Hi! How might I have it set up for it generating a different background each time the player spawns in? Also, do you have any youtube tutorials on the lagistics of this generator? tysm!
Well that depends on your own implementation of it. You could just have a bunch of different backgrounds and choose one randomly when the player spawns. No tutorials or anything like that unfortunately, but it should be pretty straightforward, just set the options how you want them and export.
Hey Pixel Picasso! 🌌🎨 Just wanted to drop a galactic-sized thank you for your space-tastic background generator. My game’s visuals are now soaring through the cosmos, all thanks to your pixel wizardry! Your name’s not just in the credits; it’s etched into the pixels of the universe. Keep on crafting those cosmic canvases! 🚀🖌️ #PixelPerfection #BackgroundBard
This is fantastic. I may end up using this in my project, but I'm not sure yet. You will definitely get credit if I do. I only learned about your tools because a game I recently checked out ("Astrobrawl") credited you for this and your planet generator (which also may end up being useful for me).
Thank you for your hard work, and for making this freely available.
Ah, I just decided to buy it and throw it in. My artist friend may do backgrounds of his own in the future, but these are significantly better placeholders than the ones I've been using. And if it works out that way, I'll just keep them in. They look great. <3
Thank you, much appreciated! Nice to hear of the credit, and that you found the tools through that. would love to see your game once it's done. Thanks!
You can set proper metadata by following the next steps: "Edit game -> Metadata -> Release info -> License for code". Also you can add the link to the source code: "Edit game -> Metadata -> External links"
Hello! I wanted to ask just in case if we can use this generator for assets in commercial game projects? Not nft of course haha. This would be really useful for making tiling parallax backgrounds for maps in my rpg.
Not sure what you mean? The planets should be random each time. As for the stars I drew some sprites by hand, I think the amount of variation in them is good the way it is currently.
Ah I see. I think the filesize would be way to big for some of the backgrounds though if you tried to export those as animations. I think a better solution would be to manually add some particles using whatever engine you're using.
The default export size limit does not meet my requirements. Can I modify the export size limit in the source code to export the image of bigger size I need?
question! i was making a game but I'm too lazy to make the backgrounds myself so i wanted to use this? I'll credit you a million times over when it releases.
Hey, yeah feel free to use it. If you want to give credit you could do that either in game or on your game page with a mention to this project. Thanks!
Thank for answer, I'll use it as background on site of my game about station on mars, and will say about you on README.md on GitHub repository of the project
Hey, i love this tool man thanks! But i noticed that the tile option works only along the shorter distance of the image. So, if my height is shorter than my width (say H: 1080 and W: 1920) it would only tile between the two height lines/levels because they are nearer to each other than the width lines/levels are.
Sry, if this is normal and i'm complaining about it 👀
Anyway, thanks so much again, cuz it has really helped me shape a game of mine. I'll post it after, in case you wanna check it out. 😊👍
Yeah you're correct on the tiling not working in that case. I still have to figure that bug out sometime. Don't worry about complaining haha, glad to receive feedback! Also would love to see your game!
hey, first off awesome generator! I've used it a few times and it's been a great help with backgrounds.
Secondly, I've had the windows version for a little while, but for some reason hitting "export" wont save the image to the file the program is in anymore. Not sure why this is the case. EDIT: moving the generator to an empty file and restarting it seemed to work.
Thirdly, I've tried using the web version, but you cant seem to be able to paste text into the color slots. You can, however, copy and paste colors from the website to the website. But you can't paste regular text into the site.
Not sure what the issue with the file saving is. I think it might overwrite the old file because it always saves with the same name, I should probably change that. I think the text pasting issue is due to the engine I'm using, I'll see if I can fix that.
Do you mean like how I made it? I made it in a game engine called Godot. I don't really have a tutorial for it, but it comes down to using shaders to generate something called "fractal brownian motion". Then with that generated noise pattern I do some tweaking and apply some color and you have a background. The stars are just some particles using hand drawn sprites.
In the browser version the pictures should appear wherever your browser puts it's downloaded files. On the Windows and Linux version the pictures should be in the same folder as the program. However they always export with the same name, so make sure you don't overwrite the old files.
Yeah of course, I just uploaded a Linux version. I can't upload an AppImage because I'm not sure how to export that from godot, but hope this works for you.
Was wondering if it would be ok for me to use this to make some static backgrounds for my twitch streams. would of course put you in the credits on my about page
I used your awesome generator to create some backgrounds for Balluxe™ - my entry into the LOWREZ22 jam,. They gave the game a subtle yet atmospheric flair compared to the solid black backdrop I'd been using. Thanks for sharing your work!
Hello, this is one of the coolets resources i've ever seen! Thanks to u for that. Also I used one of your backgrounds in my recent game, hope u'll like it! Thanks again https://swithz.itch.io/face-to-space
Awesome pixel art background generator. It's a must-have!! I used in my game: https://joeraig.itch.io/planet-defender. It matched perfectly with your Pixel Planet Generator.

