Pixelorama, a powerful and accessible open-source pixel art tool v1.0 is out now
#gnu #linux #opensource #foss #art
"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."
Not a ton of progress.... just throwing some colors and shapes in for the strawgrass... a few details as I try to figure out how to make it look realistic. :)

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
