With a lot of new features, an new version of Pixionage pixel editor has came out.
Pixionage (Piksyonaj) is an open source tool made so that you can use to create pixel art, this is its main purpose, art and fun. Although This program can be used to create sprites and maps for games, it suffers from the lack of essential tools.
Initially this project was made for fun and for pixel artists that are doing pixel art as mspainters are mspainting for the sake of mspainting... But, if you find this program useful for any purpose then you're very encouraged to use it.
