I’m trying to make some images like the art in “Starmaker Story”. Right now it’s just for fun and personal interest, but I might take it further later.

I heard the dev might be using AI for the characters or maybe the backgrounds, but I’m not 100% sure. What I do know is that their pixel art looks way more alive and dynamic than anything I’ve gotten from AI tools so far. I’ve tried a couple sites, but the results just don’t feel as polished or animated.

If anyone knows how they might be doing it, I’d really appreciate the help. Specifically, I’m curious about:
  • How they generate the base art (with AI or not),
  • How they turn it into pixel art,
  • And how they animate it (in Unity or anywhere else) to make it feel so alive.
Like I said, this is for personal use at the moment, but I’ve been getting into 3D stuff in Blender too, so I might want to take it further. If there’s anything else I should be aware of, feel free to point it out!
