GameBoy Sprite Wizard-AI-powered sprite generation tool

Example

A user can input a description of a character, object, or scene, and the tool will generate a pixel art image resembling the classic Game Boy style. For instance, if a user wants to create an 8-bit wizard character, they can describe its features, and the Wizard will generate a low-resolution pixel art of that character.

Scenario

This is useful for game developers looking to quickly prototype character designs or mockups for retro-themed games.

Example

Once an image is generated or imported, the tool checks whether the sprite is compatible with Game Boy Color’s graphical restrictions, including tile size, resolution, and color limitations. For instance, if a sprite exceeds the 4-color per tile limit, the tool will flag this and offer solutions to reduce colors.

Scenario

Game developers who need to ensure their art assets adhere to the strict constraints of Game Boy hardware can use this feature to validate their designs before implementing them in games.

Example

The Wizard allows users to reduce the number of colors in an image to the GBC's 4-color limit per tile and even offers palette swapping, where a predefined or user-defined palette can be applied. For example, a generated sprite can be remapped to the standard Game Boy grayscale palette.

Scenario

This function is especially useful for artists looking to design custom palettes for their game, as they can test various color combinations and ensure compatibility without having to manually adjust each tile.
