Build 10 · Ember & Bean, the dragon café

A dragon barista: a pixel art story in one Aseprite file

A little dragon takes a job behind a café counter, gets carried away warming a drink, and scorches the order. The next attempt is gentler, the customer is happy, and another order arrives.

What makes it work

Inside the file

  • Three tags tell the story: too-hot, gentle-heat and serve.
  • 13 layers keep the dragon's anatomy separately editable, and the counter hides its lower body naturally.
  • Built by a different AI agent (Codex) through the same SpriteRelay CLI.
