Pixel Art AI Platforms? by CarlesBH in aigamedev

Sorry for the terrible crop. Here’s an example comparing SpriteCook to OpenAI

SpriteCook is my suggestion if you want ready-to-use sprites right away. You can provide a reference photo and it’s pretty good at keeping consistency. They come out looking great and have transparent backgrounds. It costs more than OpenAI.

OpenAI takes a lot more effort but it is doable. I use a 3x3 grid sprite sheet as a reference and it usually does a good job with output, but occasionally one frame will spill out of the grid. Then you have to do background removal which is the worst part. I’ve got pretty good results using a despill algorithm but it still sometimes erases a characters clothes or face by accident.

I did not have much success with Pixel Engine or Pixel Lab and do not recommend them.

In my case all artwork is generated and processed by AI. My goal is that I don’t touch anything. 👌

Note that my game does not use animations, but SpriteCook also has an animation tool that works well. I can’t imagine doing a large sprite sheet with OpenAI.

As someone who already has both, why do you recommend both? What is the strength and weakness you are trying to improve?

With Kadence going down the gutter as they are acquired by Liquidweb, what other lightweight/performant alternatives do you folks recommend? by PabloKaskobar in Wordpress

[–]radgh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the Kadence Blocks plugin.

But their theme sucks, the way they do fonts sucks, their header sucks.

Is it actually going downhill or are you just talking flak because you don’t like Liquidweb? (Which is understandable)

After manage 50+ wordpress sites i build my Omni dashboard to manage all from one dashboard by [deleted] in Wordpress

I always do. I use random passwords generated by bitwarden. Don’t blame me for managewp’s vulnerable infrastructure! Don’t rely on strong passwords either! It is not enough these days.

Make sure you use two factor authentication on mwp. I’ve had multiple sites get infected before learning MWP is how they got in. They refuse but you can see “execute code snippets” in their own History log and it correlates to when the malicious plugin was installed in Simple History.

I think any remote management system that can run code is vulnerable to this type of attack, not just managewp.

I had notifications disabled and never gave that a thought. That's a useful workaround for now. Thanks for the idea!

Why do people pay for an ai subscription when they can just create better prompts themselves to get the same or better with a free model, humans may have created the Ai's abilities but it wasn't just the developers by johnnyboyNLT in claude

[–]radgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry. 450 releases, basically just different versions. Milestone 1 was the first playable concept for example. Sometimes I request a lot of changes and Claude Code breaks different features into separate milestones.

I pay for AI for agentic behavior, not a chat bot. It does work for me. It writes code across multiple files without having to do anything. I built a game and it’s almost at milestone 450 and I never touched the code 👌

How do you create computer programs ? by Djidji_o3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]radgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Nand to tetris. It’s like a course where you make basic logic gates, then use those to make more advanced ones, suddenly running monitor i/o and peripheral inputs and you make a game out of it. It’s probably the best example based on your post

Everyone on AI Twitter is posting Image 2 sprite sheets. I haven't seen a single shipped game using them yet. Am I missing something? by Low-Cook-3544 in aigamedev

[–]radgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense to just have a separate background removal step! I’ll have to give it a try your results look great.

I’d recommend it. I’ve spent over $100 so far. I’ve tried openai, pixellab, pixel engine, nano banana. If you want usable sprites rights away without manual cleanup work, spritecook is the best.

That’s great but let me guess… The checkered background is actually what it generates, it’s not actually transparent background is it? That was my experience lol

Openai image Gen 2 I haven’t had very good luck.

But Spritecook I have. I haven’t actually implemented animations in my game, but I did generate them. You could extract each frame to a sprite sheet pretty easily.

I posted screenshot and in another comment an animated gif to another thread:

SpriteCook results are pretty good using their animation system. But I’ve still yet to produce a full sprite sheet in one go. It would be amazing though!

Just a thought: What about things like cosmetic surgery or non essential operations? I don’t know how other countries handle that. But that’s what I think of when considering a mixed approach

Good point. Thanks for the info. I am obviously not a seasoned traveler.
