Can I use generated sprites with my favourite 2d game engine?

Any game engine that can load a PNG graphics file can use sprites generated with CryPixels.

What example grids are included in the most recent version?

There are 14 example generation grids to get you started quickly, including spaceships, monsters, robots, trees and humanoids. In the latest version you can load all the examples directly from the software start screen.

Will I be able to easily make custom generation grids?

Certainly! Check out our latest documentation to find out how to use all the grid tools.

What's the license for sprites made using CryPixels?

You may use the sprites in any type of project, including personal, education and commercial. There's no need to give credit to CryPixels.

Can I use a single copy of CryPixels on multiple computers?

Yes, the license is per user so you can use it on any computers you personally own and operate.

Will there be a Linux version?

We are currently working hard on getting the Windows and macOS versions as good as they can be. Linux support is planned in the future, please post on the forum if your interested in this platform.

When opening the software on Windows, it is blocked by SmartScreen?

We recommend installing via the itch.io app, because of this we don't sign our apps, therefore Windows doesn't recognise the program. Click on More information and instruct Windows to run the program anyway, or change your SmartScreen settings. CryPixels is perfectly safe, as long as you downloaded it from our itch.io page.

When opening the software on mac, it doesn't let me because it's from an unknown developer?

To resolve this, simply right-click the program and choose "Open", then you will get an option to "Run anyway". Next time it will run without prompting.

What are the minimum system requirements?

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 or later / macOS 10.10 or later
