Introducing... Script Slayer! The World's First Medieval ASCII Artwork Software

ASCII artwork has been around for decades and you've probably seen 100 different boring ASCII tools this year alone that all follow the exact same bare minimum format. I always knew we would do ASCII, but I am not equipped to handle the embarrassment of launching an ASCII app in 2026, so we're doing it differently...

Script Slayer was built different with a sick as hell Medieval theme, character sets that look amazing, and controls that feel bespoke.

Instead of treating ASCII as a novelty effect, Script Slayer gives you actual control over the characters you're rendering with. You can work with traditional ASCII if you want to, but you're just as free to render using Unicode symbols, braille, arrows, geometric shapes, or inject custom character sets. If you want your artwork to be made from your own name, your own initials, or just a few repeating characters you can do that too.

Every character set can be animated, rendered on video or image, paired with custom color palettes, saved as presets, or exported as TXT files, making it easy to build your own workflow rather than starting from scratch every time.

But the Best Part Is... Script Slayer comes BUILT IN to Dither Boy 6.1 at no extra cost

Script Slayer isn't a separate purchase, if you already have Dither Boy it's all yours in update 6.1

Over the next few weeks and months I'll be publishing tutorials, presets, and free downloads here for Script Slayer, but you can already use it with ANY of the Dither Boy downloads or tutorials.
