NewThe first bossCrypt layout

Add a boss at the end of the first crypt, a huge armored knight. Beating him should unlock the Sunheart reliquary.

  • Added The Iron Warden
  • Placed him in the last hall
  • Added milestone Warden slain
  • Locked the Sunheart reliquary until then

The Iron Warden now guards the last hall of the first descent. When he falls, the Sunheart reliquary unlocks. Want a theme for the fight?

Why I made it

I built Chunkyard so you can finally make that game.

If you're anything like me, you grew up playing games like Minecraft, The Legend of Zelda, or Pokémon, and you've always wanted to make your own. But you never did, because learning to program, draw, compose music, and publish a game is an unbelievable amount of work.

How it works

Your vision, made real.

You're involved at every step, so it's exactly the game you want.

  1. Describe it

    Give Chunkyard your vision in the chat. New entities, items, structures, maps, and storylines are added at your command.

  2. Make it yours

    Every generated asset waits for your approval. Change anything, anytime, by hand or by asking.

  3. Play and export

    Press Playtest to play your game in its own window. When you're happy, export it for Windows, macOS, Linux, or the web.

What you can make

Any 2D top-down game.

Some places to start:

Survival

Hunger, crafting, and enemies that come out at night.

RPGs

Quests, towns, bosses, and loot.

Farming sims

Crops, animals, and a farm to run.

Dungeon crawlers

Traps, locked rooms, and enemies.

Creature collectors

Companions and wild creatures to find.

Sandboxes

No goals, just build.

Drawn by Chunkyard

Pixel art, pixel by pixel.

Chunkyard draws in the art style you set, animates every creature in all four directions, and composes music for your game.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Chunkyard AI slop?

Chunkyard obviously uses AI. I know what most AI art looks like, and I didn't want that in my games or in yours. Chunkyard's pixel art engine works pixel by pixel, revises each sprite several times, and follows the art style you set. Nothing goes into your game until you've approved it, and you can always steer a sprite or edit it yourself. Chunkyard refuses requests for illegal content.

Do I need to know how to draw or program?

No. Describe what you want in plain English. Chunkyard draws the pixel art, animates the creatures, composes the music, and sets up the rules. You decide what stays.

What kinds of games can I make?

Any 2D top-down game: survival, RPGs, farming sims, dungeon crawlers, creature collectors, or a sandbox with no goals. Maybe a Pokémon-style monster trainer, a Zelda-style dungeon crawler, or a cozy town sim. It's up to you.

What does it cost?

You buy Chunkyard once. The chat, drawings, and music use coins. Every new account starts with 5,000, every paid action shows its price before it runs, and you can buy more in the app.

What if the first draft isn't right?

Edit anything, anytime: creatures, items, maps, art, rules, and story. Change it by hand, redraw a sprite with notes, or ask the chat.

Can I share or sell the games I make?

Yes. Export your game for Windows, macOS, Linux, or the web, then send it to friends, sell it, or keep it to yourself. The games you make are yours.

Do my players need Chunkyard?

No. An exported game runs on its own, offline, with no account.

What does Chunkyard run on?

Windows, macOS, and Linux.

If there's a game you've wanted to make for years, give it a shot.
