Ritournelle & Sottine automatically enhances your pixel art assets during playtest — no external software, no manual editing.
Self-contained plugin, no dependencies. Launch your game, the plugin does the rest.
WHAT IT PROCESSES
Real upscaling: characters, enemies, SV battlers, pictures → actual detail gain, on-screen size automatically compensated (nothing changes visually in dimension).
Same-size smoothing: tilesets, parallax, battlebacks (optional) → softens jagged edges, dimensions and camera strictly unchanged.
By default: tilesets and characters enabled, everything else off (enable whatever you need in the parameters).
RENDERING SETTINGS
scaleFactor (2 or 4): smoothing intensity for maps, upscale strength for sprites.
colorTolerance: sets whether the algorithm treats close/dithered colors as identical or not — tune it to your own art style (no universal value).
sharpenAmount: sharpness added after smoothing. Above 0.75, slight risk of halo on very high-contrast areas.
enableAutoShading + shadingIntensity: amplifies existing contrast. Never invents light, never touches hue.
colorPopAmount: makes colors more vivid, without ever changing their hue.
enableAutoShadow + shadowOpacity: contact shadow under enemies/pictures, generated from their silhouette (this category only).
excludeMapObjects: img/characters files prefixed with “!” (doors, chests…) stay at their original size.
renderDensity (1, 2, or 4): forces the engine to render internally at a higher resolution while keeping the exact same screen size, ensuring the extra upscaled details are actually visible.
TILE ANIMATOR
Animate any tile from the B/C/D/E tabs (torches, flags, decor…), not just the engine’s native A1 water.
On first playtest, a tile_animations.txt file is automatically created in the cache folder, with a template explaining how to find your tile’s tab/position in the editor.
One line = one animated tile: tab, position, frame count, speed (fps), direction (normal or ping-pong), and optionally which maps it applies to. Config errors are automatically detected and explained (console + on-screen). Editing the file requires a playtest restart to take effect.
PROTECTION GLOSSARY
Some images (logos, finished artwork, high-resolution illustrations) should never be touched by the plugin. The glossaire.txt file, automatically created in the cache folder on first playtest, lets you permanently exclude them.
One line = one protected file name (with or without extension).
End a line with an asterisk (*) to protect a whole prefix at once (every file starting with that name).
Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
Works regardless of category (characters, enemies, pictures…).
Empty by default — nothing is protected until you add something.
CACHE
Each image is processed only once, instant reload afterward. Nothing gets reprocessed unless something changes.
INSTALLATION
Add the plugin to js/plugins/, enable it.
Set the parameters to your needs.
Playtest — automatic generation on first launch.
