Introducing Sprite Sage 0.2.0
Generate on your own machine with Qwen Image 2.1 or connect to OpenAI’s GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst. Then shape the animation in Sprite Sage and export it to Godot.
Open source for Windows. Start with your own art, too.
New in 0.2.0
Two new generation options feed into the same sprite and animation workflow. Choose the setup that suits the way you work.
Qwen Image 2.1
Generate and edit images locally with Qwen Image 2.1. Guided setup helps you install the engine and model, so image generation can run on your own hardware.
Requires compatible hardware and separate downloads. Model terms apply.
OpenAI GPT Image 2.5
Create and edit with GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst through Sprite Sage’s OpenAI connection. Keep working on the results in the same animation workspace.
Use your own API key. Account access and provider charges apply.
A more capable animation workspace
An image is the beginning. Work through the frames, try a different rhythm and bring the result into your game.
Bring in Aseprite animations, animated GIFs and WebP files, image sequences or sprite sheets. Continue from artwork you have already made.
Reorder poses, adjust individual frame durations and preview the movement as you work. Use loop, reverse and ping-pong controls to find the rhythm that fits.
Export a single sprite or a whole project to Godot 4. Frame timing and loop settings travel with the animation, so you can keep building from the work you have already done.
Made in Sprite Sage
A few ideas brought to life in the same workspace - from a flickering lantern to a spark in flight.
Environment
A lantern flickers. A place comes to life.
Room to experiment
Try a different sequence, change the timing and step back with Undo/Redo. Autosave and saved-version recovery give you more room to revise.
Guide generated character frames with a motion template, review each result and retry the ones that need work. A starter template is included. Movement and character consistency still need review.
Supported animated GLB models can also become directional sprite frames.
Sprite Sage for Windows
Open a project and import artwork to try the animation tools. Add a model connection when you’re ready to generate.
Import, edit and export existing artwork without setting up AI. Local generation requires compatible hardware and separate engine and model downloads. OpenAI generation uses your own API key, depends on account access and incurs provider charges.
Back up projects and image assets before upgrading. Saving an older sprite updates its format; older Sprite Sage versions cannot reopen it. Saved-version recovery covers document data and image references, so keep separate backups of artwork.
Check the terms for the source artwork and selected model or provider. These are separate from Sprite Sage’s GPLv3 application license.
