Could you build this?
Partial The chat-to-sprite-sheet workflow and export are buildable by wrapping image or video generation APIs, but producing consistent, game-ready animated pixel art and clean transparency requires custom post-processing or a specialized model.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a text-to-image or video model, a pixel-art quantization and palette step, frame-consistency handling, and exporters for sprite sheets and Godot. The hard parts are making animations loop cleanly and keep the style consistent across frames. This benefits from a fine-tuned pixel-art model and a graphics background to tune the pipeline.
