Now that I’ve resigned myself to creating assets for all the different devices, I am looking for ways to automate this process as much as possible.
Photoshop has a number of different asset generation options, so that’s easy enough.
However, I do a lot of drawings and design on my iPad using apps like Procreate and Affinity Designer.
Now that I’ve got Photoshop all set up, it’s time to make some (auto)magic!
This is part 2 of my attempt to document the process of creating a simple jigsaw puzzle game in excruciating detail.
To create the puzzle images, I want to be able to take a Photoshop document, slice it up using the selection tools, then export those sliced-up layers. I also want to use a script to automatically generate the final, correct locations for all of the pieces and write them to a JSON file that will work on all devices.
Added a sinister-looking character to the dodgy-looking alley as assets for my upcoming adventure game prototype.