Then you could export an animated spritesheet.
Thanks for the suggestions, it's a pretty good idea. I think for now though I prefer keeping it simpler and not add animations. As an alternative you could try using particles in your game for some blinking stars. Thanks for using the generator!
Hi! I used your awesome generator in a game I made. If you want to check it out, here's the link: https://singularityy.itch.io/space-war! If something was misused, I'll be happy to fix it. Thanks a lot for the asset, really cool!
thank you sir , for your software we all apretiate you to create this , and thank you .sir with your due permission would i use your this software in our game ,also i will give you the credit

Hey, thank you very much for the message haha! Glad you enjoy the generator. Thanks for the credit and good luck on your game!
thanks for background in my profile
Glad you like it!
thanks!
You're welcome!
Hi. Thank you for this. I will use it for a Game Jam, and helps a lot to be faster, you will be in the credits.
Glad you enjoy! Good luck in the game jam!
Where do the exported images export to??
On Windows and Linux, it should be in the same folder the program is. On MacOS under "
~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Godot/Yea sorry, I figured it out, i should have told you sooner
This is insane!! Awesome work! I'm making backgrounds for my desktop and this is just what I needed!
Great, glad it's of use to you!

BRO, I love you work
Thanks! Happy you like my stuff!
Hi!
i used this to background image in my game
and also used pixel-planet for player sprite

Hi. Congrats on making a game, awesome job! Thanks for sharing!
You can set proper metadata by following the next steps: "Edit game -> Metadata -> Release info -> License for code". Also you can add the link to the source code: "Edit game -> Metadata -> External links"
Thank you, didn't even know that existed lol.
You can leave a comment here to support my proposal about making metadata more visible for those who are interested in it https://itch.io/t/2919128/metadata-encouragement#post-7952450

Yes, feel free to use this in your commercial projects. Hope this works well for your backgrounds!
I think planets and stars can be made dynamic
Not sure what you mean? The planets should be random each time. As for the stars I drew some sprites by hand, I think the amount of variation in them is good the way it is currently.
For example, you can add some twinkling stars and allow the user to export a sequence of frames
Ah I see. I think the filesize would be way to big for some of the backgrounds though if you tried to export those as animations. I think a better solution would be to manually add some particles using whatever engine you're using.
How do you export the image?
Click the "export" button.
Amazing! They even tile! Thank you so much.
Happy you like it!
The default export size limit does not meet my requirements. Can I modify the export size limit in the source code to export the image of bigger size I need?
Yeah feel free to edit the source. I think the limit might be set via one of Godot's UI settings, not sure.
Thank you!
Can you send the changed version that will produce bigger sizes
This is absolutely phenomenal. I was not expecting to find such an amazing randomly generated pixel art maker. Very well done.
Thank you for the nice comment, glad you enjoy it!
This software was an integral part of my games art aesthetic. Thank you for making and releasing this.
It's been used in this project and you've been credited.
https://lampewick.itch.io/spoopy-garden
Glad it's been useful! Congrats on making a game, looks great!
question! i was making a game but I'm too lazy to make the backgrounds myself so i wanted to use this? I'll credit you a million times over when it releases.
Yeah feel free to use this, would love to see your game when it's finished!
you will
Shouldn't the title be "infinite infinite backgrounds"?
Hmm, but is infinite infinity not the same as a regular infinity?
Oh my bad, I thought the backgrounds were tilable.
Oh like that lol, yeah they should be tileable. I guess you're right that makes it double infinite,
Purchased with a little added. This is great, thank you. I'll be using it in a game coming soon.
Thank you very much! I hope it's useful in the game jam!
Hi again. I finally got around to using your great work:
Nice, looks awesome!
This is awesome thanks!
Glad you like it!
Hello, can i use it in projects? And what i need to write, like add you to credits, or something else?
Hey, yeah feel free to use it. If you want to give credit you could do that either in game or on your game page with a mention to this project. Thanks!
Thank for answer, I'll use it as background on site of my game about station on mars, and will say about you on README.md on GitHub repository of the project
Awesome! Would love to see it when your game is finished!
Thank you so much for making this resource! It worked wonderfully and is greatly appreciated!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful. You made a really awesome game with it!

