Hey Product Hunt :wave: I’m Bernard, maker of PixelForge. I built PixelForge because putting a real person into a game should be way easier than hiring an artist, wrestling with prompts, or settling for a generic avatar. PixelForge lets you upload a photo and turn someone into a game-style character in seconds — useful for indie games, mockups, profile art, gifts, RPG characters, and honestly just making your friends look like they belong in a tiny boss fight. What makes it fun: - Upload a real photo - Generate a stylized game character - Use style references to control the look - Iterate fast instead of starting from scratch - Make something personal, not generic AI slop This is still early, so I’d love feedback from designers, game devs, pixel art fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to see themselves as a playable character. What should we add next: sprite sheets, animations, more styles, or game-engine exports?
