Game dev building - the place for generating anything pixel art

[Kimo @asynkimo]

Agents can now create and animate sprites for your vibe coded game

> Connect any MCP capable agent
> Tell it what to make, it can do single requests or create multiple at once
> The agent can inspect the results, regenerate as needed
> You keep full control over quality and style

I've made a ton of game assets while testing SpriteCook, and decided to release them for FREE

It's a growing GitHub repo of animated pixel art characters, tilesets, and lots more. Hope they're useful to some of you

Everything's CC0, so do whatever you want with them

All made with SpriteCook. I also set up a page where you can browse everything, download what you like, or open the example to make your own https://t.co/ygD3bajhZf

How to use SpriteCook & Godot to generate a game from scratch without coding or drawing

Great video by @LettaCorp where he shows the basics of how he created his game 👇

@_maogeng Hey this is cool!

Thanks for sharing

[Kimo @asynkimo]

@techinevolution 100% you can easily ask your AI to make something similar

It's just a simple addon in my ai asset generation app, so I can check directly w/o having to export or anything

[Kimo @asynkimo]

added a small but powerful tool that lets me check if AI-generated textures are actually seamless

saves me a ton of time, because now I can verify it instantly instead of finding out later inside the game engine

[Kimo @asynkimo]

@lingqukan @boona11 That's exactly what I've been experimenting with yes, first have it create the UI themed and relevant to your game. And then try to have it breakdown the individual elements

[Kimo @asynkimo]

@fe_yukichi That's awesome! I've made something similar, it also uses a custom animation model so the animations loop properly

AI can now create full spritesheet animations in any style, and export directly to any game engine 🔥

in this case I create a detailed tiny paladin character with 1 prompt

select all the animations I need, wait for generation, and export directly as a Roblox Studio project

More about how below 👇

@boxmining @claudeai Use Codex, you can't burn through usage because

@DrTBehrens It does!

For pixel art just change the style prompt, or use it via spritecook and switch to pixel mode:

Finally figured out how to create 8-directional character pose sheets consistently using GPT Image 2.0!

This generates the character from scratch, but you can also give a reference image first

Works okay for pixel art too, though detailed is more reliable

Full prompt below👇

@DrTBehrens It does, but works WAY better if you slice first and animate individually

This was my experiment doing it all at once, not great

Use in Codex / ChatGPT:

"Create a single image showing the same character in 8 facing directions.

Subject: Anime style sorcerer woman

Layout:
- arrange the character in a 3x3 grid
- leave the center grid cell empty
- place exactly 8 full-body character views in the outer cells
- one character per cell
- each character centered in its own cell
- equal spacing between all characters

Critical orientation rule:
- every character must face outward away from the empty center cell
- each sprite must point toward its own outer edge or outer corner of the canvas
- interpret directions only relative to the image canvas, not the character’s own left or right side

Exact facing directions by cell:
- top-left: back-left diagonal view, facing toward the upper-left corner of the image
- top-center: back view, facing straight toward the top edge of the image
- top-right: back-right diagonal view, facing toward the upper-right corner of the image
- middle-left: left side view, facing straight toward the left edge of the image
- middle-right: right side view, facing straight toward the right edge of the image
- bottom-left: front-left diagonal view, facing toward the lower-left corner of the image
- bottom-center: front view, facing straight toward the bottom edge of the image
- bottom-right: front-right diagonal view, facing toward the lower-right corner of the image

Very important visual distinction:
- the top row must show the back-facing set
- the middle row must show the side-facing set
- the bottom row must show the front-facing set
- bottom-center must clearly show the face and front of the outfit/body
- bottom-left and bottom-right must clearly be front diagonals, not back diagonals
- top-left and top-right must clearly be back diagonals, not front diagonals

Consistency requirements:
- all 8 views must show the exact same character
- keep the same clothing, colors, proportions, scale, and design details in every view
- keep the same silhouette and overall design in every view
- the front of the character must point in the exact direction assigned to each cell
- diagonal views must be true diagonal rotations
- do not mirror or duplicate views
- do not swap left and right directions
- each view must be full-body and clearly separated

Style:
- clean 2D game art
- non-pixel art
- smooth shapes
- simple cel shading
- readable silhouette
- plain or transparent background
- no text
- no labels
- no arrows
- no UI"

@HadesXhadesuwu It's about 0.20 cents per animation?

I'd love to see 1 example of animated pixel art using gpt image 2

[Kimo @asynkimo]

Someone made a game where ALL the plants can catch on fire 🌱🔥

So I asked them how they did it, and the workflow was suprisingly simple

> Generate a 5x5 grid of foliage
> Use as a reference to put them in burning state
> Animate the burning plants
> Slice the animation & implement in the engine

The prompt he used (Nano Banana 2):
"Create a set of small ground assets (grass variations, rocks, flowers, and simple foliage) 5 by 5 grid"

With this preset to get similar results:
