Assets & Sources

Split from the original design notes on 2026-08-02.

Task

Extract game items from the source images, pixelize them, and create a pixelized player avatar using up to 10 sprites (running, jumping, …).

• Antagonist avatar images are pixelized in the kn00t folder.
• Score display graphics: pixelsp33d.jpg (top-level project file, the YT/Discord avatar) — used as the HUD score badge.

All Discord CDN links below are signed and will expire. Every asset they point to has already been downloaded into assets/src/, so this list only matters if we ever need to re-fetch something from source.

What’s already in the repo

Local files already copied into the project (originals left in place):

See the technical plan for what each of these turned out to actually be and how it’s used in-game, and tools/*.sh + tools/*.py in the repo for the pixelization pipeline that turns this source art into assets/gen/.
