What Tools and Generators Does PNJeffries Offer?

Updated

PNJeffries' itch.io profile lists two non-game tools alongside the games: SPARTAN Procedural Tile Generator and a small pixel art animator that now includes procedural generation capabilities. Both are aimed at game developers and pixel artists who need to produce tiles or animation frames rather than play a finished game.

The two tools on the profile

Tool What it does Who it's for
SPARTAN Procedural Tile Generator Generates tiles procedurally Game developers building tile-based levels or tilesets
Small pixel art animator (with procedural generation) Animates pixel art, with procedural generation added Pixel artists and developers producing sprite animation

SPARTAN Procedural Tile Generator

SPARTAN is described as a procedural tile generator. The practical use case is generating tile graphics programmatically instead of drawing each tile by hand — useful when you need many variations of a tile (floors, walls, terrain edges) and want them produced from a set of rules rather than manual pixel work.

The pixel art animator

The second tool is a small pixel art animator that has been extended with procedural generation capabilities. In practice this means you can use it to build pixel art animations, and the procedural generation feature lets parts of that animation be produced or varied automatically rather than drawn frame by frame.

How these fit with the rest of the profile

These tools sit on the same itch.io profile as PNJeffries' games, which include:

  • Horrible Things in Human Skins — described as "A Game of Eldritch Pratfalls"
  • VoidShell-7DRL — a tactical Roguelike FPS about surviving a deadly alien world
  • Arachne — a roguelike set on a dynamically deforming spiderweb
  • Rogue's Eye — a first-person roguelike
  • Hellion 7DRL

The tools are listed as separate projects, not as part of any game, so they can be used independently of the games above.

What to check before using them

The profile page confirms the tools exist and what they are for, but it does not state pricing, licensing terms, supported operating systems, or whether they run in the browser. If you need any of those details, open the individual tool pages on the profile rather than assuming from the listing.
