispritemaker package isn’t published yet. Workaround.
• Job-completion webhooks for the API: in development. Poll GET /jobs/:id for now.
• Self-serve account deletion in Settings: for now, email us.

Each of these will get its own entry here when it ships.
