Prompt template
I'm making a pixel-art game; the setting is (describe the scene, e.g., cyberpunk night market / medieval dungeon), and I need to generate (characters/scenes/props/tilesets). Write 5 sets of English image prompts, each including: pixel-art style keywords, resolution spec (e.g., 32x32/64x64 sprite), color direction, viewpoint (side/top/isometric), and detail description; plus a set of "style-consistency words" shared by all assets, to ensure the generated assets look coherent together in one scene. Finally, explain the design rationale of each prompt set in Chinese.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into Retro Diffusion or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
