The article compares several AI image generation models for creating game assets: spaceships, enemy slimes, NPC mobs, boss ships, and effects. The tasks are same reference and prompt for all models. Nano Banana Pro wins in spaceship generation, Nano Banana 2 best captures the slime boss's melancholy, Grok Image produces the most sprite sheets for NPC mobs, and Krea 2 provides the best boss ship despite simple minimalism. Overall, Nano Banana Pro and Grok Image are preferred.
The author tests AI models for generating game assets: spaceships, enemy slimes, NPC mobs, boss ships, and special effects. Models tested: Seedream 5.0, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, Grok Image, and Krea 2. For a spaceship based on a reference, Nano Banana Pro best matched the intended pixel-art style. For the alien slime boss, Nano Banana 2 correctly interpreted the prompt without explicit mention of gloominess. For NPC mob sprite sheets, Grok Image provided multiple frames generously. For the boss ship, Krea 2 produced a result with minimalism that matched the dark background well. For additional sprites (explosions, lasers, smoke), Grok Image again produced generous output. Overall, the author considers Nano Banana Pro and Grok Image as top performers, while Krea 2 performed worst due to literal interpretation of references.
