Hey folks 👋
Quick check-in after a few quiet days.
I didn’t disappear — I just fell straight down the SpriteGrid rabbit hole. Hard. 😅
One of those stretches where you sit down to “fix one thing” and suddenly it’s several days later and the tool is noticeably better than it was before.
What’s been happening
SpriteGrid has been moving forward in some meaningful ways:
- Continued work on the sprite sheet editor, including tighter interaction handling and cleaner internal state
- Ongoing improvements to file handling and formats, keeping things flexible while staying intentionally lightweight
- UI polish and workflow tweaks aimed at making SpriteGrid feel less like a prototype and more like a daily-use tool
A lot of this work isn’t flashy on the surface, but it’s the kind that makes future features possible instead of painful.
About the quiet spell
If you’ve ever dealt with hyperfocus, you probably know the deal:
when momentum hits, context switching becomes the enemy.
I’ve been prioritizing building over posting, not because updates don’t matter — but because sometimes the best update is progress you can actually feel when you open the app again.
That said, I do want to keep this devlog space alive and honest, so expect more frequent check-ins again going forward.
What’s next
- Continuing to refine the sprite and level editing workflows
- Exploring small “coffee-break” style features that make SpriteGrid fun to open even when you’re not deep in production
- Getting things into a state where screenshots and short demo clips make more sense to share
As always, thanks for following along — and if you’ve been quietly lurking, that counts too. 🙂
More soon.
