Well I wouldn't think there would be any license issues with an equation, not that Adobe would'nt try that. I mean your just adjusting rgb levels.
Cool fx, I can see some definite uses for it, especially for using grayscale.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Sounds good, you could do several different things, like use just one sprite, then paste it into a canvas.
Probably a ton of interesting things you can do with fx as well.
I figured there would be some issues with rendering, that's a lot of sprites to generate. Have you thought about just having it output to some kind of array? That would allow the user to use different objects, like canvas, or even minimap. Plus you wouldn't have to render it all at one time, and you could use several small tiles instead of one big one. Of course tile-ability would come into play with that.
Well then perhaps Arima's suggestion might be best. Although it seems the blur mask fx is limited to about 25 pixels.
Is this an fx?
All of which can be accomplished with a decent image editor. So unless there's another function to crop said sheets at runtime, this is all pointless.... imho. Its just another proverbial easy button, best suited for something like Stencyl.

Love your graphics, Slasher Boy looks quite emo.
That looks great! I too would love to get my hands on it.
To bad you cant do any graphics stuff with python, there are a ton of ui modules out there.
Then again it probably wouldn't take much to make a plug for Construct either.
That would depend on what all you wanted to do..... aside from the layout object, just about any controls you want to make up are doable, a bit contrived, but defiantly doable.

Well it has one (I guess) unintended benefit. Since Construct is open source any one can compile the program, package it as their own then sell it.... as long as the source code is included. But since you need the proprietary library, any one who intended to do that would be stuck with having to pay for that license first.
Sounds more like you want the camera to move, not the background.
No. More like magic pink.
