Retro Game Asset Studio
Introduction
This application allows the creation of various asset types (graphics, sound/music, levels) for retro game platforms (currently Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64). It is a cross development tool in that it will run on a PC and produce output to be consumed by a compiler (such as WinAPE for the PC or MAXAM on the CPC).
It is free and open source. It is also a work in progress so some features may be incomplete and/or buggy.
This application is an evolution of the AMSprite program, which will no longer be developed as all its features have been moved to RGAS.
Features
- Uses a common editor for all target platforms.
- View sprite animation preview at any frame rate
- Edit hardware sprites for CPCPlus, with custom palette
- Export to multiple languages per platform. (e.g. 3 targets are supported for CPC: MAXAM assembler, C, and Basic).
- Import any image file and convert to bitmap with fine control over brightness, contrast and dithering. Includes palette optimisation.
- Import any video file and generate an assembly program to replicate (CPC only).
- Export a blank image with indexed amstrad palette for editing in external paint program. Can be reimported.
- Includes a full test program to see your sprites in action (CPC only).
- Includes a basic level editor
- Includes a basic sound effects / music tracker (CPC only).
- Cross Platform, run under Windows or Mac/Linux via MONO runtime (excludes video import for CPC).
- Runs under Windows RT with jailbreak applied.
- Edit multiple sprites simultaneously in a grid (custom grid columns, any combination of sprites).
- Onion skinning in sprite editor of either other sprites or any image file.
- Editor supports standard bitmap editing conventions such as Ctrl+Mouse wheel for zoom etc.
- Handles attribute blocks for Spectrum/C64 bitmaps.
- Sprite rotation.
