IN THE GAME
See the assets as a game.
Explore gameplay, handheld use, and coordinated designs. These AI-generated concepts illustrate visual possibilities; review your own assets and engine imports before shipping.
A closer look at handheld play
Check how the same game scene reads on a handheld screen, from the character to the smallest interface icons.
From a matching set to a complete town
Review how terrain, buildings, and props work together as an inhabited level.
Three characters, three game worlds
Compare different character designs inside the game worlds they are designed for.
Try the scene at your desk
See the character, world, and interface together at desktop play size.
01 / THE SYSTEM
One production contract for one playable character.
A practical example
Follow one asset from source to export
Use a concrete input, inspect the output, and check the current limits before choosing your next step.
Example input
Start with the downloadable eight-frame demo, or bring artwork you have permission to use.
What to check
- Slice the 128 × 64 demo into eight 32 × 32 cells and review the frame order.
- Pack the separate frames at four columns to reconstruct a 128 × 64 atlas with JSON coordinates.
- Resize a copy at 4× for a 512 × 256 preview, then check your engine's texture and animation settings before import.
Expected output
A repeatable local workflow with a known source grid, explicit output dimensions, and files you can inspect.
Current limits
Local utilities transform existing artwork. Labs explores concepts, and Character Studio provides a separate structured character workflow; each output still needs review for your game.
Official workflow references
Check the engine or editor documentation when preparing your own import. These sources describe file and playback behavior, not an endorsement of PixelBox.

Free for utility. Credits for generation.
Costs appear before each AI run. Review, local fixes, playable validation, PNG/JSON, and engine exports do not add another paywall. A concept preview uses 150 credits and a first-pass character build uses 300 credits, with or without a reference. New accounts start with 600 signup credits: this path uses 450 and leaves 150. Regeneration uses additional credits. Project history currently stays in this browser, so export important work as a backup.

What are PixelBox pixel game tools?
A studio for game-ready pixel work: Character Studio ships reviewed sprite packs, free utilities slice and pack sheets locally, and Labs pages preview tilesets, items, UI, and VFX as one concept image.
Start with the AI sprite sheet generator, cut existing art in the sprite sheet slicer, or read the best pixel game tools 2026 guide before choosing a workflow. Godot and Unity teams can also use the dedicated engine guides.
