I am designing a lightweight JS engine called Sanctuary, primarily for game making but later will have more functions. Check it out and give me feedback, I'll keep building.
A little more of the Sprite Bite Deform Cage tool.

Here is the animation menu we have going now that is present in all animation tools.

Just one of many options for moving parts around.

More soon!

🎨 Another little look at Sprite Bite!

Our Deform Cage lets you reshape sprites by moving control points around. Choose from preset shapes or draw your own custom cage, then adjust it however you like!

Plenty more animation tools I'll be revealing soon.

🎨 Sprite Bite is coming!

Our next creative tool is being built for quick, intuitive asset workflows. Sprite Bite is a sprite/gif/pixelart editor with native animation tools & options.

No Sanctuary Engine required. Just another useful tool for indie creators!

🎨 Palette Pal just got a major update!

New UI, fixes, and improvements to our standalone pixel art palette tool!

It's the first of several creative tools we're building alongside Sanctuary Engine. More to come! 🛠️

Dev update from the little space corner of my workshop! 🪐

Astro Miner is helping me test Sanctuary Engine in the best way possible: by making an actual game with it, finding what breaks, and improving things as I go.

I'm building Sanctuary Engine as a portable HTML5/JavaScript tool for making 2D games, with 3D capabilities growing along the way.

Open it in your browser and start creating. No giant installation ritual required. 🚀

I'm a solo dev building Sanctuary Engine in public. The gameplay is real, the project is real, and I'm still building.

Their loss if they keep us locked out. Hello Bluesky!🚀

Here's a peek at the expedition side of the game...

So, what actually happened with X? 🤔

I posted a normal Astro Miner gameplay clip showing off my game development progress. Then my account was suspended for “inauthentic behavior.”

I appealed. Rejected. No specific explanation, and now I can't even edit my profile.
