[Question] What are some good open-source tools for making pixel art?
I want to get into the pixel art space. I've heard of some tools a friend uses, but I'd prefer to use something open-source if possible. What are some of the best options available?
Aseprite is technically open source.. https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite
I believe aseprite is no longer open sourced?
they are "open source", but under their own license (eula), it used to be fully, there is a libre fork and they are working on a rewrite https://github.com/LibreSprite/LibreSprite
I'm not very experienced, so someone can probably correct me, but from what I've seen there's quite a few options. Technically, with the right settings, you can use Gimp or Krita. There's Piskel, which is open source and I think there's an offline build. Also, I've never used it before, but there's an open source fork of Aseprite called Libresprite.
Lospec has a good list of software(proprietary & open source ) HERE
I was actually searching recently. I unfortunately couldn't find and dedicated pixel art programs that were open sourced and still being updated. Or at least ones with features I want.
