User blog:Bluerobin2/Recommendation: Pyxel Edit



So I was browsing my Twitter and doing all the normal things a person does on the internet until I stumbled upon Pyxel Edit. It looked really cool so I downloaded the old, free version. Needless to say, I was blown away. Pyxel Edit is a highly capable and powerful pixel art editor. I liked the free version a lot, but I wanted the paid version (currently $9 or more if you want), so I bought it. It was then that I realized how great of a tool it is for PTC. I like to make my graphics for Petit Computer on my computer because its easier and you have a lot more variety in options. Before I got Pyxel Edit or even heard of it I had multiple problems I would run into. Two of the biggest ones were How animated sprites would look on ptc and It was difficult to keep everything in a 16x16 large, invisible grid. Pyxel edit solves all of that, and adds even more. In a single file, you could define animations. As many as you want. And they will be played back in program! Pyxel also has a dedicated tile system which allowed me to have that large, 16x16 grid I always wanted. In a nutshell, you could say that Pyxel Edit is PTC's CHRED on steroids and I love it.

I should say that this program was not made for PTC specifically, so you would need PTC Utilities to export your images to a qr. I should also say that this program is still in beta and its not done. I should also say that as it gets updated, the price goes up so the earlier you buy, the cheaper. You don't have to pay for future versions.

So, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? At least try the free version. If you are interested in making graphics for Petit Computer (or something else) this is the program for you.

I'm Bluerobin2 and I approve of this message.

Thank you.
