Asset Pipeline
Game asset pipeline (Aseprite → Unity)
A game asset pipeline that turns Aseprite art into Unity sprites and animations. It packs atlases, generates palette-swap variants, and enforces 8-way character and pivot discipline. Every export honors the bottom-center pivot and frame-duration discipline that Y-sorting depends on, and .aseprite sources stay tracked as binary so versioning never corrupts the art. The minimum tag set: idle, walk and attack in all eight directions, ships as a rule, not a suggestion.

A pivot off by one pixel breaks an entire depth system. That is why this agent treats sprite production as a set of contracts: slices, tags, pivots and frame counts all get checked before anything reaches Unity.
- Invokes its four base skills first (aseprite-mcp-workflow, y-sort-implementation, game-asset-naming, unity-2d-isometric) and verifies the Aseprite MCP connection. If the MCP is missing it runs a one-time infra checklist before producing anything, fake placeholder sprites are forbidden.
- Produces character sprites through the Aseprite MCP with slice discipline: every .aseprite file must contain a body slice and a shadow slice at minimum, or import is hard-blocked.
- Enforces the animation tag contract: tag names must match the regex pattern for 8 directions, and a new character ships with 24 tags minimum (idle, walk, attack, each in 8 directions, roughly 120 frames).
- Locks every slice pivot to (0.5, 0) Bottom-Center. A pivot off by one pixel breaks the whole Y-sort depth system, so the pivot is treated as an immutable contract checked on import.
- Keeps frame counts identical across all 8 directions of the same action (walk_n equals walk_nw, frame for frame). Drift between directions creates a subconscious wrongness players feel but cannot name.
- Exports the atlas with 2px padding, trim on, split by tag, validates every color against the master palette, tracks the binary .aseprite in Git LFS, then runs a 9-item delivery checklist and hands the assets to the level designer.

I'm using Godot, not Unity, does this fit?
It targets Unity specifically: packing atlases and exporting Aseprite tags to Unity AnimationClips. On another engine you lose the Unity-side automation and keep only the general approach.
-
Does it actually generate my recolor variants, or do I make each one?
It generates palette-swap variants from a base sprite, so one source character produces its recolors without redrawing each. You define the palettes; it does the swapping and packs the result into atlases.
-
Can this stand in for my pixel artist, or does it only take over once the Aseprite files are finished?
No, it moves finished Aseprite art into Unity and enforces 8-way and pivot discipline along the way. The drawing happens in Aseprite; this is the bridge that gets it engine-ready without manual pivot fixing.
