Opus 5.5 can now turn a single character image into a playable 8-direction RPG character through MCP.

AutoSprite has been in development for almost a year, and the workflow is getting pretty interesting for AI game dev.

Give it one character and it can generate:

8-direction isometric sprites
idle, walk and run animations
attacks + spells
custom animations
equipment across different directions
front + side views for consistency

There's even Motion Control.

You can film yourself performing an action and transfer that movement onto your sprite character.

But the most interesting part is the MCP integration.

Claude Code and Codex can connect directly to AutoSprite, generate the assets they need and then use those assets while building the game.

The HD-2D demo shown here combines AutoSprite-generated spritesheets with Three.js particle effects built using Opus 5.5.

So the workflow is getting pretty close to:

one character image → Opus 5.5 → complete animated character → playable game

Character consistency across 8 directions has always been one of the annoying parts of AI-generated game assets.

Automating that entire pipeline directly from the coding agent is much more interesting than generating individual sprites.
