world core sprite generator

The Special Stage Systems World Core is one of the strangest and most beautiful video synth modules ever made. A handful of them exist in the wild. If you have one, you know exactly what it does and why it matters. If you don't, look up the Ming Mecca and let it wash over you.

The World Core eats sprites. It needs custom image data to do its thing — pixel art, patterns, glyphs, whatever you feed it. But generating sprites in the right format has always been a friction point. This tool removes that friction.

The world core sprite generator lets you create, preview, and export sprites formatted for the World Core. Draw directly, import images, tweak palettes, and export in the format the module expects. No hex editing. No guesswork.

This is a free tool. No catch. There are maybe a dozen World Core owners out there, and they deserve nice things. Consider it a thank-you to Special Stage Systems for making something so wonderfully unhinged, and a small gift to the people keeping those modules alive.
