November update: rewards, invites and new plan prices

Rewards and invites are live with free credits for active players, new subscribers get new plan prices, and the Free plan keeps 10 saved assets from December 14.

The nine SpriteCook level badges in pixel art, from wood and stone up to gold, ruby, emerald and a winged diamond badge

Our Discord just passed 2,000 members. Thank you! A lot of what's in SpriteCook started as a message in there.

This update has four parts: rewards and invites, new prices for new subscribers, a storage change for the Free plan, and a reminder about the Chroma Awards.

Rewards are live

The SpriteCook Rewards page with a level 17 badge, the XP bar to the next level, three weekly quests and the weekly chest

You now get XP for making things. Every day you create counts, and so do three small weekly quests and a card of firsts, like your first animation or your first tileset. From level 3, every level adds free credits. Finish all three weekly quests and the chest opens for 20 credits.

The weekly reward chest opening and spilling out coins
Your past work counts. If you made something in the last 30 days, you get the credits for the levels you'd already reached, up to 300. They're in your balance now.

Credits from rewards never expire. Open Rewards in the sidebar to see your level and this week's quests. The rewards post lists every level, perk and badge.

Invite friends

Your invite link is at the bottom of the Rewards page. A friend who signs up through it gets 20% off their first month of any monthly plan.

You get 25 credits when they make their first asset, and 150 to 1,000 credits when they subscribe, depending on the plan. The subscription reward arrives 14 days after their first payment. The FAQ has the limits and the fine print.

New plan prices

New subscribers now get these plans:

Pixel art swordsman with a backpack, the Starter plan character
Starter
$12 a month
1,000 credits a month, or $115 a year
Pixel art hooded rogue with a dagger, the Adventurer plan character
Adventurer
$30 a month
3,000 credits a month, or $288 a year
Pixel art bearded wizard with a glowing staff, the Archmage plan character
Archmage
$100 a month
12,000 credits a month, or $960 a year

Before this, Starter was $8 for 800 credits and Archmage was $70 for 7,000. Adventurer stays the same. Top-up credits are still 1 cent each with any plan. Without a plan they're now 1.2 cents.

Already subscribed? Nothing changes for you. You keep your price and your monthly credits for as long as you stay subscribed. The new prices only apply if you switch plans or subscribe again after cancelling.

Everything side by side is on the pricing page.

Free plan: 10 saved assets from December 14

From Monday, December 14, the Free plan keeps up to 10 saved assets. A pack or a UI kit counts as one. Paid plans have no limit.

Nothing gets deleted. If you have more than 10, you keep all of them and can still download everything. You just can't save new ones until you're back under 10 or on a plan. The undo for background removal also gets a time limit per plan. Saved assets and storage has the details.

Chroma Awards: $500 for the best SpriteCook game

The Chroma Awards are open until January 7. There's a $500 SpriteCook Award for the best game made with SpriteCook, so tag SpriteCook as one of your tools when you submit. Game ideas and the rules are in the Chroma Awards post.

See you in the Discord!