Very good tool, can I put the image resource into the generated background image by myself?
Thanks! I'm not really sure what you mean, can you explain what you mean by the image resource?
It means the picture, in the space of the background, add a new picture
Yeah feel free to add any pictures to the space background.
Okay, thanks
Any chance we could get a mac version?
Unfortunately not. I can't export macOS executables without owning a mac myself due to some requirements by apple.
How do you make this background generator?
Do you mean like how I made it? I made it in a game engine called Godot. I don't really have a tutorial for it, but it comes down to using shaders to generate something called "fractal brownian motion". Then with that generated noise pattern I do some tweaking and apply some color and you have a background. The stars are just some particles using hand drawn sprites.

In the browser version the pictures should appear wherever your browser puts it's downloaded files. On the Windows and Linux version the pictures should be in the same folder as the program. However they always export with the same name, so make sure you don't overwrite the old files.
This is amazing, thank you for releasing it as open source software!!!
Thanks, you're welcome!
Is there any chance you could make a linux version? Perhaps an AppImage?
Yeah of course, I just uploaded a Linux version. I can't upload an AppImage because I'm not sure how to export that from godot, but hope this works for you.
Perhaps this can help:

Awesome! Well done on making a game for a jam, it has a pretty nice arcady vibe to it!
Oh and thanks for the credit, cheers!

Hi. Thanks, that's nice to hear! Glad the generator was useful.
Very nice job on the game, well done! Oh and thanks for the credit, cheers!
Hello there,
This asset is super cool, I have use it in my game Nebula and I really like the look of the game background.
https://jutek-pixel.itch.io/nebula
I got my hands also on a Planet Generator which I have used as well, amazing assets. Thanks.
Hi. Nice, glad it was useful! Good job on the game, looks awesome!
Awesome pixel art background generator. It's a must-have!! I used in my game: https://joeraig.itch.io/planet-defender. It matched perfectly with your Pixel Planet Generator. One improve suggestion:
It would be great if you could enable an option to select some stars and make them blink (maybe matching the colors of some random ones with the background). Then you could export an animated spritesheet.
Thanks really for your work!
Hey, glad you like both the generators!
Thanks for the suggestions, it's a pretty good idea. I think for now though I prefer keeping it simpler and not add animations. As an alternative you could try using particles in your game for some blinking stars. Thanks for using the generator!
Hi! That looks really awesome, nice job on the game! Glad the generators could be of use.
Thanks for the credit, appreciate it!
Thanks! ( ╹▽╹ )
nice goes amazingly well with the pixel planet generator
Yeah I tried to match the style somewhat. Glad you like it!
thank you sir , for your software we all apretiate you to create this , and thank you .sir with your due permission would i use your this software in our game ,also i will give you the credit
one's again thank you so much
Haha, you're welcome! Feel free to use this in your game.
Hope you make a cool game with it!
