Products that do what I made an AI pixel art generator for game devs does
It works by using open AIs new gpt-image API, image processing algorithms and some prompt engineering. Still has some limitations, but can already generate ready to use assets.

Hi HN, I'm excited to share a project I've built: PixelateImage.org. Instead of being a traditional image editor, this is an *AI-powered tool that generates pixel art directly from your text prompts.* If you've ever wanted to create unique pixel art characters, scenes, or assets for games, art projects, or just for fun, but perhaps lacked the specific artistic skills or time, this might be for you. My goal was to make generating retro-style or modern pixel art more accessible. You can type in a description (e.g., "a brave knight in a dark forest," "a futuristic cityscape at night," "a cute…

Hey Hacker News, thought I'd share an open-source tool I recently released for generating pixel art with AI. All models are trained on royalty free / CC0 datasets /w permission from the owners! Let me know if you have any feedback. Eager to see what you create! Feel free to tag me on twitter @dparksdev if you create something cool.

I tried to build AI game animation generator last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40395221), a lot of people were interested, but it failed, mainly because the technology was not good enough. 1 year passed, there were a lot of developments in video/image generation. I tried it again, I think it works super well now. Actually beyond my expectation. You can generate all kinds of game character animation sprites with only 1 image. 1, upload your image of your character 2, choose the action you want 3, generate! Support basic actions like Run, Jump, Punch and…

Hello HN - like a lot of programmers, I am really excited by everything going on with ChatGPT/DALL-E. I am a game developer by trade, and I think there is a lot of potential to change workflows for game development. I was very inspired by Keijiro Takahashi's prototypes for asset generation using OpenAI within Unity, so I tried to make a more generic means of generating text and image assets within the Unity Editor using OpenAI's APIs. I've been surprised by the success so far - it definitely has it's limits, but I think we have just begun to scratch the surface of the potential here.

This project is a simple but fun demonstration of a genetic algorithm applied to image generation. It starts with a population of random images and evolves them over generations to resemble a target image. The output is an animated GIF that shows the entire evolution process.
