FAQ
- Can AI pixel art replace hand-drawn sprites?
- Usually not for final shipping art. AI is excellent for prototypes, placeholders, and reference conversion.
- What resolution should I target?
- Match your game camera: 16×16–32×32 for classic platformers, higher for HD pixel art. Keep palettes small for consistency.
