The problem
Aseprite is where pixel art gets made, but game and NFT pipelines run on SVG and tilemap formats it does not speak. That gap gets bridged by hand, repeatedly, and the manual step is where art and code drift apart.
The approach
Four Lua extensions that live inside the editor and close that gap: an SVG importer that brings vector sources onto the canvas, an SVG exporter that emits usable markup from pixel art, a tilemap authoring tool, and a palette-accurate painting extension for Aavegotchi wearables. Each is a standalone open-source package rather than a single monolithic plugin, so a project can adopt only the part it needs.
Outcome
Four public repositories used in the author's own art pipeline for the arcade catalogue and wearable assets.
