Why I made this

I'm working toward making my own pixel art game. I've been learning on PICO-8 and built some code to procedurally generate a little town — and it was fun watching buildings pop up with different shapes and colors.

Then I thought: this would be way more useful if I could do it directly in Aseprite, where I actually make my art.

So I ported it. Now I can generate a building, tweak it, and keep moving. One less friction point between me and finishing a game.

If you've got similar dreams, a game you want to make, a town you want to build, maybe this gets you one step closer too.
