Flow is how much is changed per time-you-go-over-a-pixel. Opacity is the maximum amount of change you can make to a pixel per stroke. Photoshop's got both, but it gives it two different names: 'flow' and 'opacity'. Hoping to have this done by end of the coming week and 'release' a bare bone pixel editor. Fixing that helped me developed a tool that was in my stretch goals, the line tool. Oh, while I was fixing a bug to fix an issue I had with not being able to make smooth drawing because I would only paint every frame and that means if the mouse had been moved too quickly they'd be gaps. I also didn't want to make my own GUISkin and found a work around using the standard GUISkin. Was really interesting the iterations I went through because I totally forgot that Unity come in 2 different skins and at first my icon toggle buttons looked great in pro version but not personal. The gif kinda shows how the UI looks now. So, based on the way I was handling menus and dialog boxes a lot of errors kept popping up. Biggest problem I was having was if Unity is closed while my window was open and then reopened Unity would keep primitive types but complex types would disappear. File operations were a bit trickier than I thought. I've updated the OP with what's kinda left to be done. I did find Pixel Draw.ĭone a bunch of stuff this weekend. So, I'll be looking through how they accomplished stuff. Hadn't even seen RagePixel, it's free too. Basically do some research with some artists at this point. If I get this far I should really look into how they do animations. I’ve never used Photoshop, Aseprite, or GraphicsGale. Pixel Edit doesn’t make it easy to add frames in between other frames because of their sprite sheet system. Gimp uses layers thus you can’t use different layers per frame. I hated my experience in Pyxel Edit, Gimp was terrible too and both have different way they do animation. Especially on a workflow / pipeline level. Plus I’m not sure how’d want animation to work. Animation is something that'd be great to touch on but I feel that would only depend on how much 'fun', I'm having by the end of the initial stretch goals and time, of course. Depending on how I progress through the month. The basic feature list is what I'd like to accomplish by the end of the jam. Thanks I've updated the OP to show the features I'm planning on doing. When closing Unity make sure user has saved (prompt to save) If they're features you think I should think about adding please let me know. I've decided to make a pixel editor in Unity. I've found that the documentation isn't the best and tutorials are really hard to find apart from the basics.

If there any tips and tricks you know of please let me know. I've decided to do the toolbox jam as more of an exercise to learn more about Unity editor scripting. I've recently been diving into Unity editor scripting to build tools for Squeeze Me.
