Sprite & Mip Studio

Paint 2-tone dungeon sprites at three distance mips (near / mid / far) with a live first-person preview at each depth. Billboard enemies, floor props, torches, wall textures, and quest objects (chests, masks, shrines).

Enemy Creator

Set stats, AI, and elemental weaknesses / resistances, and attach a sprite by name. Live preview of the foe at every distance plus its combat condition ladder.

Item Creator

Build weapons, armor, relics, light sources, and consumables — stat modifiers, granted abilities, and use effects — with an in-game readout of how each reads and plays.

Class Editor

Author the classes you pick at the start of a run — stat deltas, starting gear and pack, a passive, and the picker blurb — with a live readout of the resulting HP, energy, attack, evade, and pursuit speed (how easily that class outruns a chaser).

Floor Editor

Paint walls, doors, stairs, and secrets; place enemies and the full interactive kit — floor traps, timed spike gates, wall levers that slide walls open, lore lecterns, and use-prompt objects (chests, masks) with data-driven outcomes. Walk a live first-person preview.

How it fits together

Each tool is self-contained and exports drop-in Python that matches the game's own format exactly. Content links by name: an enemy references a sprite like "art": SKELETON, a floor references an enemy by "key": "skeleton". Paste a tool's output into the matching file — enemies.py, items.py, props.py, or world.py — and it runs.

The game now loads this content for real: floors chain through the stairs (world.FLOORS), props and objects render as billboards, and the interactive kit runs — step on a trap, time a spike gate, throw a lever to slide a wall aside, search a hidden door, read a lectern, or use an object for a YES/NO choice (wear it, gamble on treasure, reveal a secret).

The tools now author behaviour, not just data and art. The Floor Editor sets an enemy's behavior (patrol / pursuit / hold) with its speed and leash and lets you draw its patrol route on the map; wires a lever or pressure plate to any number of targets with an explicit state verb (open / close / toggle / arm / disarm), so a plate can shut a door and disarm a trap; places altars whose choices carry real effects (bless, curse, heal, a stat trade, loot); and paints a per-cell theme id so a room or a corridor can use its own wall/floor/ceiling set. The Class Editor authors the classes you pick at the start of a run. Bundle a theme in the Sprite Studio and the Floor Editor picks it up automatically, so you can paint it straight away.

Transitions are procedural — not stored frames. A shared anim module fades from a direction, dither-dissolves things in and out, and slides doors open; it drives the intro cards, entering combat, opening a door, and using an object. Swap the placeholder intro frames in intro.py for your own art whenever.
