👨‍💻 About the Creator

Developed by Konrad Kovács at Klotho Games, this tool was born from real production needs in 2D game development. As a solo indie developer, passionate about creating efficient workflows, I've crafted this system to solve the color management challenges I often encounter. Limiting myself to grayscale and 8x8 pixels (as seen in the screenshots) had a wondrous effect on me.

Disclosure: AI was used to aid with the creation of this description and extensive commentary in the code for anyone who wants to play with the scripts
