2D Infinite Character Forge - Christmas

**2D Infinite Character Forge - Christmas Edition** generates animated pixel-art characters for Christmas and winter games. The characters are generated in the Unity Editor or at runtime, and there is no online service.

Pick a role, a race and a seed and click Generate. You get a fully animated character with 22 animation slots, ready to export as a PNG, an editable prefab or a baked animated prefab. Every seed gives a new character, and every part of it can be edited.

**22 roles in five groups**

* **North Pole:** Santa, Mrs Claus, Workshop Elf, Toymaker Elf, Reindeer Keeper
* **Folk:** Tomte, Lucia, Yule Witch, Krampus
* **Toys:** Nutcracker, Toy Soldier, Gingerbread Folk, Snowman
* **Winter Court:** Snow Queen, Frost Spirit, Snow Beast
* **Town:** Caroler, Skater, Town Child, Market Vendor, Chimney Sweep, Mischief Goblin

**Fully customizable**

Role, race, household, body material, size, gear quality, snow, lights and knit patterns are independent layers, and you can combine them freely. A gingerbread Santa, a dwarf caroler in a blizzard or an ice-bodied Lucia is one click away.

**28 race presets.** 8 of them are new: Christmas Elf, Tomte, Snowfolk, Gingerbread, Nutcracker, Krampus, Snow Beast and Frost Spirit. You can also create your own presets.

* **6 body materials:** flesh, snow, gingerbread, painted wood, ice and fur. Each race keeps its own shapes.
* **3 size classes at the same pixel size:** Small (elves, children, gingerbread folk), Normal and Large (Krampus, snow beasts). Characters are never scaled.
* **7 households.** Each has its own costume colours, fairy-light colours and patterns, gift wrapping and emblem.
* **Snow levels** from a light dusting to a blizzard with caps and icicles.
* **Fairy-light strings, knit sweater patterns, horns and frosty breath.**
* **Gear quality** set per slot by material, craft and condition. Wear includes grime, chimney soot, patches, tears and dents, so the same rolling pin can be a sooty hand-me-down or a North Pole heirloom.
* **A curated festive catalog:**
* Held items: candy canes, birch rods, hand bells, star wands, lanterns, presents, snowballs, candles, a pop gun and more
* Headwear: Santa, elf and tomte hats, the Lucia candle crown, shakos
* Back items: sacks
* Shields: peppermint, gift and ice shields
* Footwear: ice skates, hooves and more

**22 animations**

Idle, Walk, Run, Jump, Hurt, Die, Block, Celebrate, Attack (three variants), Roll, Reload and Shoot, plus 8 Christmas animations: Throw (a snowball or a present), Give, Wave, Sing, Ring, Skate, Dance and Sneak. Throw and Give have animation events for your gameplay code.

**Lights and Bloom**

Fairy lights, candles, lanterns, ice magic and glowing eyes are part of the character. They follow every animation frame and produce an emission mask for Bloom. The package includes:

* an additive emission layer component
* emissive sprite shaders and materials
* _Emission.png export

**Suitable for**

Christmas and winter-themed platformers, snowball-fight and party games, cozy village and life sims, holiday events in existing games, RPG side quests, card and tower-defence games, and seasonal mobile games.

**Included**

* Editor window with live preview (Color, Emission Mask and Glow views)
* Presets, JSON save and load
* Runtime API: SetRole, SetHousehold, SetBody, SetSnow and others
* Showcase scene and a snowball-fight demo, where 180+ characters are generated live in a snowy village square at night
* Full editable C# source
* EditMode tests
* English documentation
* Optional URP material

Works with the built-in render pipeline and URP. It is a separate edition from the other 2D Infinite Character Forge editions and can be installed alongside them in the same project. All designs are original and based on generic folklore.
