What SpriteStack is
SpriteStack is a voxel editor for 2D artists making game objects in a handcrafted retro style. Its sprite-stacking workflow builds each model slice by slice, supporting units, characters, and buildings with a 1990s game look. The editor includes animation tools, although its keyframe-oriented animation is described as experimental. Exports include spritesheets, slices, and VOX files, with customizable retro-style renders. Models from MagicaVoxel or Qubicle can be imported and rendered in SpriteStack. A single model is limited to 128×128×128 voxels. SpriteStack runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web, with a browser editor available at spritestack.io/studio. The listed version 3.24 downloads cover Windows, macOS, and Linux. It costs 30.00 USD once, with a Steam key included, and purchase is required to download. Users have reported VOX export problems in version 3.24.
