Could you build this?
Partial The 2D pixel editor, animation tools, and tileset generator are browser-codeable. Native plugins for Unity, Godot, and Unreal, plus real-time tangent-space normal mapping and lighting, need engine-specific C#, C++, and GPU shader expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a web-based pixel and animation editor in canvas or WebGL, with procedural generators for tiles and characters. Normal map generation needs shader work for tangent-space lighting, then export pipelines for each engine's import format. Maintaining engine plugins requires engine-specific developers and testing across Unity, Godot, and Unreal versions.
