Collision built in
Walkable, slow and blocked ground, depth and object ids come out with every map. Nothing to trace by hand.
Game art by your agent. pixling-perfect.
Not an image model.
Game assets, written as code.
Your agent writes the shapes, materials and timing. pixling renders every pixel, with collision, frames and layers built in. Any change is one line.
One world, one palette
Every asset draws from the style's locked colours, light and outline. A thousand sprites still belong together.
roof: plumRecolour in one line
Swap a material, a roof shape or a season. Variants are edits, not rerolls, and the rest stays identical.
Exact size, crisp at any zoom
Sprites come out at the size your game asks for, on one pixel grid, with an anchor point. No mushy downscaling.
Turns, walks and acts
Eight directions and every animation frame stay on model, because they are rendered from the same source.
Same input, same pixels
Byte-identical every build, so art lives in git, diffs are reviewable and nothing drifts between sessions.

How it works
You ask. Your agent picks a pipeline and a style, programs the art, checks it like an artist and ships it.
A harbour town for my game that lights up at dusk.

Say what your game needs
A town, a creature, a spell, a whole new look. In your words, in the chat you already use.
02 · choose
It picks a pipeline and a look
Before it draws, your agent reads two things: the pipeline that fits the job, with the lessons we learned the hard way, and the style's making-of, with its hand, its kit and its lab notes.
spec → spriteskit → iso sceneliving mapseffectsAI video → framesBlender → painterlynew style
03 · build
It programs the art
No image model here. Your agent writes shapes on bones, materials from the style and the timing of each frame, and pixling renders them pixel by pixel.
04 · look
It looks, like an artist would
It renders, then looks: up close at the pixels, then zoomed out at game scale beside the rest of the set. It names the one thing that doesn't read, fixes it with the style's own colours and renders again, until it holds up. Lints only hint; the eye decides.

Game-ready, layer by layer
Sprite sheets, animation timing, collision, depth and lighting for every hour, straight into your repo.
A pipeline for every kind of game art
Sprites, living maps, effects, motion from AI video and painterly scenes. Each one comes with the know-how, ready for your agent to run.
Every hour of the day
Windows light one by one as the sun goes down. A light file comes with it for your engine.
Eight directions
One creature, every facing, on held keys.
Ruins that rebuild
Ruin, four building stages and finished, all from one spec.
→Motion from AI video
Generate a take, then key it, cut it and lock it into a sprite sheet that matches your game.
Not only pixels
Painterly scenes rendered in Blender, with swaying trees and paddling ducks.
Effects that land
Slashes, bursts and lightning in your style's colours. Tap one.
A look of your own
The recipe that found these three styles, ready for your agent to run again.
A growing catalogue of styles
Four looks so far, each with its own camera, shading, line and kit, and the notes on how it was made, so your agent can reuse one or build its own. More are on the way.
Three steps. Then just ask.
01
Install pixling
Free. Python 3.9 or newer. One command.
02
Bring your own agent
Run it in your game's repo. It adds the skill and a short note your agent reads, whichever agent you use.
03
Ask for art
Start with one asset and look at it together.
Make one building for our village in a pixling style that fits the game, and show me the review image before you make more.
Go make a world.
pixling is open source. Read the engine, the docs and every style's lab notes, or add a style of your own.
