Hey everyone, it's been a while. We just released version 0.9 with a lot of new features, including new tools and systems. You can see a showcase of them in this video:

How have I not seen this before? This looks great! Will try it ASAP, can I like submit stuff I made in it somewhere?

(I'm one of the three people on earth who doesn't have Discord, so I hope it's OK if I post here)

Some feedback: It's real good! The one thing I would definitely want to change is that holding the Alt or Shift key selects the Color picker (but only as long as it's held). I couldn't find a way to make that happen in the settings... Hopefully it's not to frustrating to hear about artist's pet peeves all day, sorry! :o That's how I do it in Corel Painter and Aseprite so I'm very very used to doing it.

Once, I made a paint application for the terminal in Rust - what I would consider 'from scratch'. Obviously very tiny compared to your project and hardly usable, so the extensive functionality of Pixelorama is very impressive to me.

Best of luck with development!

Nice! Sure, no problem with posting your creations here. Thank you for the feedback! :smile:
