Halftone print
Riso and newsprint logic: no continuous tone at all, just dot screens of two or three inks that slip slightly out of register.
What to look at
- 01Visible dot screen instead of smooth tone
- 02Two or three spot inks, no full colour
- 03Ink layers slightly out of register
Prompts
The prompts stay in English on purpose: image models read English best, so translating them only costs you quality. Paste them as they are.
Character prompt
Goes in the Style field of the character, T-pose and animation tools.
halftone print 2D game character, tones built from visible printed dot screens, two or three spot inks only, deliberate slight misregistration between the ink layers, rough paper stock texture
Tilemap prompt
Goes in the tilemap tool's custom style field.
halftone print terrain, tones built from visible printed dot screens, two or three spot inks only, slight misregistration between ink layers, rough paper stock texture, no smooth gradients
Background prompt
Generate a background image with this first, then feed that image to the scene splitter. Replace the bracketed part with your own scene.
A single 2D game background plate for [YOUR SCENE — e.g. a seaside village at dusk]. Horizontal composition, drawn as one illustrated scene whose buildings, trees, rocks and props sit clearly apart from one another, each fully visible and not overlapping, so every one of them can be cut out afterwards as a standalone asset. Draw it as a two-colour halftone print: tones built from visible printed dot screens, two or three spot inks only, deliberate slight misregistration between the ink layers and rough paper stock texture. Keep one consistent light direction and one consistent perspective across the whole scene. No characters, no text, no labels, no UI, no logos, no watermark, no border.

Reference for your eye only. The prompts never name a game, so the model designs something of its own instead of copying one.
