SpriteDX — Feature Freeze (Freeze-1)
We are entering Feature Freeze.
This means we are temporarily stopping all new features and focusing only on what is required to turn SpriteDX into a product people can pay for and trust.
Goal:
Close the money loop and make SpriteDX a real, reliable asset service.
What Feature Freeze means
During Freeze-1 we will only work on:
MUST-HAVE before charging money
Cloud asset storage
Every generated image is saved server-side
Tied to the user account
Downloadable at any time
Reference image upload
Users can bring their own characters or templates
Used as generation input
Generation history
A simple list or gallery of past generations
Thumbnails + download links
Credit-based billing
- Stripe → credits → generation → deduction → block when empty
Honest UI
Remove File / Project menus
Remove dead or non-functional buttons
No UI that implies features that don’t exist
Clear data ownership
Users know their assets are stored and safe
Free vs paid retention handled server-side
Explicitly out of scope for Freeze-1
These are paused until SpriteDX is proven:
Multiple pipelines (pets, cars, houses, etc)
Pipeline editing tools
Custom pipeline listings
Marketplaces, sharing, or community
Machi or world-building features
Complex project/file systems
Retention policy
Free users: assets auto-deleted after X days or X items
Paid users: assets retained long-term
Policy documented in Terms
Definition of success
Freeze-1 is done when:
A stranger can:
Sign up
Upload or prompt
Generate assets
See them saved
Download them
Run out of credits
Pay to continue
With no broken flows and no fake features.
Wish me luck!
