"I love good pixel art, and so it's nice to see more tools becoming available for game developers, especially when they're open source too. Pixelorama version 1.0 is out now after 5 years in development. Another fun tool made with Godot Engine!

The 1.0 release brings with it Multiple layer blend modes, non-destructive effects per layer, a new curve tool, an extension explorer system, you can import and export video files, a basic command line interface and much more."

A quotation from La Bruyere

There are certain things in which mediocrity is intolerable: poetry, music, painting, public eloquence. What torture it is to hear a frigid speech being pompously declaimed, of second-rate verse spoken with all a bad poet’s bombast!

[Il y a de certaines choses dont la médiocrité est insupportable: la poésie, la musique, la peinture, le discours public. Quel supplice que celui d’entendre déclamer pompeusement un froid discours, ou prononcer de médiocres vers avec toute l’emphase d’un mauvais poète!]

Jean de La Bruyère (1645-1696) French essayist, moralist
The Characters [Les Caractères], ch. 1 “Of Works of the Mind [Des Ouvrages de l’Esprit],” § 7 (1.7) (1688) [tr. Stewart (1970)]
