I wanted to share a workflow I’ve been using in ComfyUI for generating consistent animations from LoRAs.

I’m using this in a real project — a historical game set during the Hussite Wars — mainly to prototype systems quickly before committing to final assets.

It could also animate objects, not just characters in every single. Every Lora is trained for different position so these consistent and it does not mess up anything.

And then you download it frame by frame with no background at all I hope this help

Do you guys have any questions? Please ask.

The reason why i am doing this is because I hate those payed corporations they just steal your money while you could do the exact same thing locally

Yesterday I shared Texel Studio here.
An AI agent that places pixels one at a time using real drawing tools, not diffusion.

The response was WAY BIGGER than I expected. Thank you, geniunely, for all the stars and feedback :)

Since then I've been pushing a lot of features and now there's a hosted version at texel.studio so people can use it without setting up Python, API keys, and a local server.

  What hasn't changed:

  - The engine is the same open source agent — not diffusion, not approximation

  - Every pixel placed intentionally from your palette

  - Concept art reference → agent painting → chat refinement → export

 
What's new in the cloud version:

  - Sign up, get 5 free credits daily, start generating immediately

  - Generations saved to your account — pick up where you left off

  - Chat with the agent to refine sprites after generation

  - Share palettes and sprites to a public gallery

  - Credit costs vary by model and sprite size — you pick the tradeoff

The engine is still fully open source and self-hostable: https://github.com/EYamanS/texel-studio

The cloud version just removes the setup friction. One-command local setup is also available now

  (./start.sh).

Would love feedback on the cloud version. Especially the generation quality and the studio UX.

Hello everyone,

I posted my Diablo 2 build yesterday, and thought I'd share some more games I'm trying to build (with the correct flair this time),

This is a farm simulator where the goal is to survive 10 nights, and build up your farm with plants, animals and food to survive. I started this morning and this is how far I am so far

Happy so share some prompts that got me started! (I'll post an update later on my Diablo 2 ARPG progress)

I’m really happy that my last post was able to help people. I honestly did not expect it to get so much attention.

Since so many of you liked my last post, I wanted to share something else I’ve been working on that I think is really interesting. I’ve been making character splash art and hero reveal posters with AI as well. I’m still testing it, but so far it works well for existing characters. It can also be used to create own custom character.

Right now, I’m also working on improving the prompt so it can use reference images of characters too. I’m also trying to make each hero pose more unique for each character, because at the moment the poses can look too similar, and I have to do multiple retries to get a different one.

Just wanted to share my progress. I hope you all like it.

Also, most of this was generated with Nanobanana2, and a few were made with NBP :)

And for those asking after my last post. I do not plan to make a game. I do not have the motivation to make a game by myself. For now, I’m just going to keep experimenting with image models.

Building a creature collector with Claude Code and hit a wall with sprite animations. Here's the current battle system for context:

• I've been using Ludo.ai for character sprites — 500+ generations at this point. Got walk cycles for bosses and breathing animations on NPCs, but it still feels stiff. The creatures in battle are just static PNGs with SVG effects layered around them (electric arcs, glows, particles) to compensate.

  Anyone found AI tools or workflows that are good for:

  - Generating frame-by-frame sprite sheets from existing character art?

  - Idle or attack animations that stay style-consistent?

  - Improving walk cycles beyond what Ludo outputs?

Open to any suggestions on the battle UI too if anything jumps out from the clip. What tools are you all using for sprite work?

I make the preview:

-I share some sprites that I draw handle to hand to Gemini

-Gemini created a prompt

-I used the prompt

>A 2D retro video game pixel art sprite of a dark spectral creature. The creature is made of solid black shadows with dripping neon green energy and glowing neon green eyes. Minimalist 8-bit style, clean perfect pixel lines, no anti-aliasing, and simple cell shading. The character is completely isolated on a pure solid white background. 64x64 low resolution aesthetic.

Hi all, I've been working on this for a while, it's a web app that generates pixel art sprites from text prompts or reference images. You describe what you want (or upload existing art to edit/recolor) and it outputs a clean transparent sprite with proper outlines, limited palette, etc..

Some of the features:
- Text to sprite (describe anything, get a game-ready sprite back)                                              
- Image to pixel art (upload any image, it converts and cleans it up)                                           
- Edit mode - upload existing pixel art and modify/recolor it                                                         
- Live sliders for size, palette, contrast, outline (basically tweak without re-generating)         
- Multiple detail levels for how complex you want the output                                                        

Built it because I got tired of manually cleaning up AI output in Aseprite every time I needed a quick placeholder or prototype sprite. The post-processing pipeline handles background removal, colour quantisation, outline normalisation etc automatically.

It's free to try (3 generations, no card needed, if you like it lmk and I'll add you more credits): https://spritelab.dev

Would appreciate any feedback

Thoughts on the sound effects? Quite happy with the soundtrack, happy so share the prompt!

The music changes based on where the player is on the map - so it's area gated and dynamic

Hello!

I am looking for users willing to playtest my end-to-end product. Reply here for a formal invite and extensive information.

Game has full destruction, even the terrain is deformable/destructible. The game is a grand total of 627KB uncompressed without the music included.

I will upload the new version of the game in the coming days. :-)
