Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
sprite-gen

This plugin acts as a creative director — it asks about your art style, view angle, and game context before crafting an optimized prompt for Gemini. Supports single sprite generation, anchor-frame based sprite sheets, and sprite management (list, delete, organize). Uses Gemini subscription via browser cookie authentication, no API key needed.
BlenderLens
MCP server that lets AI agents build, check, preview and export game assets in Blender
