I trained a pixel art spritesheet LoRA on FLUX.2 Klein base 4B. For a first attempt using small sprites, I think it's pretty good.
First 3 rows are text-to-image. Last row uses edit workflow with image references.

Best of luck on your games.If you'd like a free-to-use and COMPLETELY open-source MORPG engine, check out Intersect, an engine created from scratch in C#! Feel free to stop by our forums if you have any questions or more resources, as we have a great community and would love to see you apart of it! We accept active projects involving game development across the board. >>Boom

Sadly, the actual spritesheets from this LoRA are just too messy. Prompt adherence is pretty good, but I think the dataset and the fact that Z-Image Turbo is distilled make the pixels noisy and inconsistent. Or maybe 64x64 sprites are just too large and more prone to issues.
In the process of training pixel art spritesheet LoRAs, I've noticed that Z-Image Turbo is capable of more general images like portraits, even though the dataset is purely spritesheets.
Sample images at 64x64 and 128x128 (same post-processing steps for all: k-centroid downscale, palettize).
I trained a Z-Image pixel art LoRA just for testing purposes. Even though it's a distilled model (and my dataset is rough), results are not too bad with a little post-processing.
The Steam Frame looks really cool. It's another step towards a fully open source VR headset.
I made a ComfyUI custom node for using the Retro Diffusion API in your workflows, and it's now published to the Comfy Registry.
