SDK Spriter adding functionality to create platformer and turn-based battle levels
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
HullBreach Studios still has plenty of plans for SDK Spriter. Some new free and paid content is in the works for the downloadable Wii U app.
First, a platformer level mode is coming to SDK Spriter at no extra cost. The indie studio is also making a turn-based battle mode which will be offered as paid DLC. Details on both are practically non-existent at the moment, though we’ll probably be receiving concrete information sooner rather than later.

SDK Spriter “Overworld” trailer, details
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Videos, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
HulLBreach Studios prepared a new SDK Spriter trailer which shows overworld creation. See the video below.
“Overworld” is one of four level types users can make in SDK Spriter. Here’s the full explanation from HullBreach:
SDK Spriter is an all-in-one studio for creating retro video game assets, including character sprite sheets, tile sets, maps, and full levels. The final assets can be exported to Miiverse™ or SDKSpriter.com. It is exclusive to the Wii U™ console.
There are 4 primary components to SDK Spriter: Sprites, Tiles, Maps, and Levels.
Sprites are comprised of 64×64 pixel art characters that have eight frames of animation for each compass direction. The resulting sprite sheet is a PNG image.
Tiles are comprised of 64×64 tile pixel art that is assembled into a 16×16 grid. The resulting tile set is a PNG image.
Maps are 128×128 layered grids of tiles and collision rules that reference an existing tile set.
Levels are a combination of layered maps, a player sprite, multiple non-player character sprites, and metadata. Levels come in four forms: Overworld, Platformer, Terrain, and Dungeon Master. Depending on the level type, they follow basic rendering rules (i.e. fog, TV masking, shading, layering, tilt angle, etc.) and physics rules (gravity, collision-detection, warping, etc.).
