SpriteCook

Generate animated sprites for your game with AI

What it does

SpriteCook is an AI pixel art studio made for game devs. Tell it what you need and it generates sprites, characters, items, tilesets, and animations all in a matching style. Works with Unity, Godot, Phaser, or anything that takes PNGs. You can even plug it into your coding agent (Cursor, Claude, VS Code) so assets get made while you build. 2,000+ devs already on board. Free to start.

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
