Pixelor aims to be a minimalistic pixel art editor made with LÖVE and GPL licensed.
Why Another One?
There are many editors available and multiple are libre. But, there are advantages in making my own creative tools:
- They can have the features I need, and, more importantly, not have the features I don't need. This allows to keep only what is essential and it is especially important regarding the UI/UX with the fastidious process of making pixel art where a lot of small actions need to be performed in a row. The more features, the more menus and options to deal with, the more clicks to perform anything. I want to optimize the interface so that the common actions are very straightforward.
- I want full control on the evolution of my creative tools, e.g. for stability, to guarantee the future of the projects.
- They may support all platforms that LÖVE supports. In this case, I especially want to create pixel art on my Android device.
Although the tool will be tailored to my needs and vision, I expect that some people will share similar values and find it useful.
