Thinkin' of trying to make the sprite baker again
The sprite baker was my attempt at making a sprite generator like what's in ace. however in all my digging I never really got that much help even when I asked (save for a few very sweet folks that pointed me closer to the right direction).
In a convo with a friend recently made me rethink how I should try to make it. Even though its in the name the ace generator isn't just a generator, its an option to. The main idea behind it is you can make your own sprites picking and layering certain pieces. So what exactly would it make the "generator"? A compiler maybe?
If I can determine what it is in the truest sense then I can get a grasp on how to make my own. Why do I want to make my own? Simply because I'm picky. The ace one doesn't let me make larger sprites even though it has tons of options and you can add into it. While the ones for larger sprites tend to be very limited, looseleafs being the best one I've come across but even it still lacks what I'm looking for.
I also want the option to make children if I need to for either sprite type. I used to have images of what the baker looked like before but I've done lost them somewhere. If anyone would like to weigh in on their thoughts it'd be greatly appreciated.
