Pixelfork is an AI-assisted animation tool designed to empower individuals without art skills to create games. Founded in February 2025 by Farid and Zaur, the company was born out of the frustration of spending two hours animating six frames of a character's running cycle. Seeking an AI solution for animating and generating pixel art characters, they developed their own LoRA and ControlNet. Pixelfork now offers a full-scale, game-ready asset generation tool that significantly saves developers time and money, boasting a 100x speed improvement. The company emphasizes transparency in its development phases and engages with its community through Discord, Reddit, and Twitter.
